I love so much this trilogy, the villains: Grand Admiral Thrawn, Captain Pellaeon and the mad Jedi Joruus C’baoth are so interesting and especially this is the beginning of Thrawn!! I decided to draw a little Ysalamar because they’re so cute!! This drawing was so ambitious and long, I mixed a lot of traditional medias and some details was fixed with Procreate.

Dumbass AU where C'baoth left compulsions in the heads of the clones in Thrawn's army that would have made them loyal to him over Thrawn if C'baoth and Thrawn's disagreements came to that, except the specific phrasing was that they'd serve "the Jedi Master."

So when Luke starts the Praxeum, what's left of those clones start defecting from the Empire to serve Luke, as he's the Jedi Master.

You know, technically, C’baoth was right. The Force did end up being more powerful than any one person or fleet. He was just wrong in thinking that the Force would be on anyone’s side other than Luke Skywalker’s, the undisputed favourite grandchild

#star wars #luke skywalker #joruus c'baoth #star wars novels #the last command #thrawn trilogy #c’baoth really thought #that the force would pick him #when all the force has ever done #is pick luke #come on my guy #how many times has luke escaped? #did you really think the force would abandon him now? #side note #glad the vornskrs both #a: are okay #b: helped mara stab c’baoth #it’s what they all deserve #the inane ramblings of a madman

Luke Skywalker: Forgive me for speaking out, but are you crazy, sir?

Joruus C'Baoth, laughing: I wouldn't say crazy. Maybe an eccentric who looks good in robes.

I happened to find a copy of Heir to the Empire at my town’s library and decided to pick it up, and having just finished reading it today I can very very much understand why so many people were upset at the old EU getting canned. It’s a really good book, seriously so. It usually takes me a while to get my thoughts about a story in order, but just among the specific highlights here-

Leia is explicitly Force-sensitive as an important plot element. That was one of the major things I found missing in the ST, so having this right off the bat was a very welcome surprise.

Also, Leia and Han getting to have a stable and loving marriage. How about that.

Thrawn is just a fantastic villain, I can see why he became such a big deal in the fandom.

Mara and Luke having to slog through the wilderness while she highkey wants to murder him was a delight.

Oh, and whatever the fuck Joruus C’Baoth has got going on.

I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

Well I've been saying this wrong this entire time.

[Description: a screenshot from the 20th Anniversary Heir to the Empire annotations, reading: C'baoth, incidentally, is pronounced SA-bay-oth, with the first vowel pronounced like the a in has. If I'd realized how hard it was going to be for everyone else to figure out, I would have changed the spelling.]

baylon skoll is a worthy successor to joruus c'baoth and i am so sad this is likely the only time we will ever see him.

Having Ahsoka name Thrawn the 'Heir to the empire' makes me wonder if that GDILF Sith is supposed to be some revamped Joruus C'baoth.

I hope not... I hope he's a fresh character.

I miss 90s Star Wars novels

They used to be so goofy and fun. Like remember when Luke Skywalker narrowly avoided becoming a Sith slave because he realized the guy claiming to be a Jedi master signs his name wrong on tax documents and therefore must be an imposter

#star wars #thrawn trilogy #joruus c'baoth #holy shit there is actually a joruus c'baoth tag #90s sci fi

[magnetarbeam]

For some reason, I've always imagined C'baoth pronouncing "admiral" the same way Khan does in Star Trek II.

"GRAND ADMEERAL THRAWN"

like can we stop to think for a second about how luuke could have been. how he should have been. he was alive. he was alive! and he was cloned correctly - the ysalamiri were still active while he was being created so there was no initial danger to his existence. so he was born, and he was alive, and i'm sure he was afraid. who wouldn't be?

you wake up - no idea where you are, no memory of who you are - and there's this man, who seems so gentle at first, and he tells you it's okay. he tells you that your name is luuke skywalker, and you are a jedi, you've just forgotten your true self. but he will help you. and you don't know, you don't really understand, but you think: well, how can this get any worse? so you follow him.

and it feels wrong. you can't explain how, but it's not right. it feels like he's inside your mind, reading every thought, and you don't know how to stop him. he tells you not to fight it. "i'm helping you remember," he says, and - well, maybe he is. you can't tell. but you feel stronger than before, so maybe it's not all that bad. maybe this is for the best.

