@@merafirewing6591yup. Thrawn just seals their inevetable defeat, even if Dooku had unleashed the FULL might of the seperatists navy and army Thrawn would likely still win.
I absolutely love the way you have written this what if scenario, Thrawn outsmarting Palpatine and dismantling his plan is a perfect display of his genius and strategic brilliance. The manipulator was now the one manipulated. Love it!
Okay, I just want to say that I can definitely see Thrawn being a tactical mentor to Ahsoka and helping her learn how to be a better tactician when it eventually comes to the Space Battle of Ryloth
Interesting interesting, I can see Dooku having a good ending here, actually having a chance to try what he wanted with helping the people, and falling away from the Dark side, back towards the light, or at least a grey area. This one could definitly have a part 2.
You need to read the books he is a genius and they are SO well written if there is one book to recommend to a star wars fan it is Thrawn by Timothy Zahn
I can see that if Thrawn joined the Republic, he'd be a part of Anakin's circle and part of his surrogate family outside of blood and species. The Dream Team: Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Thrawn, Padmé Amidala Skywalker, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, Fives, Wax, Boil, and Kix.
Don't forget to include Plo Koon and his Wolfpack, and Bariss Offee whose abilities to force heal would be a huge boon, and a chance for her to get away from her jedi master.
Thrawn joining at this time and immediately noticing the war was a game makes total sense. I feel once he joined the Empire eventhough Thrawn saw the issues with it his pride got in the way so when he started loosing instead of switching sides for the sake of his people he doubled down. I think if he joined the republic he would have defended it from becoming the Empire, again since he doesn't like loosing. Especially how impressed he was with the Jedi, if they weren't purged he would have seen them as the strongest ally, although flawed as well. Thrawn using the Art in palpatine's office and using the force blocking lizard to kill him was nice touch.
Honestly you did a pretty good job here. Extremely intelligent characters are not the easiest to write. When it comes to writing intelligence there are two extreme ways it can be, and often is, written. Provide too much information or provide little to no information. Give too much context for the intelligent characters thought process. And thus why they made a certain or came to a certain conclusion. Or give too little context. We don't need, or want, every last detail of how Thrawn came to his conclusions or decisions. We just need, and want, just enough. You provided just enough. And in way that makes sense.
out of all the "good endings" of your what if scenarios, I think I like this one the best. *everyone* more or less wins here. big bad evil guy defeated, but the separatists get to stay independent and Dooku gets what he wanted in the end, sort of. its great.
This was rather fantastic. Hyper competent individuals are very difficult in general to make even believable, let alone interesting. I enjoy the focus on greater narratives rather than try to make a "thrawn strategy" win. Good Job!
I feel thrawn would see through the deception of order 66 as well. He would have read about clones turning on their Jedi and what happened to fives. His style of learn everything would have destroyed all of the plans in place
I'm eagerly awaiting for part 2 to come out. Thrawn with ahsoka in the chis ascendency and the unknown regions with possible whispers of the grysk and the ssi ruu maybe potentially even advance elements of the yuuzhan vong infiltration forces. Massive potential for future what if videos. If you take thrawn and ahsoka into the unknown regions that is. Man your in the zone keep it up. Kind regards from Daniel Harman.
I should say I am eagerly awaiting for part 2 to come out. With the possibility of thrawn and ahsoka in the unknown regions. I don't want to sound pushy. Kind regards from Daniel Harman.
I mean Thrawn is a genius so you have to know the story extremely well front to back and then write him into it. You did a good job imo especially with not being a "writer". I love your stories and think you do well, if i didnt i wouldn't be subscribed haha
One of your best Fan fictions. But it has one glaring issue. The Jedi knowing Dooku was a Sith, would never have allowed him to just become the leader of the separatist
Being a Sith was no crime The crime Palpatine committed was not being a Sith but aiding the enemy Dooku did not do such treachery so the Jedi couldn't do anything without provoking a war again
I think if the Jedi refused to agree to Dooku becoming the leader of the Separatists, many people in the Republic will likely turn against them for prolonging the war.
