[It hits him suddenly how little he knows about Thrawn other than his work for the Empire. He'd never heard of the Chiss until meeting him, and he knows even less about this Ascendancy they have. He's curious, as he always is, but it doesn't feel like now's the time to talk about it. Even if it might be more useful than talking in circles.]
And you're not wrong about Lothal. Not technically. It's possible the Empire will try to reclaim it. It's likely they'd want to make an example out of it too. But I saw Lothal. Its future. I wouldn't have chosen this path otherwise. [For all his snippiness, he doesn't truly believe he's the one who saved Lothal. He's the one who got Thrawn out of there, sure, but even that took a lot of help.] Lothal won't bow to the Empire ever again. Its people will fight back, they were fighting back the moment we jumped to hyperspace.
You said you've studied the Jedi, or as much as you could find. Then you should know we don't see the future, only possibilities. Whatever you think of me, you should also know that I didn't do any of this on a whim. I'd been planning it for a while, though no else knew. That way they couldn't give up the plan if they were captured, and more importantly... that way they couldn't stop me. This was the only path I had left to guarantee peace on Lothal.
As for the rest of the galaxy, I know about as much as you. Only difference is I have hope, hope that things will get better. I'm willing to bet that when we return, there won't be an Empire to worry about.
