EckhartsLadder Factions compared and Versus are making a comeback and I couldn’t be more exited!
I am first to claim first daddi eck *is now gonna get screamed at by people in comments*
EckhartsLadder which faction has the best company commander?
EckhartsLadder I think Grand Admiral Thrawn is the best admiral, I totally agree with this list. Great Video btw
Grand Admiral Thrawn IS the best, nobody can dispute it as nobody can be better than him :P
Admirals without context:
1. A guy
2. A member of the Blue Man group
3. A fish person
4. A spider cyborg
XDDD
Blue man group lol
Yep, pretty much right.
Lol
I thought 2. Was a blueberry
I think it's pretty obvious that Admiral Yularen is the best Admiral. I mean, have you SEEN that mustache?
Edit: shit, Thrawn's on the list.
XepherTim I agree, Thrawn is op, but yularens mustache is amazing...
Same
To be fair thrawn is a grand admiral, the question was simply admirals soooo 🤷♂️ there is a debate for him to be even featured on this list, but out of everyone here he is the best no doubt
@New Bavaria almost right. Batonn
Lol
"Ackbar died of old age."
Ha, yes. Last Jedi didn't happen.
as it should be

@@DrPhil-hz4up cringe meme on a cringe account but I'll let it slide for approving my opinion
@@schwany6703 its treason then
I think we can all agree it would be better if it didn't
*To me, Thrawn’s only true enemy was the plot*
exactly!!!
Very true, and sad
he was but unstoppable if not for plot armour
Yes fuckin plot armor is so goddammit stupid
No plot = Thrawn has world dominance
Trench’s Advantages: Big Brain
Trench’s Problem: Big Head
Cosmo 456 yup
Ironic
Aaron Virdee he could save others from death... but not himself
He pretty much was carrying the separatist army
Trench’s Downfall: no head
Eating fish can make your brain smarter, Admiral Ackbar is a fish himself, therefore he's automatically smart!
Or he could just be a cannibal? As a large portion of fish are
Genius!!
OMFG is true, in my opinion is the best almirant
What is I just eat Ackbar?
I've seen this line of thought before. It's a dangerous thing. It makes people think things like:
'Cats have four legs / My dog has four legs / So my dog is a cat'.
Imagine these four all commanding the same fleet. Unstoppable
All you need is thrawn and ackbar.
2 cooperating fleets together against the entire galaxy
Combining the rebel fleet diversity and effectiveness with the sheer power of the imperial ISD and thrawn’s brain, and you get a duo that could conquer the universe
Yularen would ruin it
Christ imagine Trench up in there too
Need we bring Revan against them?
Well to be fair they would partially try to kill each other in most situations :)
Who would win?
A staggeringly high amount of planetary systems including fleets and defenses

Thrawn: This list is so artistically done
In legends, the new republic had a maniche called "the thrawn simulator". It purpose was to simulate a thrawn attack. I think that says a lot about Thrawn
Did they actually? 😂
Did anyone doubt that Thrawn was going to be number one?
Who the fuck did you think was smarter than Thrawn?
Ix skill 97 ix, trench was a little close to him but thrawn is easily #1
@@ef-5tornado495 nah bro. Trench wasn't even close. While trench, yularen and ackbar will work on a strategy to win a battle, thrawn will find a strategy to win the whole fucking war just by studying art lol
Quaka, true
when he talked about how ackbar lived long enough to die of old age a felt really sad because of the last jedi
Well, he lives longer in canon than in legends lol. So don't be too sad.
Zachary Crane why? It's just a movie, who cares?
The first rule of the Last Jedi is that we don't talk about the Last Jedi!
AJ Jones I whole heartedly agree
AJ Jones no people who actually like a majority of star wars should overlook the moaners on the last Jedi and all the other star wars things Disney has made and what would star wars look like if the moaners got there way?
If only Ackbar could have died naturally in Canon. Instead he gets one tiny background role in TLJ before being blown away.
R.I.P Ackbar
Why couldn't he get Mary Poppins powers?
why couldn't he be the one to kamikaze the first order? rip );
The_DwarvenSquirrel do you really want a guy named "akbar" to do a suicide attack?
Mascamuelas Smith Yes. It would be beautiful.
