More Eli Vanto in our lives

A life path may change because of important decisions or events.

Those were what drove my current path.

But sometimes the smallest event can also drive a turn.

In the case of Eli Vanto, that force was a single, overheard word.

Chiss.

It's where I'm supposed to be."

Did Thrawn have friends? Eli or anyone else? Had he had friends when he was growing up in the Chiss Ascendancy, or had he always been different, the oddness of his mind leaving his young peers bewildered or resentful? How unique was Thrawn?

I need more Eli Vanto in my life.

Probably, Thrawn does too.
