I think the thing that made Thrawn so compelling is that he strays from the typical, mystical villain of the star wars stories. He is Moriatry with no Sherlock, so everyone has to pull all then know together to defeat him. It makes him far more of a threat than someone who has power that you know the hero will eventually be able to attain and counter.

he is not written smart, he is written all-knowing. thats why i think he is TOTALLY overrated! saying "Species X cannot counter Manuever Y" does not make a character smart, it's just writing lore the way it makes him LOOK smart. what smart tactics did he exactly use, thats not just lore thats written to his advantage? how can Thrawn guess that someones voice is not actually theirs, but a droid with modulated voice?? with NO hints at all?? never ever did someone assume a voice is actually just a droid, only this one time when it's right!

I haven't read the post-Crucible comics, but from bits and pieces I gather that Thrawn is what galactic society eventually evolves into: a non-force-sensitive meritocracy. Subtle hints are littered throughout Legends, like Daala's push for control over the order, the failure of High Republic pacifism (haven't read yet!), going so far back, as the anti-Force shadow group in SwtOR's imperial agent story, and even the impending everyone-vs-jedi war hinted at at the end of Dawn of the Jedi. The consumer-friendly level of depth characteristic to most Star Wars content leaves little doubt that this is a paraphrase for democracy over aristocracy. Always turns my stomach when someone in real life goes "unite behind me".

Thrawn is a classic character and while the 1st Trilogy is masterful Zahn's further development of Thrawn's character and history reflects a more mature and complex telling. It too bad Disney's having declared the first trilogy "legends." Had that not been done, there might have been a bridge between the earlier work and the latter 2 trilogies because they deserve to be acknowledged and taken into account. The more recent trilogies represent the author's intent just as much as the 1st and the disconnect between Rebels Thrawn and these newer novels just seems to show they mean them to now be "legends." I have found myself trying to make sense of the Thrawn of Rebels and the Thrawn of Zahn's more recent Trilogies. What would account for the "good twin"/ "evil twin" effect. "Good twin" must be from another dimension! It isn't a POV difference. "Evil twin" Thrawn is not as intelligent as "good twin," nor as complex. The later novel, THRAWN, is the result of a more seasoned author. I wish there was not the break in continuity of character between REBELS and the novels, ALLIANCE and TREASON, that might have helped. Nonetheless, brilliant 1st trilogy, and if you have not read it, you are missing out. The recent 2 trilogies are very good but are more grounded and personal, more spy thriller with battles, intrigue, and strategy. More grit and less mythos.

Clearly remember walking into Walden Books at the mall and seeing Heir to the Empire and having a complete flabbergast moment. This was wonderful and I'm so glad Zahn was kept in the look with the whole Asoka and Rebels thing. Too bad this wasn't the source material for the Sequel Trilogy of movies, which fell far short of what makes Star Wars great.

He named the planet Coruscant , but it was already created by Lucas, it was just named with the placeholder “Imperial Planet “. He used a lot of info from the rpg source books, instead of meeting with Lucas constantly.

Ah, how I constantly lamented Thrawn's decision to keep C'baoth alive. That and several other mistakes he made. Still, fantastic books by my favorite sci-fi author.

(British) I'm dyslexic, I left school aged 15 in 1987, in 1995 I went to Create to work the summer season, I was renting a room with some Gordie Lads also working the season, one of the lads called Gary was reading this trilogy, being a first generation Star Wars fan I was frustrated at not being able to read the continuation of the sagas, But over the 8 months we lived in the villa Gary taught me how to read through these books, So aged 23 these 3 novels became the first books I read, Thank You Gary I'll always owe you a big debt of gratitude for helping me out, And That's Why I Love This Story, They Better Keep It To Cannon! Woking This Saga Up Will Earn The Director A Smack In The Mouth At Any London Red Carpet He Attends, Because I'll Be In The Crowd Waiting For My Opportunity To Land One On Him Or Her!

The real ‘Episode VII’.

These 3 books had much better storylines than the current direction.

It would have been so refreshing to see how this would’ve looked on the screen.

Well obviously Dark Force Rising next. As to the characters this book introduced, I'd argue Mara Jade was far more important than Thrawn. She was vital to 40+ more novels. It's just that Disney's horrible Sequels threw Luke Skywalker under the bus so had no need for a character so important to his future journey. I was thrilled to see Thrawn teased in Rebels, I would have lost my mind if Mara Jade was with Luke on Ahch-To.

