Eli isn’t short.
Hear me out.
First of all, we know Thrawn is tall (I think like 6’5" if I remember correctly), plus he’s buff buff… and if Eli is ~only~ two shirt sizes smaller than Thrawn, he’s probably around 5’8" or maybe 5’10".
Granted this is based on the idea that the Star Wars galaxy has a similar shirt sizing system to us. But…
All things considered, Eli is probably an average guy.
I headcanon that Eli is around 172cm sooo 5’7"? Thrawn is about as tall as Kallus who is 190cm in canon. Thrawn’s height isn’t confirmed but I assume it’s around that.
I just estimate Thrawn’s height by comparing him to Kallus, and he seems maaaaarginally taller.
*Star Wars – the land of tall bros. Unless you’re not.
Like I said, they haven’t confirmed Thrawn’s height yet but yeah, I would say he’s 193-5cm based on rebels? sooo 6’4"?
Eli ain’t short. He just has a tall admiral broski 😛
*Eli at like some board meeting surrounded by Thrawn and Kallus and Vader and like all the tall Imperials and just has to keep telling everyone he’s not short.
Eli spends the entire meeting hanging around Yularen and Pryce to feel normal… >.>
…. I’m going to hate myself for even suggesting it but…
…Lyste.
