The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I'm going to hope Thrawn is killed like he is in Legends, because I don't like the idea of these Rebels besting him.

Issue with Thrawn being introduced is the fact that we know he loses. mmm

A double edged sword, as it were.

Maybe Ezra does some ritual he learns from the holocron to beat Thrawn or something

Or maybe he'll trip and initiates a self destruct sequence on his Star Destroyer.

You know it's not beyond F*ckoni.

Dave's portrayal of Maul is absolutely terrible.

Grievous.. Ventress... Maul.

Three iconic SW villains utterly destroyed. 👆

I can only imagine Thrawn is next.

Add Dooku to the list.

It really sucks because when a lot of effort and care is put into villains by Dave they can be great (Vader)

Also Tarkin, but then neither he or Vader were said to be the main villains so that's probably why.

Filoni was very reverent of the Emperor.

True

Dave's portrayal of Palpatine and Vader were great, yeah. But not the others...

It's like when Filoni actually gives a **** and knows other people give a **** he can write villains well

Nobody can fail at everything. It was just luck.

Spoiler:
Except Legend.

Honestly, I was fine with Dooku's portrayal until Dark Disciple and Maul's until Rebels.

I pretend Dark Disciple never happened.

Dark Disciple unfortunately molested Ventress, and she was great beforehand IMO

Nah. TCW's portrayal of Ventress was weak from the start.

"I am fear. I am the queen of a blood-soaked planet and an architect of genocide. I have helped to crack the galaxy in half with this war and conquered every enemy I have ever faced—including death. All except for you."

That's how Ventress should be. ^ 👆

Dark Disciple is terrible, yes. What it did to the good Count is only part of the problem.

Beyond that, I don't think canon has made its mind up on the Force cosmology yet. The introduction of Bendu and the implications of not being light or dark smacks of EU fanwank.

Meh, Dooku was so much less impressive than in Legends.

As cool as that quote is, EU Ventress doesn't have nearly the same amount of character development, and TCW Ventress was more sympathetic so you could really feel for her and her plight. You can definitely relate more to TCW Ventress than to some raging genocidal psychopath. But I suppose that's just a matter of opinion. 🙂
