it was part of the leaks that were all confirmed in the previous episodes. They're called Night Troopers, same thing as Marrok was. Also C3P0 is in the next episode.
I feel like the villains in the show are way more appealing or interesting. I’m disappointed that most of them will probably be killed off next week. Ray fucking carried this shit.
what's the point of casting Wes Chatham if you're going to hide his face and completely warble his voice?
It's like paying Vin Diesel for Groot, nobody would even know if we didn't see his name in the credits
It's not 10/10 because the overall helmet shape belongs to the nu-troopers. It doesn't make sense because of the setting and the other troopers he's with, and of course doesn't look as good as if it instead used the original helmet as a base.
That being said it's still great and among the best trooper armor in the franchise.

This is what First Order should've been. Crazy cultish fanatics with run down equipment doing suicide bombing missions. Doesn't fit Thrawn's style at all.
>Doesn't fit Thrawn's style at all.
It makes sense they would worship Thrawn as a God if it's true they keep getting resurrected by the Nightsisters. After 10 years in exile, Thrawn is the only reason they survived.
The star whales migrate to Peridea to die, and Peridea is the homeworld of the Nightsisters, so because of Dave Filoni's writing Thrawn and Ezra just so happened to be taken to the Nightsisters. Thrawn must made a deal with them and maybe helped him get resources at nearby planets.
They have an entire galaxy to themselves and a giant space ship. It's not like they had to stay on one planet. They didn't have to set up shop on some wasteland planet.
How do you know there isn't even freakier shit out there.
If Disney had balls they'd never go back to the original Galaxy. They'd dump these dudes there permanently and try something new.
Imagine one planet over if there's a Coruscant equivalent where they could have just hopped off the ship, gotten repairs, gotten a bite to eat at a Dex's Diner, and maybe even just fucked off and retired altogether.

It's heavily implied, and I think will be confirmed at some point, that this whole sector of space is a wasteland. And no hyperdrive = no capability to even move to a different system.
It feels like they didn't really think about the post-ROTJ empire until Mando was being written and it became obvious that imperial troops would kind of go to shit without centralised control
They really should have done all these dumb shows first to get the style right and then done the ST
If the Dathomiri can just resurrect anyone no problem why the fuck is Padme or Palpatine even an issue in the PT? What kind of Filoni asspulling is this?
Ya seems like filoni bs to me. Reminds me of Geonosis' fate in Rebels. If the empire could wipe put an entire race of beings already why did they need the death star?
>Be Thrawn >Smartest military leader in the entire universe >Someone loses Ezra after they both arrive in the new galaxy on the same ship >Can't find him for 10 years >Let's his enemies (Sabine) go to find Ezra >She finds him in 10 minutes
Is Filoni the biggest retard writer ever or is Thrawn playing 4D chess?
He could've simply threatened the crab people to force Ezra to surrender, like he literally just did before they got taken. Or just have the witches use magic to find him, they can make phone calls to another galaxy for fucks sake.
??? There are many crab people and they're hard to find, Thrawn himself mentioned how he was losing men to the wasteland, going around and razing crab towns isn't a sustainable strategy if Ezra just keeps in the dark. Too risky to assume that Ezra will throw down for some random shrimp people, or that his forces would be strong enough to catch Ezra and/or kill him.
He could've simply threatened the crab people to force Ezra to surrender, like he literally just did before they got taken. Or just have the witches use magic to find him, they can make phone calls to another galaxy for fucks sake.
I think there will be flashbacks showing what happened. Thrawn and Ezra must have been forced to work together when they first got there, maybe parted ways after years of fighting the Peridean bandit guys. Pretty sure Thrawn doesn't really wanna kill Sabine or Ezra and just wants to leave with them left behind preferably.
If I remember correctly the last time you see them powerful Jedi Ezra has control of space whales and has completely captured Thrawn who has nobody left defending him. So it's more like Ezra lost Thrawn and allowed him to build up his forces again.
He's been stranded in a distance galaxy for 10-15 years
His Star Destroy is filled with holes and missing most of it's engines
His storm troopers are filthy, beat to shit and patched together
>Vanto displayed signs of non-platonic feelings for Vah'nya, but he did not pursue these as he did not want to find out what punishment there might be for "fraternizing" with comrades in the Expansionary Defense Fleet.
ACK yourself.
If these guys are all just ghosts in armor like that Marrok guy I don't think I'm going to be a fan of it. They all seem so out of place for Thrawn. I wouldn't expect his troops to be so feral under his leadership.
Maybe he made a deal with Ezra. Maybe Ezra literally killed all the crew and he felt bad so he used the force or whatever (I know he has a connection with the nightsisters anyway via Maul) and he introduced them to Thrawn if he could go free. Thrawn is never one to waste resources after all.
According to canon material, Palpatine was only dead for a few seconds then jumped into a new clone body. So he is sitting AFK in a clone body that degrades over time for decades until TROS. I could see Filoni retconning book stuff since he fucking despises comics and books for some reason.
I would've too, I'd hesitate for a book but a comic? In 2023? An American comic book? I wouldn't give a fuck and if honest no one here would. Especially if it was a character you yourself made and wrote for years and you wanted to do something else with him yourself. Probably not even 1,000 people were even aware of that comic book. Comics are dead as fuck.