Ackbar in Legends: Died 29 ABY; Ackbar in Canon: Died 34 ABY. In the Last Jedi Novelization, a passage from Ackbar's perspective indicates that he's well past his retirement age.
Letting Leia die would've resolved the issue of an actress not being alive to play that role anymore. And letting Ackbar be the one to suicide run the Supremacy would've spared us that insufferably incompetent Holdo. Poe did nothing wrong!
“Perhaps those best suited for power, are those who never seeks it” (Admiral Ackbar)
thrawn didnt really seek power for himself, he wanted power to stop the yuuzan vhong which is a threat that cannot even be concieved by the whole galaxy at the time, in his own word " between the two evil, one is still keeping the galaxy stable. and he also knew that when the empire falls the lives of most people in the galaxy would be worst and he was right, when the new republic took over, they only cared to protect key system leaving other system under constant pirate attacks and other criminalsmost of the outer rim systems fell into caos, when thrawn restablished the empire under his rule, he was a benevolent king, he cared for his people. the only proble though is that palpatine planed everything including thrawns death so palpatine can return as soon as thrawn died. thrawn would have been the perfect emperor to rule the galaxy under his new empire. how sad that he died. admiral ackbar may be kinder but thrawn is better, thats just my opinion though, but ofcourse admiral ackbar is a great admiral and a great person too, those two admirals are the only reason I like star wars.
I knew it would be Thrawn, personally he is my favorite character, the way he screws with the new republic and the Luke Skywalker himself is amazing, he is pure tactical genius
@o o f Yep, he is truly evil and a genius
Yes, but it goes further, as the reason he’s better than the others is that he’s as good at strategy and he is at tactics, thus he can run an entire navy, while the others really only could be effective running a fleet.
“To defeat an enemy, you must know them...”
Captain Cutter "not simply there battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art."
Captain Cutter, Love that quote man
"It's a trap!"
Sorry. I couldn't remember any quotes that haven't been previously mentioned.
"But it was so artistically done."
“Putting something in quotation marks automatically makes it profound.”
Read title, clicked on the video, skipped to the last minute, saw thrawns face and thought "yep."
You didn't need to make this video. We all know that I am the best Admiral.
I follow your thoughts, Grand Admiral.
One of the only imperials I would not want to annoy.
@@samp8542 I would think you would try not to annoy any imperials...
@@inciner8_playz194 okay, Thrawn, Vader, palpatine, and any member of the shadow guard more so than others
Bruh you got eaten by a space wale and your a blue berry

Enemies: understandable have a great day.
When I saw the title, the only question that went through my mind was, "I wonder who will be second to Thrawn"
Bel iblis
JTR when i saw it I thought “ehem sir mandalor”
Thrawn. Seems to be undisputed. Considering before I clicked the episode, He's the first name that comes to mind.
“Admirable” i see what you did there

I would LOVE to see a battle with Thrawn and Trench. These two were GREAT admirals.
Any sane person would agree when I say that Thrawn wins
yES FINALLY I ASKED FOR MONTHS
i mean i gave up after 3 months but hey
same
Same pal...except I kept going and stopped at 125 attempts...I counted, and was planning to go to 175 but decided to stop...that's like 4 months I kept asking, and would have been 5 and a half cause I asked once per day, plus extra times that I didn't count...I think I have a problem😂
Jordan Hendrix pull up!!! 😁😁😁
Why is your *y* so small
Admiral Ackbar
Tactical genius, best admiral in rebel navy, helped to destroy Death Star, survived And won many battles
*Dies in background*
Rip Ackbar: you deserved more screen time. Hoping for Ackbar: a Star Wars Story
Kennedy's propaganda, not buying it. Ackbar died of old age during Yuuzhan Vong Invasion.
I just prefer Legends approach instead of "Oh, by the way, Ackbar died. So here's what's-her-face to replace him... don't ask her what the plan is, she won't tell anyway. Have fun dying" Ugh.
Sorry, had to let it out.
Damnit Disney no on likes you
Ackbar had ten minutes of screen time in the entire original trilogy, and a bit more in the Clone Wars. He wasn’t all that important to the general public, and didn’t really need a dramatic slow-motion sad music death scene. I think it’s actually good that he died like that. I’m not saying I didn’t like how he died in Legends, I think that’s a very good thing that he’s among one of the few characters who died peacefully. But his death in Canon isn’t bad at all. It reminds us that we are watching something actually happening, not just a fictional story where the will of the fans rules all. It reminds us that anyone can die at any moment, and it brings a lot more realism and weight to the story.
