He a brilliant tactician who’s only limitation is that Tim Zahn can only write like four types of fight scenes. He can psychoanalyze entire cultures just from their art. He rivals Spock for the amount of secret siblings he has. He’s not like other Imperials he only wants his people to try their best. He has an alien bodyguard that will kill you with no hesitation. His likelihood of caring about collateral damage varies widely with each appearance. He knows Darth Vader’s secret identity. He has a custom paint job on his Star Destroyer. His employees love him and think he’s the best thing since sliced cheese. His coworkers think he’s annoying and hate his guts. He’s constantly taunting people into fighting him because his culture doesn’t believe in preemptive strikes. Everyone who writes him has to come up with a convoluted reason why he wasn’t in the galaxy for either Death Star. He’s not a bad guy, sometimes he sympathizes with the rebels. He’s the warlord of the Empire. He’s blue.
Thinking about Syril doing his own tailoring…. how did he learn? Did Eedy teach him or did he teach himself? Has he been sewing since he was a kid? What do sewing kits even look like in the gffa? Does he go fabric shopping? Does he genuinely enjoy doing it or is it just a necessity to him? I’m fascinated.
“There is a wound that won’t heal at the centre of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow and now it’s here. It’s here, and it’s not visiting anymore.”
