Instead of ignoring her constituents like most people in this sort of sinecure, she decides to passionately and successfully advocate for her needs. Her advocacy is annoying to powerful people and therefore inconvenient to her boss. But her boss can’t fire her for actually doing her job, so he solves the problem by moving her to a more powerful position.
Her needs? Their needs?
the 501st Legion inexplicably doesn’t betray Darth Vader either
doesn’t inexplicably?
(The obvious change would be: not having some equivalent of the force choking scene with the underlings(?). Less ‘mass defection’ more ‘trouble among the ranks, brutally suppressed by Vader’.)
It doesn’t make any difference to the plot that … Thrawn is a competent manager: the 501st Legion inexplicably doesn’t betray Darth Vader either,
I had trouble parsing this too. But I think “inexplicably doesn’t” is correct, as in “they don’t betray Thrawn, but that’s not because he’s a competent manager: they also don’t betray Vader, for some reason”.
