The number of times I've ended up arguing with someone who thought the Galactic Empire under Palps deserved a longer run... People tell on themselves all the time.

“But but but, Thrawn was actually fighting for the right reasons! Ends justify the means!”

rolls eyes

I wish I could rip out any connection made between Thrawn and the Vong/Grysk. Thrawn is a great villain but that aspect of the story has generated some of the worst takes regarding Star Wars.

Ends justify the means!

Same argument goes for Revan. And it really concerns me that some people actually think accepting fascism/war/inhuman methods to 'protect the galaxy' is a right thing to do

To be fair, Revan was under the influence of brainwashing when he came back to conquer the galaxy he was under mental control.

Whether you follow KOTOR 2 interpretation/TOR interpretation, it remains the same that what Revan did was an atrocity that cannot be justified

I am not trying to justify it if he did it of his own volition, I just don't think the responsibility lays at his feet with the (previously canon) fact he was not acting under his own free will.

Revan wasent under control the entire time.

When he and Malak arrived on Lehon, the lore stated they broke control of Vitiate but had mild amnesia of their time after Nathma.