Yes, i think Its really good how He died in canon, it just shows that anyone can die, no matter how much important he is, And i think it Will be ok if He died like that, but i thought He Will fight atleast one Battle, when He Will be commanding whole fleet to the Victory. And die like Hero, Now in canon, He just died while running away, i think He deserved more heroic death. He doesnt need to die slowly with sad music, or ramming raddus into Supremacy, And saving everyone, just a heroic death
I don't like thrawn, he bought my head :,(
Did he really lol
@@HenryBoss-ym4ol He bought it as a piece of art after he died

Oh cool I wish they showed that in rebels

You should've added Admiral Holdo or General Hux as a Joke. Just to show how far down the list they should be placed.
Ivan Filipovic doesn’t make him any less of a dumbass
Hux is a general not an admiral.
For the price of a cup of coffee, you can end General Hux abuse today.
Hux was actually really smart, it’s not his fault he was forced to fight characters with plot armour
Also, Holdo gets hate, but she was hardly incompetent. It’s just _The Last Jedi_ portrayed her as a b*tch
You know, Legends Grievous VS Thrawn would be interesting.
Though I believe Thrawn would succeed in the end.
In a battle to the death, not even close. In the position of leading armies against the other, I agree it'd be close. Grievous specializes in ambush tactics that even Jedi had trouble dealing with, and Thrawn's specialty is turning his enemy's strengths into weaknesses. Grievous' early history would be difficult for Thrawn to get ahold of, but if he figured it out he'd play him like chiss harp.
Honestly it depends on how much resources each side has. Depends on when we’re putting them against one another . If Legends Grievous is at the beginning of TCW, and Thrawn is at the beginning of the Thrawn Trilogy, then hands down Thrawn wipes the floor with Grievous. But the end of TCW Grievous with an entire fleet backing him? Even Thrawn would have a tough time I feel
@@ShadyOakMinistries I meant it in the sense of leading armies of course, Thrawn isn't a physical fighter. I think Grievous's aggressive yet clever tactics would give Thrawn more of a run for his money as opposed to desperate Rebel guerillas, but I'm sure he could at a certain point see what makes Grievous click as well. Especially if he has gotten to study Kaleesh culture and their art of war.
I think the main problem with grievous is that he had really shitty troops (droids) if he had a competent army he would’ve been a bigger threat
Legends Grievous is more of a land general and hes great but hes also a fairly good Admiral.
I give Thrawn the naval advantage but you cant put legends Grievous vs Thrawn in a land battle anyway Thrawn is purely an admiral.
Honorable mentions : High Admiral Zsinj, General Solo, General Antilles, General A'baht, High Admiral Teradoc, General Bel Iblis, Warmaster Nas Choka
Mithrawnuruodo general kenobi
General Solo? Not to pick holes or anything, but I reckon I'd see him as a pilot over an admiral.
At the Imperial Academy, his superiors considered him better suited for a career on a ship's bridge but all he wanted was to fly. He proved at the command of Mon Remonda (in Solo Command novel) that they were not completely wrong.
Grevious
Greivous was more of a warrior imo, with his droids he just sent them forwad due to their zerg rush style and numbers, he wasn't that strategical.
Literally any opposing faction: We have an army
Empire: We have a Thrawn
Thrawn: *is in a list related to strategy*
Other leader: why do I hear boss music
I originally answerd thrawn in the poll, then saw our favorite mustachioed admiral getting no love so I picked him
ethan hatcher same
Did the same for Trench XD
Same for Trench. It's near unfair to put Thrawn in here, so I basically voted for "besides Thrawn, who's the best admiral" lol
I know that's a bit against the point, but we ALL know Thrawn is overall just the best.
Yularen was younger and less experienced than anyone else on this list so for once you said something that made sense.
Of course, it can be argued that Ackbar achieved more than Thrawn but bringing the New Republic to its knees with 9 Imperial-class Star Destroyers is hard to beat
Jonas Hemmingsson Imagine what HE could have done with MORE than just 9...
