Killing the saboteur did something similar. So the execution and the promotion together had value to motivate his crew toward what he expected. Thus he killed one for being incompetent and unmotivated and promoted another for being creative and showing initiative. In a similar situation, the tractor beam operator tried something on the fly to sift through and get it to lock through the debris. The escaping craft used the debris of a torpedo explosion or something to confuse the targeting computer and the gunner just kind of waited for it to clear. The reason was the gunner basically showed no initiative. However, in a similar situation, he promoted a tractor beam operator who failed. He had his bodyguard kill a bridge gunner on the spot after he failed to shoot something down (no disobedience or insubordination). He doesn't care it was "cruel" or "inhumane". He saw this as a way to immediately put a stop to this type of behavior and used it. He is a strategist and a ruthlessly pragmatic one. The thing is, he is absolutely ruthless, but only when he feels like it is the most expedient way to accomplish a goal. ![]() He's ultimately not a good person exactly, maybe comparable to someone like Von Braun who was ultimately still a fucking Nazi despite mostly caring about advancing rocketry( Mandatory Tom Lehrer ), but I still find it hard to reconcile the outright evil Saturday Morning Cartoon villain he is in Rebels with the much more nuanced "What if Sherlock, but respectable Naval Admiral?" vibes you get from the books. He's embedded himself in the Empire solely because it's the only tactically sound choice he has to stop an oncoming invasion, and he regularly shows empathy and respect to his enemies while on occasion trying to counsel Palpatine against the most insane of his urges despite Thrawn being a pretty brutal tactician in his own respect. You get a much closer sense of Thrawn's thought process and motivations, which makes it clear that he has pretty much no interest(and even a distaste for) the typical Imperial way of doing things. ||| Join our Discord! ||| Question?
