Disclaimer: I don't own Thrawn OR Star Wars Rebels. Disney owns everything. They own your soul, your family, your cow, your drums, your cereal! BOO!
...Sorry. Still a bit soon for Halloween, ain't it?
Background: Season 3 trailer (again!)
"Okay, Mr. Thrawn, speak what you must."
The director gestured a cue as other workmen slowly adjusted the lights so that the room brightened slowly, revealing Thrawn's silhouette and then his features.
"To defeat an enemy you must know them," Thrawn started narrating.
"Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art..."
"Okay, good-" the director started to whisper, but then was cut off.
"Math..."
"What?"
"Geology, social studies..."
"What is going on?" the filming crew started whispering to one another.
"Music, P.E., literature..."
"Mr. Thrawn?"
Meanwhile the room just kept on getting brighter since the workforce hadn't received any new orders.
"Industrial Arts, Home Economics, science..." Thrawn continued, squinting.
"Mr. Thrawn, I think that's enough-" the director tried cutting in again, squinting also.
"Spanish..."
Finally,
"Stop recording" hissed the director. "Mr. Thrawn, thank you very much but we really don't think Spanish is that important when it comes to understanding your enemies."
"What even IS Spanish to a Lothal alien, anyway?" muttered one of the workmen.
"What do you mean, Spanish isn't important?" Thrawn raised a blue eyebrow incredulously.
"I-"
"Of course it's important! As are all the others! Do you realize how important Graphic Design is when facing an unknown enemy?" the blue admiral shot back.
"As is Geography, Dance, Product design,..." he went on to list a bunch of different school subjects.
An hour later, the director was desperately pleading for Thrawn to stop, trotting behind him as he paced around the room reciting obscure school subjects and how every single one of them was important.
"..., Management, Algebra, Macroeconomics, ..."
"Man, I hate Algebra..." moaned an employee somewhere in the background.
"Dammit," grumbled someone else, further back in the background.
"I failed Macroeconomics."
I #$&ING HATE HISTORY
HOW THE %^#$& #$ AM I SUPPOSED TO MEMORIZE ALL THAT HAPPENED IN 4.5 BILLION/SIX MILLION/SIX THOUSAND YEARS VARYING ON YOUR VIEWPOINT