Imagine what he could have done if he had more power than Tarkin, the ability to go through with his Tie Defender project instead of the stupid deathstar. He wouldn't have been cocky or relied on fear, but he would have sent a stronger message by outskilling and outthinking anyone who tried. Also the ffact that he doesnt kill logical, order following officers like Captain Needa or whatever who got killed for letting Solo escape when he didn't do anything wrong. Kill people like Admiral Konstantine in rebels would've made sense though. I'd love to be a captain in Thrawns fleet because i'd learn so much.
@@Masa6x dude the only reason that thrawn works with the empire is because of Anakin Skywalker and thrawn became great friends before Darth Vader was a thing
master hacker I think you’re thinking of Tarkin, not Thrawn.
@@heatherrwins2795 no both of them were friends
My favorite character(of the admirals): Trench
The best admiral: Thrawn
I’ve always like Trench because he looks cool, is a good general, and I’m slightly biased towards separatists and the republic because they had the coolest infantry imo(clones and droids respectively). However, Thrawn is a close 2nd for my favorite character just because of how cunning and intelligent he is. He is a true leader
Agreed!!!
1. Thrawn
2. Trench
3. Ackbar
4. Yularen
I’m going to reread Heir to the Empire the read the rest of trilogy Thrawn is almost God like in my opinion that’s why he did a Admiral job
Grand Admiral Dragon one I’m current reading Dark Force Rising.
Grand Admiral Dragon one dude just too the empire is some lot books of also recommend reading THRAWN by the same author its also really good
Really, naval puns.
My ranking:
4) Yularen. Yularen wasn’t really skilled. He isn’t really good at finding good strategys, following the Jedi most of the time and making countless mistakes. His problem is that he can’t adapt himself to different situations. But he is still a good military leader for the empire.
3) Ackbar. Ackbar is following his superiors most of the time. But the decision that he makes and his capability to survive in horrible situations (Like at the Battle of Endor) is truly remarkable.
2) Trench. Trench is a really good leader. His capability to fight (and win) against difficult situations (like a stealth ship attacking) is remarkable, and his effective tactics can be feared. Effectiveness, brutality, rapidity. However, his default is that he is too arrogant and underestimate his enemies too much.
1) Thrawn. I think it’s useless to tell you why he is first, you already know.
Hmmmm you have made 1 mistake thrown deserves number 0
GlitchyMarioStar64 thrawn died before the battle of Endor
@@clonetrooper3177 He didnt die
Clone Trooper Let’s be fair that was due to the Mcguffens known as The Force and some random space whales that can somehow go into hyperspace while making engine noises. This was not a defeat worthy of being Thrawn’s end.
Thrawn is by far the best commander so long as we’re going by the EU (and even with Didney Canon he’s still a damn fine strategist). Ukio was a juggernaut of fortifications and my bluegga took it with optical illusions and some art pieces.
Great points and I like how you stuck to EU Thrawn, rather than the new canon Thrawn who's a little bit softer and underplayed by the Star Wars Rebels team who I believe, didn't know how to write him properly. Timothy Zahn's new novel however shows that Yularen held Thrawn in very high regard and even helped him eventually achieve the position of Grand Admiral. Thrawn is shown as more than just a tactical genius but also as something of a super sleuth. By studying old clone wars tech and identifying doonium as a key component in the super secret Death Star project, Thrawn basically pieces it all together on his own, and even confronts the Emperor about it face to face. He's on a whole other level and despite his questionable fate at the end of Rebels, I'm glad he's still alive and part of the new canon. Definitely the best military leader in this universe. I was curious as to who you think are the other five most intelligent people in star wars?
Does legends count?
The feeling I got from the Thrawn trilogy was that Zahn started from the writing prompt: "What if Sherlock Holmes was an Imperial admiral?" Being an expert sleuth is the central aspect of his character, which fuels his other tactical skills. A lot of adaptations of him miss that, I think.
The other thing is that he's also not quite as godlike as generally thought by fans, he made quite a few mistakes, including placing far too much reliance on an obviously compromised agent (Niles Ferrier) who had failed him many times before.
rebels thrawn sucks
I think rebels thrown would still win this contest. Even with plot armour demand he lose often, he didn’t ever feel like he properly lost. With things like the bendu and pergil, they were unpredictable and unreactable. Every other ‘defeat’ was usually the rebels escaping, thrawn being called away by something bigger, or small bases he didn’t personally command.
