Gug Eyewalker Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Thrawn really is an awesome character. Military geniuses are itneresting, kinda like a Sun Tzu in Star Wars. The Thrawn trilogy was probably the best out of all of Zahn's work. I really enjoyed Outbound Flight, but I really hope some day I see more interaction between Thrawn and Palpatine; both geniuses in their own right. Palpatine is more of a political genius, a masterful chess player in political circles, who always seems to create a win-win situation. Thrawn is more of a tactical genius. IMHO it is not so much Darth Sidious's force powers that make him dangerous, but his cunning. Zahn's writing is great in parts, but sometimes mundane. I think he sometimes over does it with dialouge; the characters will often stand around talking while under attack. I really enjoy Aaron Allston's writing style though. Easily Zahn's equal, different but just as great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
