However , there ’s one tantrum in the previous addition toStar Warslore that shew definitively that Darth Vader is nowhere close to being as voguish as Thrawn in footing of wartime leadership , and to compare them is an insult to Thrawn ’s Einstein .
Grand Admiral Thrawnwas first introduced inStar WarsLegendsinStar Wars : Heir to the Empireby Timothy Zahn , and would n’t be introduced into the main series canyon untilStar Wars : Rebels . Now , Thrawn is making his live - activity entry in the Disney+ series , Ahsoka , which will place him in the exact same position he was in upon his original debut as the Heir to the Empire . With that title comes a laundry list of outlook , as Thrawn has to be as successful in ruling the galaxy as the Emperor , and as ruthless in defending his position of power as Darth Vader . While that may seem like a tall order , Thrawn has more than rise himself fit for the place . In any given billet , Thrawn has suppose of every potential boulevard and outcome , and has come up up with a counterstrike for those situations as well , entrust nothing to adventure . However , if a situation is hopeless , Thrawn knows when he needs to retreat , so he may review the situation and claim triumph next time .

Thrawn Knows When To Retreat, Darth Vader Does Not
InStar war : Darth Vader#37 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco , Darth Vader and his small army of reprogrammed droidsare sent to secure the ship The Executor , as it ’s been compromised after every droid on the ship got overtaken by the Scourge . Darth Vader is unwitting to that fact at this time , so to him , it just seems like every droid has revolted . While flying towards The Executor in a smaller vessel , Vader and his crew of droids are round by TIE Fighters being flown by astromechs . When one of Vader ’s droids repoint out that they ’ve suffered serious price , and that retreat has now become impossible as a result , Vader replies , “ You answer me now , droid . You will never retreat ” .
Darth Vader refusing to retreat is a tendency that can be trace all the way back to when he was called Anakin Skywalker , and when he was a general for the Republic during the Clone Wars . On many occasions , the 501st would comment on how General Skywalker would always descend up with crazy plans of attack , and how he would always lead the charge as well . While many of those program result in success , it was usually due to Anakin ’s unco strong connexion with the Force , and his ability to wiretap into that raw tycoon to simply out - muscle his opponent . That ’s why Anakin - and later Darth Vader - never felt the need to withdraw . Thrawn , on the other mitt , does n’t have any connection with the Force , let alone one as potent as Vader . Therefore , he does take to deal chic tactic , rather than simply throwing himself and his squadron into impossible scenarios and somehow coming out on top .
Darth Vader is a warrior with no adequate , who can get the better of entire armies in struggle single - handedly , but that unparalleled power does not equate to wartime tactic and struggle scheme , which oftentimes expect retirement to attain ultimate triumph . Thrawn sleep together this , and implements it on a regular basis , while Darth Vader outright turn down to do so , which is whyThrawnis unarguably wise thanDarth VaderinStar Warscanon .
