This tells you that even Thrawn had a better view on friendship than most characters I have seen. People can learn so much from this character.

[tsarfox]

It's actually pretty touching to see that someone who comes off as cold and distant at almost all times has an extremely accurate and mature view of friendship. Although that's hardly surprising coming from Thrawn.

Thrawn is such a deep and wise charachter.

[sir.mannington]

And he's supposed to be the villain. Man I really dig Thrawn.

[flower_girl]

"good day lieutenant"
is all he said to eli after he came back from unknown regions. meeting each other after aa year so...

[mrshadow]

The Emperor legit pointed at him and said "Send that guy into deep space because he's the only guy I can trust not to fuck everything with the Yuzhan Vong up" and without Thrawn to hold everything together the rest of the Empire just fell apart.

[ajra]

If the Empire had more officers like Thrawn instead of backstabbing opportunists and incompetent bureaucrats, it would've won the GCW.

When Thrawn has a more healthy outlook of friendship than the Jedi order

[sbusutton]

It's so heartwarming to know that someone like Thrawn continues to think of Eli Vanto fondly. In a later book, he notes that Ezra Bridger vaguely reminds him of Eli in both appearance and personality

I feel like Zahn left this bit for fans of Legends.

"If one is remembered by a friend, they are never truly gone." Chills. Thrawn is a master of philosophy.

[garrettously]

Wow....this was actually kind of profound.

Thrawn is such a compelling antagonist. Not because he’s evil for one reason or another. But because he’s smart. Wise, and very insightful. He doesn’t talk about things he knows nothing about. And what he doesn’t know he seeks to understand intimately so he won’t be caught off guard.
His view on friendship is very well developed. And it prepares him for the day he might encounter someone he could consider a true friend. But that doesn’t mean he will be looking out of a window and waste time wishing he had one. He is focussed and aspires to reach the pinnacle of his ability to achieve his goals. Despite what other might think of him.
Thrawn’s a character you could only wish was on your side. But then the protagonists would never encounter such a formidable adversary to overcome.

This complexity is why Thrawn is my favourite Star Wars character. He's cool, calm, and collected, a total badass. He's also smart, insightful, and holds a mature, well reasoned outlook on many things, such as the nature of friendship.

So many Star Wars characters are barely two-dimensional. Palpatine is basically a smarter Scooby Doo villain. Vader was a tool. Obi-Wan was interesting at times, but too dogmatic to the immoral Jedi Code to ever be truly relatable.

But Thrawn? Where other characters struggle to be two-dimensional, he's an entire dodecehedron.

[Blitzwing-neru]

God I love the canon Thrawn Trilogy as much as the original Thrawn trilogy.

The Thrawn and Eli Vanto dynamic from the first was the best and most touching!

[NickJohnCoop]

There were a very few people that Thrawn would have considered friends but there were a few. I get the feeling when we see him in live action Ezra will have been turned into one. Thrawn is just that magnetic

[Drbb]

Not going to lie Thrawn is such a great character. I've always wondered what would happen if he was with the rebellion.

[princessirulancorrino]

My favorite quote from the book. And it’s vey touching and beautiful knowing that Eli is reading this from Thrawn’s diary. Thrawn left his diary to Eli, he left his memories, his advice and a testament of true friendship knowing that Eli is going to be working with the Chiss and they’re going separate ways. One of the best true friendships in the Star Wars Universe

[samuraishinobi]

"For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone."

[tylerortega]

This a surprisingly beautiful message from a character who seems so cold-hearted.
