I understand that when making expensive shows/movies they can't let the EU material limit them. So I honestly don't mind if the screen version is different from the books.

But what frustrates me about what they are doing with Thrawn is simply the waste of potential. Thrawn as morally grey is objectively more interesting than Thrawn as (yet another) flat Star Wars villain. So far everything we've seen of Thrawn in cartoons and live action could've been just as well done by any other generic Imperial bad guy. Thrawn has the potential to be a truly iconic cinematic (anti-)villain. When he debuted in live action it should've been a moment that got casual fans asking "whoah, who is this guy ?". Thrawn should be a big deal. Frankly I don't see any hype outside people who already knew the character beforehand. They should be taking advantage of the complexity of the character to take Star Wars into more mature direction, away from the endless fall/redemption narrative (which is tedious at this point imo). He deserved to debut on big screen and in a truly epic story. It's just depressing to think how much this franchise constantly fails to live up to it's potential.

nothing

Catapulted back to my blueberry man era. So here's Thrawn modelling for the empire's official military catalogue.

I don't recall there was ever a command baton used in any of the imperial rank standards. But eh, I gave him one just for the extra drip.

There's two things that define Thrawn in the books:

He's a genius.

He's a good commander who's crew is loyal to him out of genuine respect.

In Ahsoka Thrawn is neither of these things. The writing is too dumb to make it convincing that this guy's a master strategist. And he has no positive traits and no figure like Pellaeon/Eli to have a friendly relationship with. So to me the things that make Thrawn interesting as a character are basically entirely missing here. Filoni turned him into just another generic evil Imperial officer, like Moff Gideon or Tarkin, when the whole point was for Thrawn to be a subversion of that archetype.

this line is from The Guardian article trashing Ahsoka and I admit I laughed

The threat that we won't have new shows and movies coming out because of the strikes would hit a little harder if 99.9% of everything coming out wasn't God awful derivative schlock that you watch once and immediately forget.
