Is this a way that Treknology could defeat a Jedi?

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Thrawn a latent Force-user? Wouldn't bringing an Ysalimiri with him put a damper on his own game?

Please explain these things to me, I'm confused.

(BTW, hanging out w/ you people is making me remember how much I used to love playing TIE Fighter on PC, and that's making me nostalgic about SW, which at one point I swore I would never be... :grrr: and yet :twisted; )

Thrawn was simply an incredibly talented tactician, a quality which official material seems to indicate is inherent to the Chiss species. By Chiss standards, the only unusual thing about Thrawn is that he was willing to conduct offensive warfare, something that Chiss culture considers dishonorable.

They havent. But then again, they've never faced a Jedi either...

Im not saying they would, I'm just saying they could, if they had anything resembling brains. Now we know they dont, so they wouldnt.

Taking precautions. He figured a Dark Jedi could be present. After all, it was the emperors personal storage vault. I still think the cloning equipment and possibly the cloaking devices were Thrawns main objectives. Otherwise he wouldnt gotten so many Ysalamiris. A handfull would have been enough to confront Joruus C'baoth.

If the Chiss were smart, they wouldn't have nav computerless <300 meter ships stuck in the Unknown Region.