Mentioned this in another comment, but I want to give it a proper re-read before making a video about it to give it the proper coverage it deserves, so might be a minute before I can get to it. And fair point! I think I kind of consider Thrawn the bigger impact from this book simply because he is used in so much marketing. Which probably just comes from his super iconic look. (and same, I hope they incorporate Mara Jade into the new Canon in some way and give her the respect the character deserves)

This was one of those books you couldn't put down! It literally blew my mind. This book got me hooked on the Expanded Universe. Since then I've bought hundreds of Star Wars books. Both first edition Hardcover novels and the paperbacks. Prequel novels, up to the Return of the Jedi, and to this incredible story and beyond. Now the Disney books? CRAP!!!!! Just like their movies! Sorry but it's true.

this is great! id love it if you did the other books in the trilogy, especially now that they might be diving into a new cannon version of this story with the next starwars shows! i really hope that mara and tallon can make it into new cannon (even if mara wont be able to become lukes wife now that his end game story has already been told). these were easily my favorite starwars novels growing up, and i have always held them equal to the original trillogy and far superior to the prequils and sequels alike. i love that aspects of these stories have become so ingrained into the universe that they are getting pulled into new cannon anyway!

This should have been a film trilogy it was awesome I had the audiobooks.

This is a really well-made video! Thanks for putting so much work into this!

Thrawn went from this truly menacing strategist that was seemingly unstoppable, and never left his chair. That is what made him so scary, his only weapon was his mind, and three star destroyers, and almost destroyed the Republic, something the Empire failed to do at it's height. Then disney took over and made him into some generic cartoon supervillan with the gravitas of a sunday morning cartoon (because he literally became one)

You know what trips me out. Palpatine had access too all that cloning technology and for some reason didn't try cloning padme too further control anakin. What I'm trying too say is yes she is dead, but here is a chance too bring life back into the shell either by creating new memories or as a way of leverage over vader's head. Idk but if he thought his wife was still Alive, vader would be the most feared if not even more so across the galaxy. He probably would've upgraded his suit and would have unlocked more abilities along the road. A nice lil what if for the community too talk about

Always did love this trilogy, will you be covering the other two books as well? Also for more Star Wars lore i think looking into Jaina and Jacen Solo would be great!

Your video was awesome sir! You didn't need to ask for a like or a subscription. I was fully intending on doing it. These books, the lore and the history that Timothy Zahn created as I said below, got me so into the expanded universe. These books became my "films", and I have read them all, and re-read them all multiple times. I've needed to go to Barnes & Noble and reacquire many of my paperbacks due to them being read so many times...lol. Especially this series and all of the Timothy Zahn books. I'm well over 300+ books from this Franchise. The Original creator's vision of just Star Wars, then The Empire Strikes Back, to Return of the Jedi. Then any and all of the ones before, during, and after the Prequels. However, of all of the books, comics, and stories, the Timothy Zahn books are the, in my opinion the best of them all. His take on the Star Wars universe was spot on perfect. The creation of Grand Admiral Thrawn was the most creative, unique, innovative, brutal, yet extremely elegant and accurate with his tactics. He had no issues with sacrificing some ships and men just to get a glimpse of the Commander's tactics, and then knowing who he was and where he came from he was able to deduce exactly how to destroy him. This type of attack was one that was never seen before in any of the Star Wars movies and it honestly was a powerful and brutal way of fighting. I apologize for babbling on, but I truly LOVE the Star Wars Universe, especially the universe before Disney. My opinion is that ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES Disney MADE was to ERASE AND DELETE the Expanded Universe and ERASE EVERY PIECE OF DATA, EVERY BOOK, EVERY GRAPHIC NOVEL, AND EVERY SINGLE CREATION FROM THE STAR WARS FRANCHISE!! That not only angered me and quite a few of the fans, but they erased so many incredibly well written stories! Stories that they could have utilized, but Disney DIDN'T WANT TO PAY ANYONE ROYALTIES!!?!! WTH?!?!? Thankfully Dave Filoni, George Lucas' Heir to the Empire was still there. And THANKFULLY he was able to get them to ease up on their arrogance. OR Disney saw that Kathleen Kennedy's "vision" was pathetically inept, idiotic, and it completely tried to destroy everything that George Lucas created! Look at the FIRST LINE in the Disney trilogy. The Farce Awakens, "This will begin to make things RIGHT!" Who ever said it was wrong to begin with? It wasn't bad until Kathleen Kennedy took over and implemented her Farce is Female agenda. It wasn't just that. There have been MANY MANY DIFFERENT AMAZING FEMALE Characters in Star Wars. From Princess Leia, her "Mom" Queen Amidala, Senator Mon Mothma, Mara Jade, and many of the Jedi in the Prequels were women. Shaak-Ti, Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, and again many others I can't remember, but my point is George Lucas NEVER EVER thought Star Wars was a Boy's Club. And again one of the STRONGEST characters he created was Princess👸Leia Organa. George Lucas should have NEVER sold Star Wars to Disney! They have literally destroyed everything that George Lucas created. And that is the biggest problem with Disney. Their ARROGANCE. For Kathleen Kennedy to think that she knew better than the Man who CREATED this Universe? For the Disney executives to think that THEY could make better movies than the man who again CREATED THIS VAST AND EXPANSIVE UNIVERSE? Well? Toys and games are at an ALL-TIME LOW! There are more Action Figures in landfills than there are in kids houses. Disney ➕ is, well it stinks. If it wasn't for the series and shows that Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau created, I wouldn't careless about Disney ➕!

