palpatine failed to consider tactical approaches in the same way. had he moved his star destroyers in, then it is almost certain that the rebels would have been destroyed. but he had to put on a show.

palpatine was too confident in 1 strike kills

Doesn't matter, Palpatine got closest at Yavin when the rebellion was still weak. The NR still had alot of sectors and fleets when facing Thrawn

I guess. I dont know....Thrawn was a btter strategist, and if he ahd the numbers, he would have done much better than Palpatine, hence I think Thrawn is a much better leader than Palpatine ever was.

That has to do with what?

The battle that Trawn died at wasn't the fate of the NR, but it decided where the tide was turned. Didn't Thrawn have a backup plan for that battle?

umm thrawn was also turned on by his own people

I don't know if Thrawn had backup plan. maybe you're referring to those 2 Golan II battle stations that were cloaked. But if Rukh hadn't murdered Thrawn, the Empire would have won the battle. and had taken out two sector fleets from the rebellion. that would have been quite a blow for them and their capability to fight back.

possibly even fatally crippling them

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #89 on:** March 23, 2008, 01:40:12 PM »

Maybe. Meyer, I was not talking about that. I was saying wouldn't he have had a plan that others would have followed if he died. He would have at least prepared for the destruction of the Chimaera. (Which I know did not happen.)

Isamu · « **Reply #90 on:** March 23, 2008, 03:59:13 PM »

why didn't thrawn have the chimaera in foc?

Meyer · « **Reply #91 on:** March 23, 2008, 04:07:19 PM »

because Thrawn didn't move to Chimaera before 9 ABY. At the time he commanded Admonitor

the chiss disowned him as one of their own. they did not become hostile. the eoth would be stupid if the chiss wanted to kill thrawn.

Isamu · « **Reply #94 on:** March 26, 2008, 09:22:15 PM »

not the chiss his norghi assassin/body guards

aNaRcHiSt44 · « **Reply #95 on:** March 27, 2008, 05:30:41 AM »

I wonder....why did they kill him?

vadereclipse · « **Reply #96 on:** March 27, 2008, 05:54:51 AM »

rukh found out that the empire were not helping honoghr.
and thrawn was a chiss, not a noghri, you idiot. hardly his people.

they were his people in the sense that a general commands his people...

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #98 on:** March 27, 2008, 02:33:14 PM »

A race of warriors that you lie to make death squads and bodyguards are not 'your people'

strike23 · « **Reply #99 on:** March 27, 2008, 02:37:19 PM »

they were supposed to be fighting for/under him. that makes them his people.
