Rogue One AU: everything is the same but Thrawn shows up last minute.

This thing is a month old and I. I forgor. So, yeah, rebels Thranto AU chilling with Kalluzeb!

"Hey, I said no cheatin!'" Zeb utters abruptly, leaning forward to fix a glare upon Thrawn. "Yer countin' yer cards, aren't ya? You may be the superior military strategist, but I know my cards. And you best bet I know how to count 'em." Beside him, Kallus stifles a laugh. Because of course the former Grand Admiral is counting his cards. The man has no grasp on politics whatsoever. Rules are arbitrary, laws even more so, and Kallus is willing to wager a great deal of credits that the man has never stepped foot inside a casino. "My apologies, Captain Orrelios." The response is a smooth drawl, tainted with embarrassment. "It appears I have yet to learn the etiquette of these games." "Or any etiquette at all," Eli Vanto adds from where he sits besides the Chiss, directly opposite Kallus. "For being the genius you are, you sure are stupid sometimes."

deep thrawn thoughts

(Just reread Vol. 1 of the Thrawn comic and had Things To Say. Lmk if I should elaborate on anything.)

“My job—the sole reason for my existence—is to defend the Chiss Ascendancy and protect my people. I will do whatever is necessary to achieve that goal, and I will allow nothing and no one to stand in my way.”

~ Timothy Zahn, Lesser Evil

Thrawn’s view of himself as an asset, a weapon, a tool of the Ascendancy is an example of his deep dehumanization of himself and his outlook as someone of no value except as a resource to be utilized. Thrawn thinks of himself as an expendable resource, and this contributes to his lack of value for himself, despite the deep value others have for him and the enormous positive impact he has on the lives of those around him. Though he seems to be controlling the chessboard, he sees himself as a pawn to be sacrificed, going where he can be the most use to his government. Thrawn’s disassociation from his humanity—his wants and needs and desires—are the true tragedy of his character, and why he serves as the perfect foil for Jedi Anakin Skywalker. The tragedy of Anakin was that he gave up his duty for the sake of his desires, while Thrawn’s tragic nature demands he forsake his desires in order to uphold his duty. 

The greatest military mind the galaxy has ever seen, and yet he cannot bring himself to value everything that he is.
