[edit] Bad pic
I'm stunned that that image of Thrawn came from Starwars.com... It looks absolutely horrible. I could do a much better Photoshopping job myself. Just my opinion. --Kuronekoyama 07:39, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- How about this one? --maru 12:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Didn't that picture come from some Star Wars card game? They had models pose for the images of Thrawn, Karrde, Mara Jade, etc. --Kuralyov 17:57, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I think it came from SW Insider, since the other Grand Admirals pics are in the same style. I think it is considerably better than that ludicrous one that's currently up- it projects no menace or intellgence at all. When I see it, I want to snicker. --maru 18:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I'd personally prefer a screengrab from TIE Fighter. --Golbez 18:43, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

I took some time to take some screens from TIE Fighter. One with regular DOS-like image output, and one using the HQ2X pixel scaler to smooth out the jaggies. I also found a page with the cover from the new Outbound Flight novel by Zahn. Very nice cover with young Thrawn, IMO. I definitely think the current image should be changed out with one of these 3. --Swaaye 03:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- edit - got rid of images I put here. Decided to just put them in article because images are not supposed to be on talk pages. --Swaaye 19:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is there any reason for the Sherlock Holmes comparrison?
It doesn't seem to me that this adds anything to the article. Furthermore, without any outside sources this comparison seems to be entirely an original work. Unless both of these concerns are addressed, I think that it would be best if this section were to be removed.
[edit] Outbound Flight Project
Qoute from the article:
"Palpatine was first alerted to Thrawn's tactical genius even before he assumed the title of Emperor. The Outbound Flight Project, a Jedi expedition into deep space, was to be intercepted and destroyed by Palpatine’s forces, but before this could occur, they themselves were ambushed and nearly annihilated by Thrawn's border patrol on the edge of the Unknown Regions. That a squadron of the Republic’s most elite fighter pilots could not only be defeated, but also annihilated by the rudimentary defenses of a backwater planet was a credit to Thrawn's spectacular strategic skills."
"squadron of the Republic’s most elite fighter pilots"? acording to the Book: Outbound Flight these were Trade Federation Droid Starfighters, not human pilots or even Republic! Thrawn does not even truly encounter the Galactic Republic in the book at all! This needs to corrected. --The Matrix Prime 21:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah... Lovely how Lucas' prequel trilogy respects the EU material that came before it, isn't it? That first paragraph was completely accurate - as of the release of Vision of the Future. Not so much now. --maru (talk) contribs 02:41, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Defacto Galactic Emperor?
It does not seem from the books that this was one of his true ranks. Sure he was a warlord for the empire, and he commanded the imperial forces after the battle of endor, but where does he become galactic emperor? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rtsmith2005 (talk • contribs).
