Always amuses me (read: exhausts me) when people are surprised and angry when Star Wars creators refer to Thrawn as a villain and act like it’s the end of the world because the creators don’t “get” the character.
#star wars#thrawn#you guys he IS#he's an antagonist#i've read all the books and i love the character but he's still a villain at the end of the day#it's like we aren't all reading the same books and some of you conveniently forget that he literally justifies slavery and tyranny#in the name of 'good'#and that he's 100% okay with continuing oppression in the name of peace#and in the name of protecting his people#but one of the biggest lessons in star wars#spanning SEVERAL CHARACTERS (including thrawn)#is that just because you feel you're doing good doesn't mean you ARE good#thrawn's story is clearly one of moral erosion#he's a complex and interesting character#a complex and interesting VILLAIN#perhaps even something of a tragic villain#but a villain nonetheless#if you're upset that creators refer to him as a villain and you think they don't get the character i have news for you#spoiler: it's you who doesn't get the character
