#Star Wars Abaloth

[proffesionalalpaca]

Who or what is this greater evil Thrawn and the Witches are running from?

My guess:

Abaloth: The Mother of the Mortis Gods and the embodiment of chaos.

A ruiner of galaxies and a being whose sole desire is the entropy of all life the universe as well as it’s devolution into chaos.

She is also known to cause a mental condition called ‘Force Psychosis’ in force users, wherein they experience intermittent episodes of intense paranoia and fall under the delusion that everyone around them has been replaced with imposters (like in Capgras syndrome). The only other people that are recognised as real/authentic by afflicted individuals are others under the same delusion.

The reaction to this altered state usually results in the afflicted person attempting to kill ‘the imposters’ and the episode ending in returned mental clarity as well as full remembrance of one’s actions during that time, the episodes become more and more frequent until it becomes permanent.

It only takes encountering or witnessing her once to inflict the condition, with the potential to lay dormant for years and appearing randomly even decades later.

Which if this is true in the new canon and Abaloth is indeed this mysteriously terrifying force, makes me very worried for Ezra if he has become afflicted and Sabine merely caught him on a ‘good day’.

Previous theory expansion/connection: Thrawn and Ezra were at one point allies.

To tie it in; if my other theory that Thrawn and Ezra were at one point on good terms as allies during their exile, this may have been the cause for their separation. Thrawn believing Ezra was no longer stable or safe enough to return to their Galaxy, hence why he doesn’t want to risk Ezra being left behind alive as he could find a way to return with this being of certain death following right behind him.

One of the things I miss most about pre Disney Star wars was how uneven the universe was.

Being in the galaxy far far away, you were just as likely to find cosmic horrors like abaloth And the twisted creations of the ancient sith as you were to find some sentient teddy bears adventuring on the weeping mountain and ducking space witches. Encounter Deep philosophical musings from characters like Kreia and Thrawn (musings that have influenced me to this day) as you were action packed popcorn animation like tarikovsky's 2003 clone wars. Read blood soaked tales of revenge and redemption like crimson empire and then Oceans 11 style heists like Honor Among Thieves. And experience pieces like Visionaries, which were in large part simply art for the sake of art.

It had something for everybody, and everybody knew just enough to get started, everyone was welcome.

And the best part? Somehow by some absolute miracle of collaboration, crying mountains and space witches, valiant Droid rebellions, down to earth characters like the empire's hand mara jade, silent bloodthirsty assassins like Darth maul, sith technoviruses, cocky smugglers, zany robots like the great heap and extra galactic biological abominations managed to coexist perfectly. Very few things were ever retconned, and I never once doubted that this was all happening in the same universe.

no they're both that kinda wish fulfillment character which is fine in media thats kinda what luke was though luke was more of the everyman character.

True. But at least Rey has struggles and gets shit wrong. Starkiller what’s his face might as well be indestructible till it’s time for him to sacrifice himself against the strongest guy in star wars... Not counting all those insane legends characters like Abaloth
