#plus y'know#you're wrong#of all the things ahsoka gets wrong#thrawn's characterization ain't one of them#indeed#its one of the only things it gets definitively right#it continues his characterization from Rebels#building on where he was at the end of that show#also “not matching my fanon/headcanon”#is not getting his characterization wrong

Of course they mean "It's not as sympathetic a portrayal as the one in the New Canon Thrawn books!" to which I say, good, all that backstory and supposed noble intentions is irrelevant anyway, doesn't excuse anything he's done in canon and should not affect how other characters in the narrative perceive him.

People are still complaining about ahsoka "mischaracterizing" thrawn?

#i do wish a little bit of lip-service would have been paid to his motives #if only to halt the complaints that he's a flat one-dimensional villain #but people wanted him to peace out and faff off back home scott free or be somehow working to save the galaxy and guys...#that was never going to be the story #that was never going to be canon #he and ezra were never going to be friends #your perfect little fanfiction fantasies of him getting to just go 'oh well that didn't work' and go home without consequences #was never going to be reality #dunking on the blue bastard #ahsoka show #spoilers #star wars #star wars rebels #grand admiral thrawn
