What if Thrawn Joined the Rebel Alliance? | Star Wars Legends

What if Thrawn joined the Rebel Alliance? We'll discuss the possibilities on today's Star Wars lore video!

On today's Star Wars Legends lore video, I put forward my theory on what would happen if Grand Admiral Thrawn joined left the Empire and joined the Rebel Alliance. Would the galaxy's most famous chiss win the Galactic Civil War for the Rebels, or would he be more of a burden?

With Thrawn the rebels wouldn't have needed as much plot armor.

The most competent military commander in Star Wars teamed up with the luckiest military force in Star Wars...

That's scary.

[Jungoguy]

Lord Vader: Master, one of our best officers has defected to the Rebellion.
Sidious: it is of no consequence. The loss of a single officer will not set us back.
Lord Vader: it was Thrawn.
Sidious: Oh. Well, we’re screwed.

The thing about the subordinate that Thrawn executed. While the person did fail him, the reason he was executed was because said subordinate tried to place blame on someone below him.

Later on, someone else had a very similar failure, but he fessed up, explained what he was trying to do and when the failure ultimately occurred, and instead of being executed, he was promoted by Thrawn on the spot.

Person 1: "All hail the emp-"

Person 2: "Thrawn joined the rebels."

Person 1: "The Empire is a trash heap go rebels!"

Thrawn: "joins rebels
Star wars: well this is the end of the entire series, thanks for watching

If Thrawn joined the Rebels? Oh god... Someone call Trench. He's our only hope.

If Thrawn had joined the Rebellion none of the new trilogy would have happen. The rebels would have finally had a competent leader.

"hey I think thrawns alive again"
*New Republic shits itself*

[guru]

Well the Empire would get whooped in all possible ways

[llabesab]

Imagine Thrawn vs the cannon new republic/resistance. Would have been an absolute joke!

[jolan]

Eckhartsladder: What If Thrawn joined the Rebbelion?

Me: I’ve been Looking forward to this.

[Jack-ckvi]

The rebels would have become the new republic much quicker and I believe that the first order would have been a little problem if thrawn was still with them 30 years later

[MarsTheDoomer]

I honestly think they should make a movie about Thrawn, but I feel that Disney would ruin his character

[articusramos]

Thrawn joining the Rebellion. A nightmare to all Imperials... think of how many officers in the Empire would feel if they hear Thrawn's name or voice...it would already caused a stir in the Empire and maybe cause them to lose moral. If a grand Admarial defected, then it shows some weakness in the Empire.

Now this is a video I’ve been waiting for for a long... long time...

Although I must admire what the rebels are fighting for, the galaxy they fought for wouldn’t have been strong enough to fight the challenges it would face.

It's been interesting watching your channel evolve for the past year

Thrawn's one weakness I noticed in the Trawn Trilogy is a product of his strengths. He makes extremely accurate and precise deductions based on very limited information. However, in the very rare instance where he guesses wrong, probably due to missing info, that error has a tendancy to be compounded in later deductions without him realizing it.
