Animals are very different from humans, most do things on instinct, not training

I still think there would be a Rebellion..and without Palpatine's purges, they would have even better tacticians than before..not to mention Jedi....so they could stand up to Thrawn..and perhaps overthrow him eventually. Though perhaps not as violently.

but didnt the books say that his officers and men were loyal to him?

Zeron · « **Reply #164 on:** June 18, 2007, 09:24:33 PM »

Loyalty can be bought, broken, and taken.

Not if its true loyalty, and not indoctrinated loyalty

But I believe Jedi would have founded Thrawn a good leader for the Republic.

Yes, it is quite possible that people would rebel against Thrawn, but if he maintained such equality and order without the fear factor - it would be far less violent, and would not be so widespread and supported.

Yes, in The Last Command Palleaon notes that 'Yesterday the Chimarera's crew had trusted and respected the Grand Admiral. After today, they would be ready to die for him'.

and that possible rebellion if Thrawn would rule, could propably be settled peacefully in the senate. Who would even be so stupid to rebel against Thrawn?

What if it was more than one rebellion..Like what if one of the old Imperial war lords sees himself fit to rule..Or the Jedi decide Tharwn's ways of ruling are seen unfit. There is just so much possibilities that could be orchestrated to over rule Thrawn and his establishment.

There are many possibilities what would have happened if Thrawn had ruled Empire instead of Palpatine. Everyone has their own ideas about it.

Wal-Mart Shoplifter · « **Reply #171 on:** June 19, 2007, 07:32:58 PM »

Oh course, and who knows they could all be true scenarios if they were to play out accordingly.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #172 on:** June 19, 2007, 10:35:58 PM »

Maybe someone should write a book

Wal-Mart Shoplifter · « **Reply #173 on:** June 19, 2007, 10:50:32 PM »

That would solve all our bickering...But we would still have theories and "What-Ifs" of course!

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #174 on:** June 19, 2007, 10:59:37 PM »

There always will be

Zahn could write a book about what would happen if Thrawn would be in Palpatines place. I would love to read it.

Slornie · « **Reply #176 on:** June 20, 2007, 08:12:27 AM »

only trouble with that is
[1] it wouldnt be 'canon' because it would completely contradict most of the other works (and thus LucasFilm wouldnt allow it)
[2] the story, events, characters would all depend on precisely when Thrawn took over - whether it be 10ABY (as in the Thrawn Trilogy), before/after Yavin or Endor, etc.

Nonetheless, it would be a great story.

Meyer · « **Reply #177 on:** June 20, 2007, 08:26:12 AM »

yes there would be problems to be solved to make it. But I would read it if there would be one.

Look at Thrawn before he became an Imperial. He may have kept the democracy intact.(As Slornie said before)

Kratas · « **Reply #179 on:** June 20, 2007, 12:33:16 PM »

he should write a book about the ggoings on of thrawn before heir to the empire
