crack ways to introduce thrawn on the ahsoka show that i wrote on my notes app that would anger thrawn's YT comment stans but still maintain the integrity of the character: 1) long solemn shot of space like the opening of any SW movie. suddenly the chimaera jumps out of hyperspace, smoking & barely holding together at the seams. someone screeching "--and stay OUT!" as an officer bats a tentacle out the broken windshield with a broom. alarms going off everywhere, smoke everywhere. everybody is hanging onto something for dear life, white-knuckled. from under the viewport console thrawn's voice comes like "are you CERTAIN that was the LAST hyperspace jump?!!" @ ezra. somewhere on the ceiling ezra is like "yeah!!! i'm positive!!!" next second all lights go off and some equipment somewhere falls loudly in the awkward silence. somebody (hammerly probably) is going "alright, who's not dead? sound off!" 2) funky SW pop music to a distant street shot of two figures (one smol, one tall) getting thrown out of a seedy bar, tall one shouting that "IT WASN'T CHEATING IT WAS STRATEGY!!" 3) a local museum on some distant out rim planet with a really bored receptionist sitting at a tiny counter; there's like 3 dusty exhibits with some sad local trinkets. it's like 3 pm and there's been maybe one visitor who stayed for 5 mins. receptionist looks up at a commotion as 2 disheveled strangers approach, one dragging the other saying "this could be VALUABLE INFORMATION" and the other insisting that "we came for supplies we have no FOOD!" 4) ahsoka sees ezra on a street like a homeless person holding a sign that says "MIND READING FOR 5 CREDITS!" like. a jedi and somebody who has sherlock deductive abilities? if they turned to petty chaos they could rival all other fortune-tellers. 5) shot of a hiking/refugee camp built out of spare ship parts. yes the rest of the crew has all survived and they've built a camp. somewhere, thrawn is explaining water filtration but everyone wants to watch ezra fly like aang. 6) long shot of a beautiful wilderness on some SW planet. peacefulness broken by distant screaming and crashing undergrowth as our protagonists flee whatever creature they've rashly attempted to hunt. thrawn's cursing is sliding more and more back to cheunh. (inspo credit: all the artists who'd drawn this already lol) 7) opening shot of admiral ar'alani's flagship in chiss space. some innocent officer onboard furrows their eyebrows in confusion as there's a beeping. "admiral we're receiving an urgent transmission from an Imperial source--" "admiral, we're detecting several masses approaching from hyperspace--!" then like. the ENTIRE 7TH FLEET AS A BURNING DUMSTER FIRE MESS DRAGGED BY THE WHOLE HERD OF SPACE WHALES jumps out of hyperspace all around and the steadfast has to do immediate evasive maneuvers. somewhere in all this the transmission comes through and it's just like "chiss space, so this is thrawn--" the chimaera nearly collides with the steadfast and only serious braking and screaming on both sides results in the ships only lightly banging bumpers. still, there's now a dent on the steadfast. scream of rage from the bridge of the steadfast: "MITTH'RAW'NURUODO!"