It's funny you say that, because Timothy Zahn was on the writing team to help with Thrawn's entire character including lines
Anyone here after trench’s death in clone wars season 7
One of the best things about Thrawn and Ackbar is their ability to utilize the officers and ideas around them. Both Ackbar listening to Lando at Endor and Thrawn promoting Rejlii Mithel (the tractor beam officer in "The Last Command") show that they don't just command through strength and ability, they lead with humility, unafraid of other people having ideas that might very well help win the day, and in Thrawn's case, rewarding ingenuity and initiative, even if they don't always lead to immediate success.
Summed up by one of my favorite Thrawn quotes - "You served too long under Lord Vader, Captain. I have no qualms about accepting a useful idea merely because it wasn't my own." (I do love the little dig at Vader there, especially since he's not around to hear it)
Eckhartsladder: talks about admiral ackbar, doesn’t mention “it’s a trap”
😢😢
May not be much but I love the fact I could recognize every admiral instantly in the thumbnail. Yularen, Ackbar, Thrawn, Trench
Trench didn’t so much goof as he took a gamble and luck didn’t favor him.
So, kinda like WW1 Germany
@@handleonafridge6828 That was just a quagmire of tangled political alliances
Its more like plot that Didn't favor him, the chances of him having a call for his gamble is higher than his enemies. Although I would understand why ot happened to him...
Before watching
Thrawn
Knew it ;)
0:04 Confused Mon Travolta, center screen - he's the one who prompted Ackbar to yell "IT'S A TRAP!"
OK, now this is his official name for me.
Trench is amazing. Even though he isn't the best he's still an amazing admiral. It's like he's got nine lives.
Seriously, I agree that Trench does deserve third place, but I gotta give some respect. That dude was outplayed by Anakin and instead of running like a coward or blaming his droid crew, he tried to analyze a solution and then ultimately decided to accept his fate.
Also Trench was responsible for Order 66 working! If he didn't analyze the battlefield when Tup fired the Jedi General, the Republic would've probably did the necessary researches without the separatists knowing and they would've probably discovered the inihibitor chip inside the clones' head, avoiding the mass Jedi genocide that happened in Revenge of the Sith. Chancellor Palpatine would've surely tried his best to cover the secret, but he would've still lost much more precious time if he didn't get immediately informed by Dooku who was informed by Trench. So yeah, in the long run you might say Admiral Trench was partially responsible for the fall of the Jedi Order and the Republic
1:54 I think Admiral Yularen did an *admirable* job 😂
Have to give it to Thrawn.
same
He is the main reason I'd be convinced to join the Empire. To hell with Palpatine and his man-child Vader. Those two can jerk each other off.
Really 😮
Thrawn wins hell yea he's the best

Not kidding, btw. Just gotta finish the RepCom novels, Bounty Hunter trilogy, and Legacy of the Force books first...might take some time, so don't get impatient😁
Jordan Hendrix you will not regret it.
One of the best if not the best of the eu
Eck convinced me too. I’ll be checking it out as soon as I get the chance.
And after your done the EU Thrawn trilogy, I’d also suggest the new Canon trilogy. In some ways the new Thrawn trilogy is better than the old because we get to see the story from his side, even sometimes from in Thrawn’s head. In the EU trilogy it always felt like we were on the outside looking in at Thrawn’s brilliance.
@@speed150mph I didn't know there was a 3rd canon book on Thrawn. I've read the first two and they were great. When did the 3rd book get published and what's its title?
Do Which faction has the best ground commander? If possible. Thrawn rocks. Second I knew Thrawn would be number one.
Does anyone agree with me?
It’s a good idea, but there aren’t many options for ground commanders, at least ones who have feats to speak of. I can think of Veers for the Empire and Grievous for the CIS, but I can’t think of anyone else off the top of my head.
Bookhead714 Han or Leia for the Rebels, and Captain Rex for the Republic.
With the release of the bad batch arc, I think trench was the most powerful for his time only because he knew exactly what the Jedi would do thanks to Echo as 'the algorithm'.
