Star Wars Casts Grand Admiral Thrawn, Reveals Actor In Extended Ahsoka Trailer

:0:0

Lucasfilm has finally confirmed who will play Star Wars' Grand Admiral Thrawn in live-action. Created by legendary science-fiction author Timothy Zahn, Grand Admiral Thrawn was one of the most compelling villains of the old Star Wars Expanded Universe. The only alien to ascend to such a high rank in the Empire, he was useful to Palpatine because of his strategic genius and tactical skill; Zahn modeled the character on Sherlock Holmes, giving him the ability to intuit his opponents' strategies. Although these stories were rendered non-canon (or "Legends") after Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, Thrawn made the jump into a new era in Star Wars Rebels and several new canon novels by Zahn. The Mandalorian season 2 set a live-action Thrawn up as the franchise's next major villain.
Lucasfilm has now confirmed Lars Mikkelsen will play Grand Admiral Thrawn in the live-action Disney+ TV shows, bringing one of the greatest villains of the Expanded Universe to life at last. Mikkelsen was revealed in the role through an extended Ahsoka trailer, played exclusively for Star Wars Celebration attendees, including Screen Rant. He had previously voiced the character in Star Wars Rebels and was the subject of much Ahsoka fancasting prior to this official confirmation.
