YMMV / Outbound Flight

Go To

  • It Was His Sled: It is a well-known fact between Thrawn fans that he has a brother named Thrass that only appears in the Outbound Flight duology and is also dead, hence why he only appears there.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: One has to wonder if Anakin and Obiwan only appear in Outbound Flight out of some mandate, as they contribute relatively little to the plot, besides fanservice and reminding us of the story placement. They also get conveniently pulled out of the plot in the last third, due to having to adhere to canon.
  • The Woobie: Lorana Jinzler. Aside from Obi-Wan she's the single most unambiguously "good" character in the story. Despite this she had everyone in the story she cares about killed, come to hate her, or turn evil, finally giving her life to save those who'd never know about it and continue to vilify her and her Jedi Order.
  • Woolseyism: In the Japanese translation, when Thrawn introduces Thrass as his brother ("This is my brother."), Thrawn refers to Thrass as his younger brother (otouto) instead as there is no informal word for just "brother" (ani is for "older brother" and kyoudai is to refer to multiple brothers/siblings). This is the only source that clarifies who is older between Thrawn and Thrass.
