i love thrawn when reading the thrawn books (bit i still haven't finished treason ... ) and then i rewatch rebels and want to Beat The Shit Out Of Him it's always a wild ride

SKSKSK well, don’t worry, loving him and wanting to beat the shit out of him aren’t mutually exclusive

hi i want to hear your thoughts on this: ahsoka trying not to kill the clones when they were attacking her & rex on the star destroyer, vs yoda & obi-wan killing the clones outside the temple when trying to get in. i've seen people argue that bc obi & yoda did that, they never truly cared for the clones & just viewed them as soldiers, not people

[my last ask sent before i was done typing] personally i think ahsoka knew that they weren't themselves, so was trying to save them — meanwhile, obi & yoda just knew the clones turned on them and maybe thought that they willingly betrayed them & so were just acting in self defense? (i'm not entirely sure how the whole mind control & force signature thing works, does it change your force signature or-) 2/2

I heard of that argument before and frankly, that's really nitpicky. Here is the thing, their situations are extreme. Obi-Wan was shot from behind and fell from the cliff by his men then overheard how his men tying to ensure that he really died. Gree was about to shot Yoda if he didn't sense it first and act on it.

It shouldn't be even in question that they are acting in self-defense.

They don't have the luxury to stop and question why their men betray and attack them with how many things are at stake. They have to stop the signal telling Jedi to return so they could prevent more of their family dying lives are literally falling apart, stopping the sith lord that orchestrated their genocide, children live in the temple's creche (which you know when Obi-Wan and Yoda manage to get inside the temple, Obi-Wan's sad remark 'Not even the youngling survives' was they really hoping at least children lives would be spared but no.) and their men who they fought together with were literally won't hesitate shooting them. It was an extreme situation.

and I genuinely don't get why Ahsoka's action somehow means she truly cared. Did people forget before she knows the chip is a thing she literally letting Maul loose as a distraction? Then Maul literally makes a distraction that was literally just, all the same, killing the Clones without regard. That's the consequence of her actions. She put the Clones' lives in his hand. She said she wouldn't be the one who killed them after she found out about the chip but that's just a rationalization of her actions but again it was an extreme situation. Just like Yoda and Obi-wan, I won't hold it to her for making decisions that are not perfect. All of them making the best decision they could come up with the situation on hand.

But this fandom, of course, makes it about moral superiority and invalidating Jedi's care for Clones despite the various evidence. in their blind dislike for Jedi, would do anything to make sure they are always wrong. It doesn't matter for them that there is the context behind the actions if they could use anything to invalidated Jedi, they will. Forget the fact that out of the universe that ROTS was back then in 2005, when the chip is not a thing yet and the clones just mean to kill Jedi.

(Also Force SIgnature is actually a Fanon thing, not canon. They could sense things in the Force and how it feels but the concept of Force Signature itself is Fanon.) Anyway, that take is nothing new and surprising, this fandom never stops finding things to hate on Jedi about anything they could find.

wait is the ahsoka show gonna be live action ahsoka? because ... yeah personally i don't like l.a soka & also what would even be in it 😭 we know so much of her story from apprenticeship to leaving the jedi to siege of mandalore to order 66 & beyond. possibly linking thrawn being space whaled to her looking for him in mando??? idek

YEAH IT IS LIVE ACTION LIKE WHO ASKEDDDD

there were rumors that it would be the 'rebels sequel' so it would be about the search for ezra and like... it ain't her story. they are so wrong for this

hi!! i'm sorry if this is annoying — what font did you use in your "though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last" gifset? https://padawanahsoka.tumblr.com/post/634255844013391872/prequelsnet-mission-02-favorite-quotes-though

hi!! the font is called made sunflower

how donyou feel abt thrawn characterisation in rebels vs the trilogy? idk it's just .... very different 🧍‍♀️

haha WELL ummm i think i'm one of the few people who aren't bothered by it at all?

they kind of do feel like different versions of thrawn to me, but i'm delighted by both characterizations, so i'm absolutely fine with it. i don't think tim actually realized how sympathetic he made him in the new canon novels?

i love the headcanon (or even fanon, idk) that once both eli and karyn are gone from the chimaera, plus ar'alani's departure, PLUS the emperor pretty much outright threatening him before thrawn faced ezra & co. on lothal, his self-control is just shot to hell so he does things like. fire on civilians and shit. to gain back his control over the rebel situation. it's obviously not an excuse but i do love that explanation a lot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

is eli vanto left handed did i somehow miss this

i mean. the only solid indicator i found in the comics that he’s right-handed is that his blaster hand is his right one—

but that could be easily explained away by saying that he has cross-dominance—a dominant left hand and a dominant right eye (i.e. his brain favors what’s processed with his right eye over the left one)—and he decided to learn handling blasters with his right hand instead of his dominant one, which is, apparently, not that uncommon.

so the way i see it (if i didn't miss anything, of course) canon doesn't contradict someone headcanoning him being left-handed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
