It's been a long time coming.
The Big Picture If you felt a great disturbance in the Force this Tuesday night, as if thousands of voices cried out and were decidedly not silenced, but cheering: that was just the long-awaited arrival of Grand Admiral Thrawn to the live-action Star Wars universe. Animation fans were excited to see the likes of Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren re-imagined in a live-action setting, but Thrawn was unique from the start.
Although the Walt Disney Company purchasing Lucasfilm meant the Legends timeline Thrawn belonged to no longer counted as canon, Dave Filoni loved the character enough to re-introduce him through Star Wars Rebels. Zahn also penned six new bestsellers with Thrawn as the protagonist, all of which make a darn good case for siding with the "bad guy." So did Filoni: Thrawn wasn't just a malevolent force for the Rebels crew to barely survive, he was entertaining to watch.
Lars Mikkelsen’s Performance as Thrawn Remains Impressive With “Far, Far Away,” Lars Mikkelsen joins Katee Sackhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze as the only Star Wars voice actor to reprise their role in live-action. It's no wonder; Mikkelsen's Rebels work earned him an Annie Award nomination, which is the accolade of accolades in the animation world. He makes the transition seamlessly; Mikkelsen, an industry veteran, is a performer who slinks in and instinctively commands the eye.
