I tried, I really really tried not to soy face when they revealed Thrawn. But it overpowered me. The sight of a book character being on screen overpowered my will, my mouth fell agape and I full on soy faced. I even kicked my feet a little.

Like a thousand YouTube clickbait thumbnails before me, I collapsed under the weight of immense hype.

Tbh I find the series quite boring and not challenging enough.

It’s no Andor, but I’m enjoying it enough. I feel like Thrawn is more mustache-twirling villain than cool and calculating Admiral he was in the books.

That is definitely my concern too "you've doomed your Galaxy" is a bit of a weird line from someone who thinks he's fighting the good fight against the Grysk.

Thrawn, moreso than any Imperial we've seen, is a very empathetic character. That line was him speaking from Sabine's perspective. He's not saying that he believes she doomed the Galaxy, he's saying that she believes it.

I'll accept that interpretation

Yes it's cereal, but I love cereal

I could only get through one episode. The writing and acting were just so 8th grade level. Possibly worse than Kenobi.

I thought the same for the first 2 episodes. In my opinion it gets way better starting with the third episode.
