"I'm here because my Empire recently discovered your world. For now, our mission is thus: take videos of your society and edit them into a product that will show the citizens of the Empire how benevolent we are for not letting them live as you do."
Thrawn's tone still betrayed no outward emotion, but there was a hint of disdain in his words. He'd seen for himself that while this world wasn't at the same technological level as Coruscant, they were hardly primitive. They had magic, they had their own mechanical contraptions, and some had even found ways to combine magic with science. Thrawn's people didn't have certain technologies that the Empire had either, but that didn't make the Chiss primitive.
"Fear not, for cameras do not steal anything but moments in time."
