#but in the process of preservation of the original story they botch the current canonized characterization

[hellonoblesky]

Repeating to myself over and over again that there is a multi-year time gap between rebels finale and Ashoka and Filoni movie version of HTTE so the Grysk conflict is probably concluded but by fucking god am I about to go rabid thinking about unresolved plots that have HUGE sway on a character because Thrawn has stuff to do and I love the htte triology but what is he doing there rn

#turtledove yells into the abyss #I’m literally going to be on a plane tmmr for like 6 hours this is going to be rotating in my head #Thrawn books in my brain!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! #like it’s such a double edged sword for me because like on one hand YES I want to see htte trilogy adapted #but I absolutely do NOT want the Grysk plot to be brushed over #Like there is nothing that irks me more with Star Wars’ dual canons than a bit from legends being recanonized/adapted #but in the process of preservation of the original story they botch the current canonized characterization #Like there is absolutely a way to bring htte into canon. I don’t think you can take it word for word from the source tho #LIKE IM JUST RAMBLING RN but like #I’m so conflicted I’m having a lot of feelings #bc like. When I complain about the filoni interview I don’t want to sound like I’m woobifying him r anything #Bc I KNOW he’s a bad person. I know he is not a hero he is in factPretty morally bad!!! #He’s a villian with complex motives and driving forces whose ABLE to do good but let’s be fr the man looked the othr way w SLAVERY #he’s not a good man. #but on thr flipside I think it’s his capacity to do good and how he clings to what morals he has r rlly important #Especially bc like. Yk. His character trait where he’s kinda. self sacrificial?? #Like he would kill himself for the Ascendancy because it’s for ‘the good of the people’ #AND LIKE. Idk #I’m probably talking in circles
