      He was literally defeated by the Force itself, literally the only thing he can't understand. It's actually quite respectful.
      And if he wasn't in Rebels, we might not have gotten the new Thrawn novels, written by Timothy Zahn, starting with Thrawn (2017)

    • @SardonicJosh
      @SardonicJosh ปีที่แล้ว

      On the bright side, all of Timothy Zahn’s books (both legends and canon) can be read as one separate saga about Thrawn with some mental gymnastics.
      So no need to include rebels in headcanon if you don’t like it.

    Memes aside...
    Thrawn isn't one to needlessly spill blood when he can achieve the same task without it. He knew Ezra would attempt this. And he always chooses his words carefully. Even when those he's speaking to don't understand their full context. Lothal is under Imperial rule. Lothal citizens are Imperial citizens.
    I believe he likely already directed the gunners of the Chimera to pre-determined targets across the city that would incur minimal death. But wreak havoc all the same.

    Timothy Zahn said he had no problem with this scene, because Thrawn was only attacking the buildings and homes and not the Lothalians running away. Because Thrawn knew Erza would do anything to protect his people. Thrawn would only threaten to attack the civilians if Ezra wasn't going to budge. Zahn thought that was an efficient tactic that Thrawn would take to get his base back, and it worked.
