Excerpt From The Last Command By Timothy Zahn (1993):

Chiss take

Chiss purr.

That’s it, that’s my take.

OKAY OkAy BUT a fanfic about cheri stealing a cedf ship after being enlisted and finding thrawn with Ezra and what's left of the Chimera and then Ezra teachers her to be a jedi and omg she gets conflicted about her idol thrawn because he's SO different. He like BIG BAD now. EZRA is talking mad crap saying how thrawn bombed lothal and totally let a guy EXPLODE. And Thrawns all like "but it's for the good of the Ascendancy che'ri. Empire lesser evil bleh blew bleh" and Che'ri is all like "dood wtf you literally saved a species from extinction. And Ar'alani definitely told me about that morse code shit that one time in the Greater Good Book) and she re- sensitzes thrawn (that's not even a word be like you know what I mean). OMG I should learn to be a story teller. God dayum im on a ROLL

Somebody with talent steal my ideas. Make them your own. Make them 💫sparkle💫

I need him to face what he's done and feel regret, on some primal level. I need him to reconcile with himself. I need him to face reality, and choose the Acendancy. And become who he was before again, even if it's not an exact copy. I want my Thrawn back 🥺

Not to have raw emotion in this Chili’s tonight, but I’m imagining Ezra getting taken to the Ascendancy and realizing that the cold, somewhat callous man who enabled Hera’s cold-blooded torture and presented him to a Sith Lord on a silver platter is...rather beloved, if controversial.

(Ezra is a Jedi—he does not let his anger consume him, but this time he’s resisting a mixture of that and confusion)

to be clear. Ezra’s feelings are absolutely valid in this scenario. He does not have to get cured of any dislike for Thrawn just by seeing how the Chiss he’s close to think of him. But it’s definitely something I’d want any writer who takes this path in canon to consider.

bonus: the Chiss hearing Ezra’s (and very many imperials with them) testimony about Thrawn’s actions under the empire and *them* needing to reconcile that Thrawn, who, while a trigger-happy on preemptive strikes, generally cared, is the same person who they’re hearing about committing cold military acts and nearly bombing a planet into submission.

Story idea:

The daughter of Thrawn and a human is in a Victorian-esque love triangle with Thrufian's two sons.

Hey do you guys think Thrawn even has a clear memory of what Thrass's face looked like. You know. Considering the time it's been since Thrass died.

More books about the ascendancy characters plz. I need to know that my faves aren’t dead

I just watched The Honorable Ones, I now understand where Kalluzeb came from.

In the droid production facility on Mokivj...

Padmé: Hey, be safe

Anakin: Always

Outside in the ship...

Che'ri sarcastically: Cart ran'bin'he'ar (be safe)

Thrawn laughing: Ch'ah csarcican't cart cseo ran'bin'he'ar (I'll be so safe)

yes thrawn is one of the most complex antagonists and baddest big bad in the star wars universe and his return poses the largest threat to the new republic since its formation

but also... thrawn 🥰
