My thoughts?
I HATE IT TOO! It’s loud, it’s not Energy Efficient. I heard the hours are lousy, the a/c and ice cream machines are always broken and it had roaches. 🪳🪳
Another figure in the Empire that didn't like the Death Star was Grand General Tagge, his views probably would have supported Thrawn's stance as he believed that the station was a major waste of resources that would have been better off allocated in the military for example the amount of Super Star Destroyers that they could build.
There's a reason thrawn almost conquerors the galaxy and palpy didn't
It's brought up in rebels briefly how so many resources are going to "project stardust" when Thrawn really is pushing for his tie defender program to continue funding.
Curious… the Death Star's weapon is powered in part by kyber crystals. By forcing that kind of hate/fear from the Death Star through them, shouldn't that make them bleed? Wouldn't that make the blast from the Death Star red instead of green?
Honestly the emperors biggest mistake was switching out the clone army for some regular people in white armour and wielding blasters
First minute sounds like Nazis
A fleet of ships could easily destroy a planets surface. The total demolition of a world and it's resources makes no sense in terms of effort and cost. Additionally a large navy can be flexible and deployed in many ways simultaneously to fight and destroy the rebellion on multiple fronts. The Death Star was intimidating but not tactical.
This one was fascinating. I knew neither of them liked the Death Star but this lays out some very compelling specifics. Love the part about Vader “earning” his power through suffering
Centuries ago the Spanish built large ships with multiple rows of cannons along each side, built to overwhelm enemy ships with dozens of shots crashing through the enemy ship it went against.
The English decided to build smaller ships with fewer cannons, and lots of them.
When the conflict with the Spanish and English came to a head the Spanish sent their fleet into the English Channel to attach the English ports and invade England.
The English fleet met them there and the battle begun. The smaller and lighter English ships were also much faster and were able to literally sail circles around the Spanish ships at speeds that made it very hard for the Spanish to time their shots so that they would hit and were further hampered by the fact that their cannons were designed to either hit other ships at a distance or similar sized ships up close.
So by getting up close and maneuvering at high speeds and with multiple smaller ships for each smaller Spanish ship, the English were able to put enough holes in the sides of the Spanish ships at the water line that they were able to sink the majority of the Spanish fleet.
In an attempt to escape the English and with their path south blocked by the English fleet, the remains Spanish fleet sailed north, right into the stormy North Sea which tore their sails apart which made it impossible for them to maneuver and let waves crashing into their sides roll them over and the seas to crash over the decks and sank the remainder of the Spanish fleet.
The English were like small birds going after the fearsome hawk and driving it away, only much deadlier.

Makes sense. Cool.
Why isn't planet earth ever mentioned ever in any of the story's
Thrawn has a weakness, actually several. He expects betrayal, and weakness in others, and keeps things close to his vest. That will eventually trip him up.
Thrawn was my preferred choice of the villain after Return of the Jedi. He used art, logic, and characteristics of people to be ahead of everyone. Mitth'raw'nuruodo was a genius.

Should've made it a cube. Cubes are really intimidating and menacing. The also can go really fast too. Spheres are pas·sé just ask the Flat Earthers…
The Death Star was ultimately the biggest, flashiest vanity project for Sideous. He wanted a weapon so powerful to demoralize any rebellion but simultaneously show off the empires fortune, and might. As Luke said in Return of the Jedi, "you're overconfidence is your weakness".
Thrawn in canon, probably:
I thought I would never again see Imperial minds create a project as idiotically vain as the Death Star… and then I heard about Gideon's plan to clone himself into an entire army.
Maybe he wanted to create the 5th imperium from dahak series. Each ship was moon sized and had gravitonic warheads. Beams broke things down at molecular levels.
Thrawn specifically wanted to shift funding from Project Stardust to his TIE Defender fleet.
I don't think Thrawn cared for the empire as an end, at least not at this point in time. What he put above himself was his people, the Chiss Ascendancy. The empire was but a means to achieve his goals ; protecting his own kind against the Grysks.
Thrawn cared more about his own people the Chiss, more than he cared about the empire.
Thrawn joined the empire as a spy, to evaluate the potential danger they present to his people.
At the end of the day, he is loyal to his people.
penultimate means second to last 😉 Love your videos 👍👍
What does alien mean in star wars? Please help me out
WTF man 😭😭 2:56 my eyes. what have you done?!
The Death Star should have aways stayed a contingency or a Feet Hub. At the very least they should have never used its main weapon against a member world unless to deplete it's planetary shield (witch could do at half power), and they should have put a lot more point defense or anti-fighter defense in place
