Okay here’s something I noticed about Crosshair and Omega’s relationship, and why I think it was so easy for Crosshair to grow attached to her.
Basically- he says that loyalty is something that means a lot to him, and Omega is the ONE person who never EVER gave up on him.
All the way back in the very first episode even- they’re sitting in a containment cell and Omega says to him: “I know what you’re going to do, but please don’t.” His response is simply, “what do you know?” To which she says, “I know it’s not your fault.” The others were quick to wonder why he would turn on them, Omega knew he didn’t have a choice.
During Kamino Lost- after Crosshair doesn’t take their offer, Omega’s the only one who turns back to him. “You’re still their brother, Crosshair. You’re my brother too.”
And on Tantiss- he would dismiss her, tell her not to bother talking to him, but she doesn’t stop. She refuses to escape without him, no matter what he tells her to do or says to dissuade her, she won’t leave him behind.
The rest of the batch gave him a chance- they wanted him back- but they left him behind, even if it was Crosshair’s choice to stay. Omega wouldn’t give up on him, no matter what, even at the risk of her own safety and only chance to escape.
She never gave up on him. Even when he felt like he wasn’t worth it.

one of my posts is very popular with shippers and i keep seeing the tag #obitine
and since i don't know much about Star Wars beyond the movies i thought "that's an alarming number of people shipping obi wan and palpatine" (alarming as in more than i expected, not that i'm against it)
TODAY i learned that the 'tine' refers to a female character called Satine

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.
Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.
Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

I am concerned about Thrawn's characterization.
A key part of why Thrawn is somewhat likeable is how he always encourages independent thinking and dislikes blind obedience. Everything Thrawn does is a calculated choice and he encourages that thoughtfulness in all his subordinates.
He would not want an army chanting his name.
His motivations don't add up. Thrawn always said his loyalty was first to his people and the Empire second. He always said that using the Empire was a means to an end.
If the Empire collapsed, he would not build it up again. He would abandon it. He would start over somewhere else and find a different resource. After all, Thawn steals art. He does not make it.
Thrawn is not a good guy. He outright says he ignores his conscience to accomplish his goals and abandoned the same people he claimed to protect for 20 years. But he was a truly complex villain in Rebels and an anti-hero in the books.
Ahsoka, so far, has flattened one of the most compelling Star Wars characters and I am greatly disappointed.
