I tried, I really really tried not to soy face when they revealed Thrawn. But it overpowered me. The sight of a book character being on screen overpowered my will, my mouth fell agape and I full on soy faced. I even kicked my feet a little.

Like a thousand YouTube clickbait thumbnails before me, I collapsed under the weight of immense hype.

    Thrawn kinda let himself go I guess. He looked a little more portly than distinguished upon the reveal. Age catches up to us all?

      It’d be funny if in a book later down the line they mention that his gym got busted up by the purgill.

      It’s no Andor, but I’m enjoying it enough. I feel like Thrawn is more mustache-twirling villain than cool and calculating Admiral he was in the books.

        That is definitely my concern too “you’ve doomed your Galaxy” is a bit of a weird line from someone who thinks he’s fighting the good fight against the Grysk.

      I could only get through one episode. The writing and acting were just so 8th grade level. Possibly worse than Kenobi.
