What do you guys think of the new Thrawn comic, of which the last issue came out five days ago?

Dominic Hughes
Anthony Campbell
He's too fucking good for this series
Caleb Moore
I actually like it. I wasn't in the mood to read the book, but the comic give me a chance to know Thrawn.
Luis Barnes
Pretty shit all things considered.
Adam Williams
I am still mad Thrawn Trilogy was THRAWN out of canon, and yet Disney can still use the character and profit from it.
Lucas Parker
They got Zahn to consult for Rebels and he still wrote the novel this comic's based off of.
Brandon Bailey
I know that.
I am just VERY mad Thrawn trilogy was replaced with the shit trilogy.
Cooper Barnes
What the heck is going on with the mods? They just deleted a vader thread just because it is star wars.
Sebastian Martin
I don't care because I don't read shitvel
Connor Reed
I don't like the "lel mythological warrior species" that they're making the Chiss into
Was that always the case?
Hudson Rodriguez
The Thrawn trilogy had a lot of crap in it like everything to do with Mara Jade, clone jedi, and everything Leia did cashing in on being related to Vader.
Evan Morgan
I think the Thrawn Trilogy is a little overhyped and is seen as the Big Untouchable of the EU because it was one of the first entries that didn't have some ridiculous fucking 'better than the death star' superweapons that kept popping up early on.
Aaron Allen
I don't even remember if the Sun Crusher was in it. Fuck that ship.
Lucas Anderson
EU before Thrawn Trilogy was, what, pulpy Marvel comics? Zahn kickstarted the old EU as we know, for better or worse. I agree on it being overhyped though
Benjamin Baker
That was all Kevin J. Anderson. I don't think Thrawn ever used a superweapon.
EU before Thrawn trilogy was the Marvel comics, some radio dramas, and Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
Asher Young
Thrawn Trilogy was in a perfect spot where enough time has passed since RotJ for people to crave more Star Wars that wasn't an endless rehash of the OT, but prequels were still years away
Benjamin Hughes
Who cares? All of it is made invaled and irrelevant by The Last Jedi.
None of it matters.
Liam Lopez
...You realize that the Thrawn comic is set before ANH, right?
Noah Nelson
Your post doesn't make any sense. How did tlj made anything irrelevant?
Levi Barnes
if you don't care how come you care that the last jedi made it irrelevent.
Jack Kelly
aren't star wars threads banned, you faggots?
Asher Rivera
And by the time TRJ is done. Absolutely nothing of what Thrawn believe or cares will matter. "Kill the past if you have to" Remember?
Star Wars is nothing but Nihilistic bullshit.
Because none of this matters. Whatever sacrifices were done, are undone and everything becomes void. The rebellion? Meaningless. They changed nothing and did nothing for the Galaxy. Might as well, left Palpatine alive.
Daniel Allen
Because i'm angry and sad at what Rian Johson and Kenedy did to the saga.
Fucking hell.
Evan Gonzalez
Nah, that's just Rian Johnson being a dick. He's not involved in the next movie.
Kayden Ramirez
How it was different from EU? At least ST had peace for 30 years and going to have it again soon.
Brody Morgan
>ST had peace for 30 years
Star Trek? When did they go that long without an entry?
Owen Sanchez
The sequels.
Jeremiah Parker
>crap
>Mara Jade
Okay, user.
Andrew Thompson
As a Legends fag with zero interest in Disney's shit I'm interested to know if anything in it explicitly or majorly contradicts his Legends backstory? Same with his novel from Zahn.
Easton Butler
t. soyboy
Hudson Morris
Closest thing to a superweapon was a cloaking shield plus Battle Meditation Force ability.
Dominic Robinson
>shitting on Mara Jade
I bet you like Rey.
Lincoln Hall
user, Trek never went that long without someting in the movies or on TV.
This is the same story as the novel, just done as a comic book.
Owen Powell
its the same story as the novel
Juan Sanders
Nope, Rey is boring. I like Daisy Ridley, but Rey's writing is beyond bland and annoying.
Caleb Kelly
I was terrified that it was going to be terrible and cheap, but other than Marvel's standard incredibly disposable toilet paper printing (thank goodness for free digital copy), the art is AMAZING. Ross knows how to use those red eyes and black backgrounds like a BOSS.
Lucas Gomez
So Zahn was fine with them having Thrawn get thrown into hyperspace by giant squids?
Jonathan Hernandez
He mean "sequel trilogy", not star trek.
Owen James
Zahn has no say. He's been very diplomatic, and honestly, he killed Thrawn himself, so I think he's probably happy that Thrawn's still available for adventures in the unknown regions.
Especially after what they did to Mara.
Mason Rodriguez
Very likely. Filoni and Weisman worked on Rebels and both of them plan things years in advance, so Zahn probably came in and learned exactly how the show would end and how Filoni plans on having Thrawn appear in his post-ROTJ series.
Assuming that Zahn isn't going to write a book about that.
Connor Scott
Filoni never planned shit.
I've never heard of Weisman's involvement.
I mean aside from the Curse coming into effect
Matthew Murphy
Oh, well same question I guess, anything in the novel that majorly contradicts his Legends story?
Brandon Harris
So you cannot just ignore TLJ's existence?
Tyler Rogers
You realize that he was the producer of the first season, right?
Christopher Gomez
not really
James Brooks
And?
What did he contribute?
Wyatt Turner
There are a few differences here and there. The new Thrawn is slightly naive in the novel (or at least, he's playing it up to get a better grasp on the Empire) and cares more about lives in general rather than just discarding everything like scraps off his plate.
The reason for his exile from the Chiss is also different.
But other than that, he's pretty much the same.
Easton White
no one likes Rey
Jose Gutierrez
He wrote three episodes of the show, two mini-episodes, the Kanan comic, and edited the story for the first season.
Justin Martinez
Sad to see him stoop so low
The show was shit with near zero continuity
Weisman loves his continuity.
Mason Morris
>I didn't watch the show
Josiah Clark
I did. It sucked.
The characters are exactly the same from beginning to end
The plots are nearly the same too
Ezra is stupid and goofy and almost gets everyone in trouble with the dastardly Empire, who are like Scooby Doo villains
Ever 1/20 episodes they remember they're doing a series and not a collection of shorts. So they actually try. Like when Ezra was for an episode sorta edgy after reading the Sith Holocron. But then he's back to being smiley and goofy.
Compared to TCW, Filoni's last show, it was extremely disappointing. TCW was basically an exegesis of the Prequels.
Rebels was about selling lunchboxes.

Something worse than erasing her?
Carson Bailey
Kylo likes Rey
Joseph Long
They had Kylo Ren's first version, Jacen "Darth Caedus" Solo, kill her off with a cheap trick.

I am displeased.

IT is inevitable he is going to pop up somewhere, right? Maybe next movie, maybe the tv series, maybe Rian Johnson's trilogy.

Also the Han and Lando trilogies and a bunch of Ewok stuff
Joseph Murphy
Dominic Sanders
Nah
There's very little horizontal transfer. Things from comics/books very very rarely show up in movies. Yeah, Chopper and Hera were in RO, but those were briefest of brief cameos.
Actual roles?
Never
Julian Collins
Nathan Gomez
I forget the exact phrasing Zahn used, but at ECCC last year he said that he essentially wrote Thrawn, Outbound Flight, and the Thrawn Trilogy with the intent of having all of those works be in continuity with one another, which having read all three, I can see being the case.
Apparently the opening of Thrawn where he's discovered by the Empire is also a retelling of a short story in Legends that covers the same event with some retooling, but I haven't read the short story and therefore can't affirm how true that is.
