I figured I’d add the description of the picture, as people had questions and I deleted the reblog I made where I wrote it.
Not to sound pretentious, but it was a bit symbolic. I was just playing around. Thrawn’s story/motive down in one image.
-The ground is supposed to be snow. (Csilla, his home) -The rank plaque isn’t there, but he wears imperial uniform. (His heart is with his home ‘snow white covered heart, snow white covered home’, not the empire that he ‘serves.’) -There’s too much blood for him to be alive. (He is dead by the time the Vong attack) -The Vong reflection in the blood (He died in his pursuit to prepare the galaxy for the upcoming war, a war that took 300 trillion lives, or so. Also the reflection is vague because the far outsiders were always a vague threat in Thrawn’s story.) -The gun (even after his death, he is fighting.)
In other words, Thrawn left his home to find a way to defeat the vong, he joined the empire but his heart remains with Csilla. It killed him in the end, but even after his death he keeps fighting the Vong. Empire of the Hand.
This May 4th we highlight everyone’s favorite woolly character, Chewbacca the Wookiee – or, as Princess Leia once referred to him as “this big walking carpet.” Trusty first officer of Han Solo’sMillennium Falcon, he is loyal, fearsome, and a Wookiee of … well, many words, but all of it unintelligible.
