gffa:THRAWN: TREASON | by Timothy ZahnTHIS IS THE SHIT I AM HERE FOR WHEN IT COMES TO THE EMPIRE.There are only three times that I find the Empire interesting to read about–when it’s from the POV of someone who is struggling to reconcile knowing the terrible things they do and why they stay anyway, when it’s about the monstrous atrocities the Empire commits and why it absolutely had to be burned down to the ground, and then IMPERIAL CAT FIGHTS.I am 100% here for how everyone is playing politics and thinking they’re better at it than others or above it, that they’re still playing the Emperor’s game and dancing to his tune, that everyone is like, “Okay, yes, but these TIE Defenders probably would make more sense, but Stardust is clearly going to get the most attention, so WE ALL WANT TO BE IN CHARGE OF IT.” and MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS:- Everyone hates Krennic THE MOST, nobody likes that guy, he’s the worst and the whiniest and the butt of everyone’s smug, condescending commentary, like, at least Tarkin’s genuinely terrifying, Krennic’s just a whiny snot who should have all his toys taken away and they cannot WAIT for the day it happens- Thrawn being GENUINELY SURPRISED that they’re just using him as a weapon against each other, that they’re not APPRECIATIVE OF HIS SKILLS??? DOES NOT COMPUTE???? LOL, THE BEST THRAWN IS THE THRAWN WHO EVERYONE FINDS VAGUELY ANNOYING AND ONLY USEFUL IN SHORT BURSTS.That entire first chapter being a polite catfight about politics–THE GROLLOCS ARE A COUSIN SPECIES OF THE MYNOCKS, IT’S THE SAME THING, YOU ASSHOLE!, Krennic barely refrains from yelling after Tarkin politely corrected him, oh my god, I’m cracking up, I love how much they hate each other–was joy. -- source link
