Awesome / Outbound Flight

Go To

  • The Chiss curbstomping the Trade Federation task force without a single casualty on their side, courtesy of Thawn's tactical genius.
    • Bonus points in the Chiss fleet consisting of a handfull of corvette/patrol-sized vessels and about an equal number of starfighters vs. a fleet calculated to be big enough to take on an entire Republic task force including literally thousands of droid starfighters.
  • The way Thrawn takes down the Vagaari leader.
  • The Batman Gambit of Survivor's Quest, whether it's Thrawn's own posthumous (or possibly pre-posthumous) gambit or Formbi's or some combination thereof.
  • A room full of thirty armed Vagaari. Two Stormtroopers of the Empire of the Hand. The Stormtroopers win, handily. The Empire of the Hand only sent four Stormtroopers to investigate Outbound Flight's final resting place, and they more than prove why four was enough.
  • Mara versus the wolvkil. They've already been shown to be immune to repeated blaster fire. Mara's facing several. They leap. She whips out her lightsaber and slices them in half. No more wolvkils.
    • As part of this, Formbi had asked Luke and Mara to not use their lightsabers while on his ship... so that when the Vagaari showed themselves, they'd have no idea how to counter the two Jedi. And it worked.
