#sometimes there'll be complete silence and he'll just turn smile nod and go back to his paperwork

[thrawns-backrest]

Man I would have loved to see what an imperial command zoom meeting would look like

You have Palpatine starting the call and when it connects it's just Ronan in a badly attached silver wig, an 'artistically done' cardboard cutout of Thrawn, Tarkin dozing in the corner with an eye mask on and Yularen who's doing paperwork and who very obviously has everyone on mute because he doesn't react to anything they say and only occasionally turns towards the camera to smile and nod

There's also Vader but his suit looks very floompy in some places and no one addresses the fact that that's his empty spare suit because they're all waiting to see if it will synchronize with the Thrawn cutout when it eventually falls over

(Bonus: the Thrawn cutout makes a very soft 'bonk' when it falls. and every time it does you get a harried looking Eli pop into the frame to prop it back up)

#extra bonus: the bonk is the only time Tarkin wakes up #no one knows why but the working theory is that he has everyone but Thrawn muted #sometimes when 'Krennic' is talking you'll hear the real Krennic yelling in the background #and Ronan Krennic will get up excuse himself and disappear out of frame until it stops #Yularen's nods are also very badly timed #sometimes there'll be complete silence and he'll just turn smile nod and go back to his paperwork #grand moff tarkin #orson krennic #brierly ronan #grand admiral thrawn #thrawn #wilhuff tarkin #wullf yularen #darth vader #director krennic