Fleet commanded by Thrawn vs Fleet commanded by Revan, now THAT'S something we need to see.
Thrawn, without question. All the others we either half competent and/or had help from Jedi or extraordinary/special characters in the SW universe. Thrawn essentially did what the Rebels did, with no Jedi. And he did it so masterfully. These new SW movies are a tragedy. I'd they had done them properly and about the Heir to the Empire trilogy, it would have easily surpassed any of the previous movies/trilogies.
He had help for a time from C'Baoth's clone who used the force on several occasions to enhance Thrawn's fleet in several battles.
TESI303 I wouldn’t be too concerned. There is still time. Timothy Zahn with his new Thrawn novel trilogy, and Dave Filoni with the Star Wars Rebels cartoon have set it up perfectly for a Return of Thrawn in the future. With the introduction of a new grave threat to the universe (the Grisks) we could even have Thrawn on our side instead of being the villain to be slain
@@speed150mph I would not want to see Thrawn side with the Rebels. The Galactic Empire, under the new military command is different to that of Palpatine.
wooooah when i saw the thumbnail i was like this is gonna be hard because all these admirals are badasses
As much as I love Thrawn's insane genius, Gilad Pellaeon is my favorite Admiral in Star Wars, followed closely by Traest Kre'fey.
You don’t like pompous turds like Nek’Bwatu? Lol My favorite would definitely be Thrawn. He’s just too calm and cool. Am I the only one that didn’t like his voice in Rebels though? I always imagined it would sound like Jason Issacs.

Sequels: oh I don't think so
Good stuff. I’m reading the Thrawn trilogy right now because of how much you praise it; I’m surprised I missed it. If you don’t mind, I have a vid request:
MCRN Donnager-class battleship vs either a UNSC Halberd-class heavy destroyer or UNSC Autumn-refit Halcyon-class, whichever you feel would make a closer/more interesting matchup.
Halo is just too advanced, The expanse is really realistic(at least earlier in the series) with all the techs being realistically possible while Halo has alot more tech thats less realistic and more powerful. Also ship size is a major thing, the Donnager is just slightly larger a halberd, and is dwarfed by a Halcyon.
I think you underestimate the Expanse-or rather overestimate the UNSC. Most of the really crazy stuff in Halo comes from the Covenant and Forerunners. Aside from artificial gravity and advanced AI, both sides operate on the same ideas: heavy armor, speed, and the same core weapons of missiles, mass-drivers, and point-defense; PD in the Expanse is actually good enough that the idea of “starfighters,” is bogus. Both sides fire in heavy volleys to overwhelm PDC and both have access to nuclear warheads. I would argue that in ways, Donnager makes up differences: she doesn’t have an AI, but her rails are on turrets and fire far faster, for example. The Expanse and pre- and mid-war UNSC are a better fight than you think.
I am not overestimating the UNSC, I have numerous feats to compare and the UNSC always comes out on top. First off, ship speed - Prewar ships were capable of making it from the edge of a solar system to a inner planet it mere hours with sublight engines(This was likely a smaller system though, but still the distance from the belt or jupiter to mars or earth), this means that the halo has much more powerful reactors and engines. Onto railguns, the UNSC used their Magnetic accelerator cannon(MAC) as their primary weapon, it accelarated an object to extremely high speeds(above 1000km/s), imparting so much energy that the ship had to burn it's engines to compensate for the momentum. Hits were known to completly destroy a non-shielded ship, and with ships with shields they were known to knock them off course. They also used smaller faster firing railguns for Point defense. The only advantage I see for the expanse is their torpedoes, which can easily be taken out by PD. A single hit from the mac will completely destroy the donnager, even if it's a glancing blow. I love both the expanse and Halo but Halo tech is just far more powerful due to it not being constrained by realism, while the expanse is.
Here’s one better: UNSC infinity vs an executor class star destroyer
Who are the greatest minds of star wars ? I wonder who could outsmart thrawn

wow so sorry I couldn't like and binge your vids the last few days Eckharts, went on an outing. But still, notif squad and ive been waiting for this vid for so long! Good job
I knew Thrawn would win just from the title of the video! 🤣
Imagine being taken into hyperspace by a squid. Thrawn doesn't need to imagine that.
that was how he was beaten in rebels and now ahsoka will be hunting him in her spinoff since hes alive.
ohhhh even closer to 200k ohhh
Noice vid. Love it. Wish we got to see more of Trench’s species.
