drat, Lars Mikkelsen's delivery of Thrawn's lines is so good.

Also I only just realized he and Mads Mikkelsen are brothers. Brothers playing major Star Wars villains in the same year. :aaaaa:

Isn't Mads playing Jyn Erso's dad who defects? I think he's not the villain but Ben Mendleson is

If you stop the new Rogue One trailer at 1:59, top of the screen between the near and far X-Wings, and undearneath a partially in frame Nebulon, is one of the Hammerhead corvettes

It would be pretty neat if they mentioned Phoenix squadron or something like "the empire has tightened security after what happened on Lothal"

Also, it'd be a great excuse for FFG to put the Hammerhead corvette into Star Wars Armada

actually, i'm not sorry at all but before you curse and accuse people of being mentally ill perhaps you should relax and take a deep breath.

I'm not even a fan of the original trilogy and got in to Star Wars because of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, not the movies. The trailers have some really good music, visual design and even a couple of scenes like the villain striding across water and the Death Star being finished. The dialogue and characters aren't appealing to me at all though, and the latest trailer doesn't change that for me.

Yeah that is a neat shoutout to Rebels, something small, for the fans. Maybe a mention of Commander Satos rebel cell by someone.

3 more episode titles:
Imperial Supercommandos (airs 11/5)
Iron Squadron (airs 11/19)
The Wynkahthu Job (airs 11/26)

Technically speaking they've only ever had one capital ship, and even when being very generous with your classifications the the Quasar Fire is a really small one :mil101:

This is the ship Bioware made for KotoR



The ship in Rebels is an homage to that design, and quite a bit smaller

If anything, the Rebels Hammerhead has more in common with SWTOR's take on the design, the Thranta:

A pretty good episode, I get the whole 'honour among adversaries' but the ending was a bit silly. Thrawn should have blasted them out of the air, the Y-wings were tracked, no need to let the crew of the Ghost get away and wreck the Empire another day. Also, his ship is now an Arquitans? He got downgraded.

That felt like it might've been an inspection visit, so he might've taken the Arquitens and left his flagship with his fleet. Pretty good episode. I like Zeb asking if Ezra had collected that one yet. Also Chop's Y-wing PTSD.

Thrawn I'm stil a bit leery on, but my worries are abating pretty fast.

Oh and of course "You didn't think that through, did you?" "Uh..." Should've tossed a grenade instead

Also, someone either goofed or they replaced the Phantom. I'm guessing the former.

He lets them go because he doesn't just want the Ghost crew, he doesn't even want just Phoenix squadron, he wants everyone that's about to appear in Rogue One, and he's poking and prodding them while trying to formulate a way to get the Spectres and Phoenix to lead him to the big prize.

Yup, actively killing the Ghost crew would probably be detrimental to his plans.
