So our next military strength is... broken even? What difference(s) exactly are there if the military strength just gets back to 100% again and not higher?
If he wants to build a longer term empire, having his equivalent to the Jedi Order is always useful. Even if their priority isn't to be the government's agents, they'll still help keep the nation stable.
I don't think that necessarily follows. Just in Legends, the number of conflicts caused by Luke's fallen students is staggering. Kyp Durron and the Sun Crusher rampage, Desann and the Reborn, Brakiss and the Shadow Academy, Raynar Thull and the Dark Nest, Jacen Solo and his issues...and that's just the ones created by Luke's direct students! Sometimes it seems as though rogue Force users cause 90% of the conflicts in SW.
From Thrawn's perspective he would moreso be looking towards the past, and they were indeed of incredible use in protecting the Republic. From the Great Hyperspace War to the Jedi Civil War to the Great Galactic War to the New Sith Wars, they have been imperative in overcoming the Sith, not even mentioning all of the miscellaneous peacekeeping they've been doing. Personally I would very much recommend that they be more politically separated from the rest of the Empire of the Hand so as to prevent the Jedi problem of them being too attached to the government to make effective change and the Sith problem of leaders being too focused on their power in the Force and their philosophy to make the right choices for the nation.
On any individual naval battle I think Thrawn is fully capable of beating his opponents regardless, so in my opinion Jack would be fairly redundant. Plus like he mentioned his fleet is gone, so we're still starting from scratch more or less rather than straight up adopting the Blazing Chains sect as our own.
We aren't getting the blazing chain. He is trained in Blazing Chain techniques and in Matukai so that is what he will train them on.
That is... what I was saying. We aren't getting a culture and a fleet we are getting a single person who has their skills plus other odds and ends, mainly Matukai. Hence why it isn't really as big of a benefit in those particular regards.
The benefit is that it will create a group that is actually able to function as part of a larger military and be useful instead of just getting a bunch of people killed the way the Jedi and sith did when they led military units with no right to be in command of anything.
No that wasn't my point. The point is that they aren't ready to go yet. Jack is one person and needs time to get people up to snuff. In terms of military commanders we already have our own people to handle that, we have no need to put such a thing on a Force Sect's curriculum instead of making them better in their own unique skills.
Battle Meditation on the strategic level like Joruus C'Baoth or on the tactical level? Because we can probably get the latter more easily than the former.
None of them are ready to go, dude. Literally, all of them are starting as one person. And again you are missing the entire point of Jack which is to make a damn order that can actually handle working with the military in a way that doesn't just get people killed.
I already know this, Dude. I was explaining exactly that, which is precisely why he is redundant in my opinion. Every single organization will need time to grow and progress into something useful, and in this case we will need to still put resources into training military leaders here even when that job is already going to be covered by Thrawn and his subordinates. I do not want Force Users to lead men into battle I want them for their unique skills only, we can get talented generals and admirals from a much larger population base. Whether Nokkra, Jack, or Kanuas, I am against having them or their orders' members in positions of military command. In Jack's case, although I like the Force Powers that he can provide, I want an organization which is actually focused on being powerful Force Adepts rather than some half-assed captains, which cuts away a good chunk of what Jack provides.
And you are again missing the point of Jack he is not leading or training them to lead anything. He is training them to work with the military in large scale operations something none of the other offer. He is also offering the skills to actually counter the Vong's BS skills and abilities that make all other force users next to useless in a fight with then.
1. Then why did you only make reference to the Jedi fucking up during the Clone Wars due to being inexperienced commanders? Force Users work fine as long as they do not have to do that and can focus on using their powers in other ways, like as assassins, strike teams, interrogators, and Battle Meditation practicioners.
