Thrawn: "Do you know the difference between an error and a mistake? Anyone can make an error. But that error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it."

[nathanbarnes]

Rebels: Do something
Thrawn: *"I am already 4 parallel universes ahead of you"*

“I am a warrior, your majesty. A warrior may retreat. He does not flee. He may lie in ambush. He does not hide. He may experience victory or defeat. He does not cease to serve.”
Thrawn

"To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy... art"

[gregorylumban-gaol]

Palpatine can make a galaxy shiver in fear by ruling an Empire but Thrawn can make the galaxy tremble by buying mining equipment on Amazon.

[paulsteinhauser]

He should be treated with respect and he was by the Rebels. An honorable adversary as he would put it.

[macwelch]

Thrawn has my respect as a military leader and strategic genius. If he was Supreme Commander, the Empire would’ve defeated the Rebellion regardless of whether Luke destroyed the Sith or not

Eck: “I know you guys might be getting tired of this, ”

Me: “Of Thrawn? Only a little. This is like your third love letter to him.”

Eck: “But if you still want to donate to the fundraiser for-“

Me: “ *_OH._* Right.”

Interesting hypothetical: Ignoring the how, what if at the start of the Clone Wars Thrawn somehow became the leader of either the CIS or Republic military. So, basically could Thrawn beat Palpatine's manipulations in a direct conflict.

My favorite Rebels character! Timothy Zahn’s books are amazing!

"The time when Thrawn's tactical genius could have done us any good was when? Five years ago? Seven? Ten? What could he possibly do now except bring the New Republic down on us in panic?"- Admiral Pellaeon

"I don't know sir, but that's not what's really bothering you."- Captain Ardiff

" I was with Thrawn for just over a year, I was his senior officer, his student, perhaps even his confidant. Im not sure. The point is that he chose the Chimaera and me when he returned from the Unknown Regions. He didn't just pick us at random, he chose us." - Star Wars Vision of The Future.

I think this novel also shows how Ardiff becomes a confidant in Pellaeon as well as other Imperial staff. This book is great for humanizing certain Imperials.

Galaxy: The Emperor is finally gone! Nobody worse can take his place

*Thrawn has entered the chat*

Galaxy: Crap

[cardinalhistory]

Reading the Thrawn trilogy actually inspired me to start studying military history and command

[UncleMikeDrop]

The Rebels would have been SCREEWED had Thrawn been in Tarkin's position.

[technewsfortechnoobs]

When I first read Heir to the Empire and saw how Thrawn conducted himself, I felt from that moment that there was only one person that could play it in film (and that entire book trilogy SHOULD have been filmed) was Sir Anthony Hopkins. All I could hear in my head was the voice and intellect of Hannibal Lecter. Someone who knew EXACTLY what he was doing at all times, had restraint when needed, and fury when necessary.

[GavinTheGrape]

I’ve always seen thrawn as the Erwin Rommel of Star Wars

[matthewjay]

Chiss are one of my top 5 Star Wars species.

[thegunman]

Also love thrawn so much please do another battle breakdown on him

Luke and Mara screwing up the entire galaxy by killing Thrawn’s clone