Recusant Class Light Destroyer vs Gladiator Class Star Destroyer
I don't like Trench's species, because they look like spiders.
First they introduce a species based on one of my favorite animals, then they never use that species again, thanks Disney
I thought there was going to be a IT’S A TRAP Meme
Admiral Raddus was pretty good, despite his tiny amount of screen time.
*Clears Throat* Ahem
Grand Admiral Thrawn Good Day, Grand Admiral. How fares the hunt for the Rebel Scum?
Do you dare to do like you are Thrawn? I'm Dead. Palleon knows it.
Grandadmiral...? Do you dare to english right? Or even use spaces
The Granddad Miral Thrawn faction? Never heard of it. The Grand Admiral Thrawn faction is where the best admiralizing happens.
Grand Admiral Thrawn, Lol
Thrawn, no contest. Especially Legends Thrawn.
Patrick Mieslinger Have you watched Star Wars Rebels?
@@kreia187 got news for you buddy
My rankings:
Thrawn,
Ackbar,
Trench,
Yularin.
Though Trench and Ackbar could swap.
And yet Ackbar was killed like a piece of trash in the last movie, and the rebel 'leaders' looked like they were dressed for a cocktail party and worrying about 'running out of fuel' in space which has zero resistance and then Leia literally does a Superman through space. That movie did massive damage to Star Wars.
I think Yularen is better than Ackbar
Please Respect People opinions
Michima it’s all about that acceleration, the first order would’ve been able to see overtake the resistance. That’s why fuel is still important, other than that I agree
Clearly it is admiral Holdo, the best admiral to ever exist. She even won that battle where everyone was like "oh wow she's the greatest."
Omg so close to 200k, your channel has grown so fast eck
Answer: Thrawn. Now time to watch the video.
Trench: I am the best admiral! This blue dude can't possibly beat me!
Thrawn: (Starts googling famous paintings)
Everyone: OH GOD, RUN!
Tranch: Wait, wha-
(Entire fleet dies in 0.01 seconds)
1:53 I think he did an admirable job “I see what you did there”
Hey Eckarts, how has your week been so far?
Pretty average bud!
EckhartsLadder Well that’s nice to hear!
EckhartsLadder could be worse
Good video Eck
I really like these videos and they’re great to listen to while playing Battlefront 2
The biggest thing why Thrawn is the best admiral in the star wars universe, is how his feats are written carefully enough to not feel like bullsh*t. He doesn't just figure things out without any hint ever given. I mean he kinda does, but the things aren't just out of the blue. He has reasons to know things, and not even through magical force foresight.
Out of the blue haha
Well, this seems like a good time to repeat my request from last time - Thrawn vs. Anakin and Obi-wan together (as strategists, not fighters). I feel like their combination of aggression and caution, innovation and deception would be enough to at least make him work for it.
Thrawn would have quite an issue on his hands. He wins because he knows his enemy, and he knows what they’re going to do. But he’s never fought old Jedi before, and their unorthodox tactics and especially Anakin’s tendency to make everything up as he goes, he will have a very hard time countering them.
Anakin would win cause the force, I don't think thrawn would have any asset at his disposal to take out Anakin if hes in a fighter and enraged,Anakin could just blow up the bridge hell and if that does not work he can land on the ship and just fight his way through the ship destroying everything no """force"" needed, he has such high pain tolerance in a prolonged fight with thrawn Anakin would prob win
That's why I said that I want them compared as strategists, not physical combatants. Anakin and Obi-wan can cause plenty of trouble with just their plans and orders. No lightsabers required.
well if the strategy is "ill come up with something" that's pretty hard to counter
Thrawn. As others said, it's a no-contest with Thrawn around.
I see Trench, he is best. I see Thrawn, I think,” WTF IS THIS QUESTION!?!”
Oh my this list ist exactly how i would done it REALY nice Video
Thrawn, didn't even need to watch this to know that
Thrawn for President 2020!!!
Dilly!!! Dilly!!!
Finally a good legends channel!!!
I agree. Great video. Thanks