and he slowly gains more ground, and you slowly let him in, and - to be honest, there is no clarifying moment. one second, you are yourself. the next, you are only his will. whatever made you luuke skywalker was gone, replaced by joruus c'baoth's puppet strings. you're angry now, all the time, as if joruus's frantic emotions release themselves through you. you would do anything he asked, because he knows best, and he took care of you, and you are his. you have never been anything else.

how does it feel, then? to see your face looking back at you, with horror and revulsion in those familiar eyes? how does it feel to hear from your own master - from the man you have given everything to - that you are not his first choice, that you never have been? that you must kill this luke to prove your worth to your own master, who created you and trained you and took away your pesky will.

your fate was always to die. you only realize that in your last painful, flickering moments. but as you die, joruus leaves you, abandons you, and for a few precious seconds, you are free.

and then you are dead.

Today's Glup Shitto is: Obii-Wan Kenobi???? (not a typo)

In Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn, Grand Admiral Thrawn encounters and recruits the Dark Jedi Joruus C'Baoth. The guardian of the Emperor's secret storehouse on Wayland and a fascinating character, he is not the subject of this post.

When Thrawn encounters him in Heir, C'baoth claims to have killed the original guardian of the mountain. However, due to the mad clone's instability, it was speculated that he was the original guardian, and his claim was merely a delusion of his clone madness-addled mind, and sources like the Heir to the Empire Sourcebook state that their is no evidence of a prior guardian. However, later sources clarify that there was in fact an original guardian.

Now, if I may stray out of the realm of canonical sources, there is a further piece of information from the author's commentary in the 20th anniversary edition of Heir that takes on an interesting new meaning in this light:

Adding to this that Kenobi briefly traveled aboard the Outbound Flight project with C'Baoth, and could have had his generic information captured at the same time, it isn't a huge leap to believe that the original guardian may have been a clone of Obi-Wan Kenobi himself, perhaps created by Palpatine as a cruel mockery of his apprentice's former master.

Glup Shitto Classification: He's the reason for the season!

Did C’baoth make Luke tired on purpose? Like, was that the purpose of his mind control? Did he think that Luke would be more easily convinced to be a dick if Luke was tired? Or, was C’baoth trying to have sway over Luke’s mind like he has with other people’s minds, but all it did was make Luke confused and sleepy?

It being purposeful sleepiness makes a bit of sense, maybe? Like, Luke’s mind is definitely clouded to the point he doesn’t think about leaving. But, Luke is also never convinced that C’baoth is being a good Jedi. The only thing C’baoth actually manages to convince Luke of is that C’baoth is a dementia-ridden old man who needs a live-in nurse. And Luke is cool with being that nurse, but he also still doesn’t do any of the stuff C’baoth tries to get him to.

So, like, was the mind control supposed to make Luke sleepy or suggestible or what? Because all if did was make Luke sleepy. And Luke wasn’t even annoyed and sleepy, he was just confused and sleepy and trying to be nice to the weird old man who kept telling him to be unfair in dealings. Luke wasn’t even fully convinced that C’baoth was actually a Jedi Master, Luke was just thinking: “Well, I convinced one evil guy to be nicer. Maybe that’s something that I can do twice.”

Honestly is all the mind control ever does on Force sensitives is make them tired? I assumed that he was trying to get Mara to fall asleep and crash her ship, but I suppose he could have been trying to do something else and the sleeping wasn’t on purpose… Is that just how mind tricks are on other people trained in any way in the Force?

Or maybe it’s supposed to make them tired and then C’baoth does the mind control? When Luke goes into a room and convinces three Imperial men not to be concerned about it, he says he couldn’t do it again on more alert people. It only worked, according to Luke, because those three guys were bored and uninvested in their surroundings. Maybe, that’s what C’baoth is going for: make Luke tired so he’s less on guard and so easier to be mind controlled.

But, if that is what he was going for, it either didn’t work or C’baoth was playing a really long game.

And I know Luke says it worked, but Luke is just straight up wrong. C’baoth tried over and over to tell Luke that people who can’t connect to the Force are beneath them and should be treated poorly, and Luke continuously thinks that that’s wrong and does the exact opposite of treat them poorly. Even when Mara shows up and is clearly pointing a blaster at C’baoth, Luke still asks what happened. Like, C’baoth has been trying to get Luke to jump to conclusions for weeks and it just hasn’t worked!

Anyway, all this to say I’ve made a meme of my understanding of Luke and C’baoth’s relationship:
