Thrawn, of course. Maul was a better villain in TCW while Vader hasn't been given much to do other than be terrifying and kick some ass.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for the Seventh Sister, though. She's bae.

[Bearon]

I'm backing the Eighth Brother.

He had a helicopter blade. A HELICOPTER BLADE!

What more needs to be said?

[Zanera]

I don't watch Rebels, and I don't think I'd like it.

What more needs to be said?

All three of them had that.

[Eol Sha]

I dunno what type of media you like, but Rebels is good. Definitely worth a watch.

[The first Galactic Republic]

I'm backing the Eighth Brother.

What more needs to be said?

How can a light blade generate lift?

Tbh, I thought Thrawn was pretty mediocre in Rebels until the new Thrawn novel came out which fleshed out his interactions with characters like Pryce, his motivations and his actions up to the point we see him in Rebels. They add a lot to the show since, thanks to the novel, I know Thrawn still has a lot of enemies within Imperial High command and they're likely to capitalize on his failure from last season.

If we were to go purely by what's show in the show itself though, I would have to say I think the GI was the best written villain up to this point in the series.

The Force? It basically does everything.

It's solid. I'd rate it a high 7/low 8.

Thrawn easily, i always thought he was cool from the snippets i read about him in the old lore, but after seeing the Rebels trailer for him and how he performed i understand why people loved him so much. Im interested in reading that thrawn novel that came out too, but ive not got around to buying it yet.

I can't disagree there. Thrawn's predictive powers do seem a bit....magicky.

That said...he's Thrawn. THRAWN!

But he introduced it. The 5th Brother and 7th Sisters were just posers following the trends he set. Like all these new SW fans who lick the balls of the new canon.

Book prices are a fuckin' crime in the States.

The novel is great, though. Prepare for time jumps, though.

Do you need a youngling to figure out what's wrong with the holocron archive?

But without darkness the light has no meaning......

“The dark is generous.
Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from the truths of others.
The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
Its second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night’s embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in the day’s harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it’s the day that is temporary.
Day is the illusion.
Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.
With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.


The dark is generous, and it is patient.
It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.
The dark’s patience is infinite.
Eventually, even stars burn out.


The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.
It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.


The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover
