Ahsoka The Road To Peridea

If they end up following Thrawn back, and the YV war kicks off while a strong unified Imperial remnant led by Thrawn still exists, can the Nostril of Palpatine be far behind?

 

If it's the Vong, they should be that only in name. All their other characteristics should be different.

 

Why?

 

I hope the Vong don't show up. I hated the whole organic tech thing and they just drug the whole thing out way too long. That was the point that I stopped getting all SW books and only books set before the Vong started.

 

Not under Thrawn's management.

 

Because they’re stupid organo-orcs.

 

Nom Anor and Onimi are one of the most clever SW villains. And Vong have whole castes specialized in intellectual work.

 

I don’t mean they are dumb on a cognitive level. I mean they are dumb on a conceptual level. In other words, their Creator is dumb, not the Vong themselves.

 

On conceptual level they are a threat with the next level of brutality, but also a cunning one, not a bad concept by itself.

 

I don’t agree. They’re an over the top conceptual villain without any roots in history or myth. Better suited for bad speculative sci-fi. Not Star Wars.

 

They are actually drawn from history, very specifically they’re a take on the Aztecs.

 

Yum!

 

We are the Vong - resistance is futile.

 

Wait, they are? This is the first I’ve heard of that!

 

I would be absolutely thrilled if either the Grysk or the Vong showed up in Peridea - always loved the concept of an extra-galactic threat.

Not just because it adds something new and different and exciting to Star Wars, but also because it makes Thrawn (one of my favorite characters) so much more interesting. Going beyond just reading about it in Zahns (excellent) series of canon books and actually getting to see on-screen that he is motivated by something greater, that he has people he cares for and that he is not just a one-note villain would be... genuinely fantastic.

Before "Ahsoka" began, I had my doubts that we'd actually get to see any of that portrayed on-screen. But with the way Filoni has been writing the villains thus far, Baylan especially, I have begun to get my hopes up.

 

Yeah, Stackpole said as much in an interview. The real world basis for the Vong and their culture mostly comes from the Aztecs, especially their relationship to their pantheon of gods and some of the creation myths. And of course the gnarlier aspects of their religious rituals.

 

So basically what you’re saying is the Vong are a racist caricature of Aztec culture. In space.

 

Basically what I’m saying is, Filoni liked them….so brace for impact.

 

Oh no.

 

I would rather it be the Grysk. And that Thrawn and Ezra be on the far side of the Unknown Region. There is like 1/4 of the Galaxy that is really uncharted.

 

Speaking of this - wonder if Morgan's team's expedition will have terrible consequences not only because of Thrawn's return, but also because some other bigger threat (Vong, Grysk, someone else) will somehow learn that this hyperspace route can be used not only by purrgils, but also by ships and eventually will use it to invade.
Also regarding the mysterious people from another galaxy - maybe they were all Force-users and traveled to GFFA via communication with purrgils like Ahsoka. But after their arrival they for some reason fell to the Dark side, purrgils did not want to deal with them anymore and they were forced to use a map and hyperdrives to return.

 

The X-Files were also from the 90s

If they appear they might be toned down, but I wouldn’t expect it to be a “in name only” situation, going by how he’s used Thrawn, Pellaeon etc.