That may be, but realistically one understands that comics are bottom of the totem pole, and if they think they can do something else later, no one sensible will be stopped by some miniscule comic run from years prior. The EU had levels to its canon for this reason partially, too many writers wanting and being given free rein trying to write something in the same time frame.

Are you sure? If he already had a clone body set for him by the time of rotj, then what was all that talk about cloning midicholrians and project necromancer in the mandalorian? Seems like his clone body in tros could use the force well
The clone body was constantly replaced. His first one couldn't even use the force, his "son" was spawned in one of the many attempts to make a force sensitive clone. He could be on his 1000th body by the time of TROS

I guess that makes sense. Is that what he meant when he said he'd died many times before? Did he use the force to control snoke?

Snoke was a strandcast test tube baby from Palp DNA, he didn't directly control him but he had his own memories and didn't remember being created. It's a shame 99% of the story in TROS is in a book.
Super powerful space navy? Didn't he have one broken down ship with only a few working engines?
There must be hundreds of Empire generals that dies we never heard about
Wouldn't surprise me at all if they were intentionally waiting to see the overall success of the show before making that decision. They have to know by now that those movies are fucking poison.
When are filmmakers going to be brave enough to ask and answer seriously questions of realism? There is a legitimate concern about when where and how Thrawn masturbated and pooped.
Its been 10 years since I read a shitpost here about Snowpiercer and someone responding to the inquiry about where they shit on the train with the question did the person asking assume Han shit in the cargo bay because we never see his shitter and I've never forgotten it. Whatever anon wrote that, I still laugh at it.
Why is everyone assuming Thrawn even wanted to find Ezra? A decade of struggling to find resources I doubt Thrawn cared about a single arab living with turtles. It's not like the war was relevant in the other galaxy.
Different context though. Thrawn knew there was no way back to the main galaxy, after years of being there why would he even bother killing Ezra? He wasn't even that loyal to the Empire outside of the Chiss, it wouldn't make sense for him to hunt down Ezra and kill him for no reason. When he lets Sabine go he probably is just hoping to get rid of them and the two dark jedi leaving them stranded there to tie up any loose threads.
the dathomirii empire destroyed most of their galaxy with the dark side of the force 'magic', their planet is one of the few that is left that is still alive
the night sisters extend their lifespans by sucking the life / force out of living creatures, and likely did it to entire planets in the past
why did they make thrawn look like a playmobil version of himself.
are they all utterly inept at casting, or is it fully intentional to make every man look misshapen and weak not only in body but in the character he exudes.
thrawn in comics/games resonates power in his look, stance, faxe.
What's the point of those red markings on their armor?
nightsister wrappings, they're undead.
You’re a loser.
Is that really it? So, they're all zombies? I must've missed that part.

Welp, I guess that works.

