Minion: Oh no. The heroes have managed to get what they wanted. What do we do?
Thrawn: Let it go. You see I am such a tactical genius that I have learned everything I need to know from this encounter and we will win in the end
*doesn't win in the end because he didn't learn everything he needed to know*

Why do people wanna follow this chump as the new Emperor?

The Imperial Remnant is apparently sitting around waiting for this dude to come back. That's not the end that's the big threat in Ahsoka already.

Why anyone actually wants this isn't actually stated to be fair?

Filoni Thrawn is a hollow shell of Zahn Thrawn, it's honestly sad to watch.

Won what?

If he wins he would be the leader of the First Order. Doesn't seem like he is?

Wow he returned home after being rescued. What a flawless victory that will be remembered. He sure showed those three people who tried to stop him.

I'm sure he will go on to do incredible things.

Just to be clear my topic is laughing about his entire journey as a character and not about a specific episode.

I'm not sure what the empire even sees in thrawn tbh. Dude did absolutely fuck all in rebels.

Never killing any named characters, achive any major victory, was beaten by a kid and is carried mostly by non canon legend material.

Villains aren't allowed to be successful, especially so in Star Wars, and extra-super especially so in kids shows.

He never outsmarted them in a way that mattered because he always lost in the end.

I'm not wanting anything from him. These shows are the ones positioning him as some massive threat that will bring back the empire.

Nothing in any of these shows prove that he's capable of this, why people believe he is capable of this or why he would even want to do this. What does he even want to do outside of outsmarting people in battle? What leader does he want to be? Beats me.

We also know that he doesn't accomplish this. Nothing about him actually matters.

No I'm not. I'm criticizing the use of a shallow villain for a shallow premise that isn't earned.

There is nothing established in either Rebels or Ahsoka that proves why anyone would give much of a shit about Thrawn. Yet the show wants me to believe that he has legions of devoted followers waiting for his return.

I didn't force the writers to use a cartoon villain as a big bad for their current story. I didn't force them to reuse the 'we need to find a galaxy map that leads us to an important person' plot for the third time in less than a decade.

Yep.

TFA had the star map journey to find Luke
TROS had the star map journey to find the Emperor
Now Ahsoka has the star map journey to find Ezra and Thrawn

Not really sure why they keep reusing this. At least the star map journey in KOTOR was to find a super weapons factory and not some guy.

Now that I think about it Star Wars Jedi Survivor was also about a star map journey but at least that also wasn't just about finding someone.

But yeah a lot of finding star maps in Star Wars lately.

It's easy padding.
Instead of having a macguffin of the week, just set up a 80s-cartoon "endless quest" plot, and incorporate random shit along the way, probably recycled from an abandoned script for something else. Maybe it gets you ambiguously further along the quest, but it doesn't really matter when it doesn't.

Let's hope that the Mortis Temple Baylon is searching for is the big reset button for the storyline.

I mean, yeah, pre-Disney they killed off Thrawn and admitted that they could totally bring him back if they really wanted to because Legends Thrawn was an absolute tactical genius.

And even now Thrawn being of high rank in the Empire, which is xenophobic as fuck, is a testament to the fact he must be REALLY good.
