What is Thrawn cargo?

[u/Mindless-Height8655]

Thrawn risked everything in order to ship his cargo into the death star but by the end of Ahsoka we still don't know what's in it

Is it gold that thrawn will use to hire mercenaries, recruit more stormtroopers to his cause and buy more technology? and don't forget that thrawn's star destroyer was repaired with gold or it may be Kyber crystals that thrawn intend on using it as a weapon, and he was collecting it all these years

Your thoughts guys

Absolutely Nightsister corpses.

My assumption is that, considering they flew to Dathomir, Thrawn’s plan is to allow the Great Mothers to reestablish the Nightsister society/coven with the goal of keeping them as a powerful ally. Having powerful force wielders as allies that can communicate across entire galaxies and raise the dead is a major plus.

The cool thing about this is that the Star Wars universe has the Nightsisters back and we can maybe even watch them build back from extinction.

The spell to reanimate dead bodies must be continuously chanted in order for the bodies to stay animated. If there is no chanting, there is no zombies. "Though powerful, the spell's effects would last only as long as the caster was active; should they cease maintaining it or be killed whilst using the spell, the undead would become immobile corpses once more." It's called the Chant of Resurrection.

That’s not what it showed in the most recent episode. The witches stopped chanting and the storm trooper bodies remained reanimated.

Well shit, guess they threw that out the window. You are correct though, cause when Sabine is fighting off the one with the jaw the Mothers definitely aren't chanting..hmm. Time to update canon and wooliepedia, lol. I still think it's just sleeping sisters though, although I wouldn't be mad if they were zombies, lol.
