  As per the last video, this one is pure Legends as the subject and canon go in different directions. <br> <br>Onto the discussion: <br> <br>The Legends version says an authoritarian state cannot audit itself, because the people who would find the fault are the people who get punished for finding it. Do you agree? Or is that letting a lot of very good engineers off the hook?

  I’m not big on authoritarianism or imperialism, but if I had to serve in such a society, I would want it to be under a commander like grand Admiral Thrawn.

  I like thrawn’s brief look of satisfaction when the captain says “he is telling them the answer”. It shows that the captain really is listening, both to the designer and to thrawns lessons in general. He actually is understanding the essence of those lessons.

  Every day is a good day when Thawn explains things with Facts and Logic.

  I have got to hand it to you for perfectly capturing the essence of &nbsp;Thrawn. Your videos perfectly showcase his cunning and strategic genius. All of his analytical nature is on full display here. Thank you for making these. As I have said before, I am not the biggest fan of AI material, but I do appreciate what you are doing here.

  It&apos;s true. The Garand had a war it was designed to fight. The Abrams main battle tank had a war it was designed to fight. The Bradly IFV had a war it was designed to fight. The Death Star... was a showpiece.

  Any man who must say ‘I am king’ to legitimize power is no king at all.

  Sir, I have only listened to two minutes of this, and the fact that the first two minutes has SO much relevance to real life is absolutely mind-blowing. I&apos;m not trying to flatter you, but you are doing a HECKUVA job here as well as with the other Thrawn videos. <br><br>I am learning as much from a fictional character as I have learned in most institutions such as schools and churches. Thank you so much.<br><br>Keep up the good work.

  I’m an engineer manager that spent a couple decades managing the water and wastewater utilities of a medium sized county. &nbsp;This reminds me of virtually every meeting with every mayor and every city council meeting and, especially every public meeting where I ever spoke. &nbsp;Solutions in search of problems rather than the opposite.

  These videos are the single best inquiries into the Star Wars universe and its history as anything I have seen.
