i felt like a nice discussion, so here we are:

We know that Palpatine and Thrawn had very different ideals, but how would these different ideals have influenced the Empire if Thrawn had been in overall control ? And with such ideals, how would things have been different in the galaxy ?

there would have been less or no xenophobia. Empire wouldn't have been so cruel and evil. And Thrawn would have been able to make comromizes with Imperial senate.
For starters

how about the Rebellion/Alliance to Restore the Republic ?

I believe Thrawn could have stopped it at its beginning. He would have met their complaints.

the restoration of the Senate?

relinquishing control of the government ?

he would meet them ?

He said himself he only wanted order to Galaxy in preparation for Yuuzhan Vong attack.

Slornie · « **Reply #6 on:** June 06, 2007, 07:53:28 AM »

but would the Senate be able to maintain that order, and prepare sufficient forces to defend the galaxy from the Vong ?

and would everyone be concerted in their efforts to maintain order, and prepare, or would the petty in-fighting, brush-wars and corruption still control the Senate and the government ?

I believe Thrawn would end it soon. He could count on mothma, organa all of those who would otherwise become rebel leaders. Without Palpatine's cruelty and evil they don't have to rebel.

but they were also concerned with freedom, justice and democracy - would they have been provided in Thrawn's Empire ?

Meyer · « **Reply #9 on:** June 06, 2007, 08:20:25 AM »

I believe so.

Slornie · « **Reply #10 on:** June 06, 2007, 08:27:12 AM »

how about some of the Imperial philosophies and procedures - ruling through fear, the Death Star, punishing many for the crimes of a few, etc ?

Those were the ideals of the Emperor's Empire. As for democracy..Well it will always be a bit corrupted. Not even a guy like Thrawn can change the mind of every being in the galaxy. No matter if his ways would be seen right. In other's mind it will be seen wrong as well.

No terror weapons would have been necessary.

Slornie · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2007, 09:59:25 AM »

so, no Death Star, and Alderaan would still be around ?

Admiral Stephen · « **Reply #14 on:** June 06, 2007, 04:45:38 PM »

yes alderaan would still be around as the Death Star Was a part of the Empire's policy of ruling through fear.

Meyer · « **Reply #15 on:** June 07, 2007, 02:23:01 AM »

yes. It was Tarkin's idea and I think Tarkin would have never worked for Thrawn in any way.

Kratas · « **Reply #16 on:** June 07, 2007, 12:35:19 PM »

he probably would if he kept his position as grand moff

Slornie · « **Reply #17 on:** June 07, 2007, 12:40:51 PM »

but if Thrawn had been in charge, and had restored the Senate, the Moff's wouldnt exist

Kratas · « **Reply #18 on:** June 07, 2007, 12:42:14 PM »

i didnt think of that

Meyer · « **Reply #19 on:** June 07, 2007, 02:16:27 PM »

yes there would have been no need for moffs.