This is so in-line with Cannon Thrawn from the books. If the timeline if the Chiss war was just a bit earlier, maybe Thrawn could have stopped this all before it started.
I feel this story and theory is honestly worth a part 2 or a sequel of some sort. This seems like such a unique and interesting what if with Thrawn in it, I can't help but wanna see what's next for the story. Maybe the Yuuzhan Vong, for the sake of this story, arrives at the SW galaxy much earlier than in the stories, and we get Republic and Separatists, clones and droids, teaming up to stop thid new threat to the Galaxy, with Thrawn, Anakin, Ahsoka, maybe even Dooku and the other Jedi, at the helm of it.
So cool and calcualting a begin that is what makes Thrawn so good a character and I loved how he was able to tell that in this version right away something was off on Palatine not even the Jedi had picked up on the art works, This made a great story and version of the whole war diferent and an exciting to see just how it would fold out how would Thrawn descover Palatines secert and beat him.
I highly doubt anything would’ve changed, Thrawn would be as Tarkin was. A genius and tactical strategist - one who may have been ruthless against the Jedi when Order 66 was ordered due to studying the religion. He wouldn’t have had Jedi command him rather he would command them, using strategy with the Jedi antics into account (as shown when he had to deal with a Jedi clone and his insane antics). He would acknowledge the strength of the Jedi and possibly give respect - when it is earned (as shown when Thrawn worked with Vader and eventually worked it out that Vader was Anakin and tried to get Vader to admit Anakin and Vader were one in the same).
Always like Thrawn, as well as his successor in the Legend books. Have, but have not read, the new Thrawn books, so was thinking it was so early for him to have known about the Ysalamir. Nice to see a way for Thrawn to be on the Republic side rather than the Empire's.
This was a GREAT what if. One of the best ones you've done. I liked all the references you employed from rebels and books. A 2nd part or third is a definite. Maybe one where Thrawn seeks the help of the Jedi to fight against the chiss enemy.
What if during the Ahsoka series, on peridea, sabine encounters a tribe of the long thought extinct rakata species and after some building of trust, agrees to help her and ezra fight thrawns forces?
This is certainly one of your best. Neither predictable nor cliche, largely respectful of established character traits without being mere repetition, and wrapping with a truly entertaining and satisfying climax. Plus…Thrawn becoming almost immediately suspicious of Palpatine on viewing the art in his office? That was brilliant. I really enjoyed that. ps Your writing style and fidelity to professional standards will need work for quite a while longer, but inch forward agreeably. Writing is almost always a hard-won skill, not a gift of birth. Skills demand practice and reward persistence, and you’re flush with both.
I like the idea of that creature draining palpatine's force but what I would've done if I were writing is make thrawn a hologram while he was speaking to palps for the last time
I love it, my only caveat is I think he'd blackmail Padme and the Jedi to form an Empire telling them the truth the Republic they serve is a lost cause and if they want the name of the true master of the clone war he'd tell them if Padme and Anakin ruled Padme as empress and Anakin as consort. No way he trusts the failing republic's leadership, having seen Padme fight and studied her rule of Naboo he'd trust her rule to fair and after war strong
Here’s the thing I think he won’t like Anakins impulsive behaviour and act, but at the same time knows how much of an assets he is due to his prowess in combat, as well as a lot of his impulsive actions seemingly paying off a lot. He would probably focus on talents like him, keeping them safe (like from corrupt people and what missions he sends them on) as well as try to manipulate anakin into training harder and focusing learning therefore making him more powerful (not only him but other talents like Kenobi who he will like)
My God!!! This story was a masterpiece! The stories you create are far superior than anything Disney could hope to create. I'll be honest… I look forward to hearing you tell a new story far more than any story that comes out of Disney. Bravo!!
Rebels really paints an emotionless yet conniving and genius Thrawn, but the novels points to Thrawn being very emotional (yet still a genius). It’s nice to see the latter.