Zahn didn't create Coruscant, he just named it.

These were awesome books , I think I read all 3 in like 9 days , A long time ago in a Prison not to far away...😂

Jor-us Sa-Bai-Oth good illistration of the book, i've listened to nearly all the thrawn books by timmothy zahn while i am at work to help kill time and the entire series by him is amazing. but, what many are talking about "Heir to the Empire" is Princess leia from the Nogri. i strongly urge everyone to read or listen to the books about thrawn. and now that all of what timmothy wrote will be cannon, we will have alot of great star wars content that is only about the skywalker family, its a entire universe!

Great video! Watched it twice. Just got a new sub. Keep up the good work. Now I'm off to watch the rest of your videos.

Zahn's original Heir to the Empire is the only cannon for me.

George Lucas did sell to Disney but mess up. I just hope he shouldn't sell to no one but he did. There is must be something to redo since I really A Force Awakening, The Last Jedi, and the Rise of Skywalker. Those stories don't make any sense to me at all when there is no politics, diplomatic, and tactical warfare. These three episodes are a show for kids. Every star wars fan is no kid and they hated it especially A Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker from the last 3 years, This caused everybody to break hearts about star wars films. The Truth About Star Wars is for all ages, not for kids only. Every fans demanded Lucasfilm to redo the sequel trilogy back to the heir of the empire such as episode I or VI.

Still blows my mind that you don’t utilize a pre established story and its lore when making new movies. Disney is such a failure

They very clearly ripped off and watered down jacen solo as Kylo and that’s what pisses me off more than anything lol like why just why bruh

Legends Extended Universe will always be canon to me. So much more compelling and exciting stores and characters for thirty years before the big mouse wipe all that away. the sequel pales in comparison to even the thrawn trilogy.

I never knew Thrawn from the old media. I only got into star wars when the new Clone Wars series came out. I liked it so much I went back and watched the original Clone Wars cartoon network series. Then Rebels. It was all so great.

Wow dude great video. Hope you do the whole trilogy. 👍

Currently re-reading Dark Force Rising so I can give it this treatment ;) Thrawn getting namedropped in the Mandalorian made me want to get back into these!

this is about to go "mainstream" ☆ great video ☆

If we’re lucky and supportive, I think Filoni’s upcoming movie “Heir to the Empire” could be made into a trilogy and by God that WILL BE our new sequel trilogy.

It’s funny that years later Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker get married and have a son.

Its so strange seeing Pellaeon without his mustache.

lot better than the disney crap

This is the best of Star Wars

This is the true ST. Disney’s ST is bad fan fiction.

In my opinion the only one that SHOULD be called the sequel trilogy

Great work. Thank you, I'm subscribed now

Still remember the disappointment I felt when I learned THIS was gonna be shitcanned.

Thanks. Gr8 work.

Making this tonight, thanks Boris.

This is the true sequel trilogy here. I refuse to acknowledge Disney's abysmal versions.

God this would have been such a perfect compliment to the prequel trilogy too. It's all about how a democracy falls, this one would be how one comes together and protects itself. Would've been a great thematic bow. Instead? Palatine...again 🙄

In light of Thrawns return to the main galaxy per the end of Ahsoka, which is currently taking place around 9BBY, with a few tweaks in the story they could STILL make this trilogy into movies. Just a few details are required to be altered in order to fit into current canon.

It is a shame that Lucas decided to do a prequel trilogy instead of continuing on where RotJ left off. He probably would've made a sequel trilogy had it not been for the negative reactions he received from the prequel films. Most of the people who dislike the Disney Star Wars content seem to have forgotten that the negativity he received by the fanbase in the wake of the prequels affected him on a personal level. It was partly the reason why he stopped making Star Wars movies and eventually approached Disney to sell the franchise.

The art is really cool

The books and comics ARE the canon, not what Disney has done, and you'll never talk me down from it.

Then came dark empire and the yuuzhan vong. Truly the best shit ever