New action figures you can buy using the regular storm trooper molds.
I hope Lego doesn't skimp on the arm prints.
because it's like totally cool? just think of the MERCHANDISING

Because everything needs to be like clone wars now to keep zoomers happy
Will Thrawn create the New Order?
I feel like the villains in the show are way more appealing or interesting. I’m disappointed that most of them will probably be killed off next week. Ray fucking carried this shit.
I feel the whole fanatical aspect is kind of tired. You could literally use it to explain anything you want. Not very interesting imo
Well you already have their polar opposites, they're the retardedly apathetic republic

Ahsoka ranges from trash to somewhat decent but the design on this guy is 10/10.
10/10 on reddit, yeah
why is the design 10/10?
Kintsugi is very cool
He looks like a PS2 character
Sounds like a compliment
Incline
A big factor for me is that its not just tie fighters vs xwings again. They have their own aesthetic.
Why does he wear the mask?
It's not 10/10 because the overall helmet shape belongs to the nu-troopers. It doesn't make sense because of the setting and the other troopers he's with, and of course doesn't look as good as if it instead used the original helmet as a base.

>overall helmet shape belongs to the nu-troopers
Thanks for noticing. I don't mind having Thrawn having stuff that was in development and was not properly procured.
Maybe I wouldn't mind if the nu-trooper helmet didn't look like a human iphone.
WOAH AMOS IN IN THIS SHIT

How did the nightsisters find thawn? How was thrawn's ship able to remain powered after all those years?
The star whales migrate to Peridea to die, and Peridea is the homeworld of the Nightsisters, so because of Dave Filoni's writing Thrawn and Ezra just so happened to be taken to the Nightsisters. Thrawn must made a deal with them and maybe helped him get resources at nearby planets.
Thanks for the info. Those are quite the convenient circustances.
They have an entire galaxy to themselves and a giant space ship. It's not like they had to stay on one planet. They didn't have to set up shop on some wasteland planet.
I think their hyperdrive died.
every planet in disney wars is a grey wasteland

What do they eat and how do they fuel their 10 year old air craft carrier?
Did you see their ship's engines? And you think it could jump to hyperspace?
How much meth did you take today?
It's heavily implied, and I think will be confirmed at some point, that this whole sector of space is a wasteland. And no hyperdrive = no capability to even move to a different system.

To fuck 4 btches at once
What did he eat?
Did Ezra force feed him?
What was he thinking here?
>First person questioning his word after having 10 years of night troopers sucking his dick and worshipping him
He wanted to leave her to rot on that planet right there and then.
So this guy is totally gonna be Eli Vanto right?
No, it's going to be Amos Burton
No way Eli would leave his work with Chiss dicky.
They other guy was a red herring, THIS is Statkiller
Eli Vanto was Homosexual and was in Love with Thrawn
You wish fujo

ACK yourself.
We're renaming the Empire to the Xpire
am i supposed to be scared and intimidated by a single star destroyer with a couple dudes in busted up armor and uniforms?
in that last piece of shit star wars movie there were like thousands of star destroyers on that one retard sith planet.
If these guys are all just ghosts in armor like that Marrok guy I don't think I'm going to be a fan of it. They all seem so out of place for Thrawn. I wouldn't expect his troops to be so feral under his leadership.

This show would have 30% more viewership if it was called Star Wars: Exiles instead

the sequels are still 20 something years out from this show. Thrawn is gonna die in Filoni's movie.
Killed by baby yoda.
I bet the Nightsisters resurrect Sheev in the movie.
According to canon material, Palpatine was only dead for a few seconds then jumped into a new clone body. So he is sitting AFK in a clone body that degrades over time for decades until TROS. I could see Filoni retconning book stuff since he fucking despises comics and books for some reason.

Ambiguois setups they could drop or continue dependent upon what they felt like doing later, either forgotten about or simply ignored later.

Snoke being Rey's Uncle is hilarious because It's canon but never stated or mentioned once in the trilogy.
Why is everyone assuming Thrawn even wanted to find Ezra? A decade of struggling to find resources I doubt Thrawn cared about a single arab living with turtles. It's not like the war was relevant in the other galaxy.
Because he ordered baylan and his apprentice to kill him and Sabine if the two ever found each other.
