I still laugh when they refer to Han as "Lady Vader's consort."

“What the Noghri assassins of Honoghr lack in numbers, they make up for in skill.”

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Imagine making a statue of Darth Vader, putting it in on the high ground and people are on their knees praying

When I was 7 I read in a Star Wars encyclopedia that the Tusken Raiders worshipped Anakin (Darth Vader) like an evil god after he massacred the Tusken Raider camp in episode 2. The word got out about the massacre and then al the Tusken Raiders started to believe he was an evil spirit like the Boogeyman.

Along with Mara Jade these one were one of the best things to come out of the Thrawn trilogy. Honestly the deserve more attention.

"They called Leia Lady Vader."
Oh I'm sure Leia would have LOVED that.

[SchneeflockeMonsoon]

Thrawn Triology: Makes Nohgri dangerous and awesome, often described as cat-like in their voices and even some of their appearances.

Star Wars Rebels: How can we ruin this? How about... ALL of it?

[Greendyes_E]

You always hear that the people from Alderaan where treated badly.

I've never hear them complain tho 🤔

"Many races have been treated poorly by the Empire"

Geonosians: "We should have never made this deal!"

Asides from the end of Return of the Jedi, has Anakin’s force ghost ever been seen again in Legends? I know he appeared in front of Leia once begging for forgiveness but she rejected him, so he never appeared in front of her again. #askeck

The Noghri bare Leia, and I assume Luke, no ill-will as they refer to them as the Children of Vader even if they revile Darth Vader. The rest of the galaxy could have used this kind of willingness to actual know these two and others.

How did the people of the CIS react to Dooku's Death?

[vitorkennedy]

I have always liked the Noghri for their impressive skills in both murder and combat as seen in comics and playing EaW. It's a shame the way Ruhk was represented in rebels.

[TheArklyte]

There must be a joke about Star Wars fans being that race...

[AnonSeacat]

A good example of Thrawn not being infallible (a large portion of the fanbase seems to think he is for whatever reason). Thrawn completely overlooked how the noghri's devotion to Vader would affect them even while sending them on missions to capture Leia and Luke. Of course, to be fair to Thrawn here, I'm not quite sure how well-known it was that the two were Vader's children by that point in time (Mara Jade didn't seem to know until a noghri told her part-way through the last book), though you'd think a man of Thrawn's cunning and resourcefulness might've figured it out. Still, even putting the matter of Vader aside, Thrawn continued the Empire's deception of the noghri about the state of their world in order to control them, which ultimately led to his assassination.

do you mean the human race? cause all i see in my friends basement is a shrine

[techticianlarsproductions]

Their height was just compressed into raw skill

[GanonGhidorah]

I actually thought it was going to be a good idea if Snoke was a member of one of the Alien Races that viewed Vader as a god-like being. That would explain not only why he initially fed Kylo's obsession with his grandfather, but also why he needed him as Vader's latest descendant.

as soon as i saw the title i knew who it was about lol