I liked the story, and I understand that it was hard for you to write for Thrawn, but you need to have him speak more. The best parts of Thrawn are him explaining just enough for his protege to grasp what the strategy. All of the parts with strategy should have been explained by Thrawn.
What if Thrawn and the crew of the chimera joined the rebel alliance or the resistance? lets say when Thrawn was asked to help with the rebels by governor price it's the nail in the coffin for him how inept the rest of Empire is besides himself, and he becomes further impressed by the rebels an decides join. Or he could join when he discovers agent kallus is a spy or he decides to subvert the Empire from within. Or he has a change of heart when he is exiled in the unkown regions and joins with ezra and ezra summons the purgill to bring them back or when Ahsoka shows up they all return and become New Republic allies or returns home until he comes back to eventually help fight the first order.
Thrawn: *joins the republic*
The entire Seperatist military: "WE'RE FUCKED!"
They're so screwed royally in every way.
@@merafirewing6591yup. Thrawn just seals their inevetable defeat, even if Dooku had unleashed the FULL might of the seperatists navy and army Thrawn would likely still win.
Thrawn on your side is better than Thrawn dominating against you
No shit
I absolutely love the way you have written this what if scenario, Thrawn outsmarting Palpatine and dismantling his plan is a perfect display of his genius and strategic brilliance. The manipulator was now the one manipulated. Love it!
I especially love the twist of using a Ysalmir from Legends to negate his powers, that was a Chiss Sith Lord level IQ Play!
We need a part 2 of this, with Thrawn and Ashoka helping the rest of the Chiss
Could make it a series where they go into the battle with the Yuuzhan Von
Totally agree
This thing needs a part 2 for sure, also he wrote Thrawn so well!!!
I also agree! I think he captured Thrawn's nature very well in this video.
I would love a part 2
Okay, I just want to say that I can definitely see Thrawn being a tactical mentor to Ahsoka and helping her learn how to be a better tactician when it eventually comes to the Space Battle of Ryloth
Thrawn was quite possibly the most brilliant man of his era. Definitely need to see him in a movie someday. 🙏
A master strategist and a master tactician working together. This was fun to listen to
Interesting interesting, I can see Dooku having a good ending here, actually having a chance to try what he wanted with helping the people, and falling away from the Dark side, back towards the light, or at least a grey area. This one could definitly have a part 2.
I learned a lot about Thrawn today, he’s more interesting than I thought
You need to read the books he is a genius and they are SO well written if there is one book to recommend to a star wars fan it is Thrawn by Timothy Zahn
@@andyyoo8018 I’ll be sure to check it out
Hehehe the mental image of Palps going "aw f***" as Thrawn shoots him and pulls a lizard that negates the force outta his a** is amazing💯

No Yularen? 😢
Good list
@CT-Kix Thanks Kix. Clones are awesome. Circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It's what you do with the gift of life that truly matters.
I love thrawn, he’s a true threat to even the sith and he didn’t even have the force.
Thrawn is like the superstar player who will dominate on any team he is put on.
Thrawn is such an interesting character to look at a love this character
This is by far the best fan fiction you have ever done. I wish this was an actual clone wars show type thing.

its great.
What If Vader joined the Rebels before the time of A New Hope
This would be awesome
I think another Chanel has something similar too your idea

Thrawn's intellect should never ever be slept on at all 👏, Great story once again man loving your work.
Thrawn is a genius instead of fighting the force he uses it to his advantage what a play
We need a part two with Thrawn and Ahsoka
What a great story I would love a sequel to this!
One of your best Fan fictions. But it has one glaring issue. The Jedi knowing Dooku was a Sith, would never have allowed him to just become the leader of the separatist
they may not have been given a choice
I mean... At this point there is nothing they could really do about it unless they wanted to prolong the war.
Being a Sith was no crime
The crime Palpatine committed was not being a Sith but aiding the enemy
Dooku did not do such treachery so the Jedi couldn't do anything without provoking a war again
I think if the Jedi refused to agree to Dooku becoming the leader of the Separatists, many people in the Republic will likely turn against them for prolonging the war.
