still thinking about TotE and how much i hate the way filoni plays it fast and loose with canon for no reason other than to forcefully carve out space for his ocs and/or his faves from canon and legends without any regard to their intended roles or their place on the canon timeline :P

#like morgan elsbeth COULD be compelling !!! if not for filoni's inexplicable insistence on tying her arc to thrawn #if you have to lean on another man's character (and disrespect that man's established canon) to make yours interesting #you gotta be doing something wrong #morgan deserves to stand on her own two feet #and i feel like filoni has it in him to craft compelling characters #he got lost in the sauce #morgan elsbeth COULD be interesting and pallaeon COULD HAVE been in that episode without sticking a fork in thrawn (2017)#im not mad that eli or faro werent in the episode im just so annoyed with the execution #we shouldn't have to do mental gymnastics to figure out how pellaeon fits into the new thrawn trilogy #and we shouldn't have to wonder whether any of the characters introduced in that trilogy are still canon or not #its just lazy writing and it makes me madge #terrified for the filoni movie coming out and praying it gets shelfed lmao
