"This time around, we had the element of surprise on our side... I imagine they would have tried to put up more of a fight, had it been otherwise."
Relatively few numbers to deal with, and the element of surprise. Ideal conditions for anyone to gain the upper hand. Altair wasn't so arrogant as to think all fights against this foe would be so easy, though he was certainly confident so far as his skill went. After all, it took a shrewd mind and great mastery in the ways of the Force, to get to where he had been, in his own time.
Still, this was an opponent that frightened even someone like Thrawn, to the point that it could be seen on his face, sometimes heard in his voice. And Altair trusted Thrawn's judgment in such things. Having seen what they'd done to the humans, too, he knew that this was no ordinary enemy. He'd seen violence before, but that had just been gruesome.
As Eli went to the console, he took up a defensive position, to make sure no one could get the drop on them.
"I see. Good to know for the future."
It meant that he'd only try to capture one should Thrawn order it, and otherwise would be going for the kill, after all, and knew what to prioritize should more be lurking around- though their immediate area was clear of any enemy.
