I slayed countless Noghri in Jedi Acadmy and watched as Storm Troopers gunned them down, I have seen Jawas put up a better fight.Okay theBalance, Lana made my sig, if your that good make one better for me, put your money where your mouth is.
Hey, wait a second.. This means I have card blanche in her forums and can start bashing everybody and be above the law. All I have to do now to gain unlimited power is get on every moderators ignoring list!!
I'M SO SMART!!! WHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
@Nactous, you have defeated noghri and jawa's? You must be delusional.
Go away, right now.
The point is, Rukh (the Nohgri who killed Thrawn) served as his bodyguard, and Thrawn (as well as the other Imperial officers) placed their trust in him.
Rukh and Thrawn didn't have a battle to the death. He simply took advantage of Thrawn's distraction and stabbed him in the chest. It is conceivable for any enemy to do that to anyone.
At any rate, Rukh's betrayal doesn't make Thrawn any less of a tactition. Did Vader chucking Palpatine down the reactor shaft of the Death Star II make him more powerful than the Emperor? Nope. In both cases, they took advantage of a distraction to defeat their opponents.
Thrawn, with less than a quarter of the Imperial Starfleet managed to nearly crush the New Republic, which was described as "better trained and motivated".
Essentially, he took on a numerically superior and better trained opponent, and won. Several, several times.
Then, there's the fact that he was named "the greatest tactition ever" by the time of the Hand of Thrawn trilogy, I believe, which is several, several years after the events of Knights of the Old Republic.
Thus: Thrawn > Revan.
Revan is an exceptional tactition and possessed incredible ability. But Thrawn is better.
Case closed.

Wait. Isn't that sort of what happened to Revan? He placed his trust in Malak and Malak blasted him from a far with his cruiser while he was fighting three Jedi?
Mm-hmm.
But, Nactous here was the one who said that Thrawn being betrayed made him less of a tactition. I'm disagreeing. The same goes for Revan. But, in chronology, the Hand of Thrawn trilogy is about three thousand years after the Knights of the Old Republic.
And, Thrawn was labeled as the greatest tactition in the history of the galaxy by that time, which means he's better than Revan.
