Lars Mikkelsen has been confirmed to be playing Grand Admiral Thrawn in live-action, and the character's original creator has just given his approval.
The future of Star Wars is very exciting with the recent confirmation that Lars Mikkelsen will soon bring Grand Admiral Thrawn to live-action, and the character's creator has just given his approval. Having voiced Thrawn in the animated series Star Wars Rebels, fans had long been campaigning for Mikkelsen to continue playing the character in the live-action Ahsoka series and beyond.
"I visualize the characters in terms of attitude, not so much in time as voice or appearance. Lars Mikkelsen did a wonderful job with the voice. The actor is Danish. He doesn't really have an accent but he has a particular vocal cadence when he plays Thrawn which gives him a little alien side. He's the perfect cast."
Lars Mikkelsen Really Has Become The Perfect Thrawn Timothy Zahn's seal of approval is very significant. Having written The Thrawn Trilogy in the early 90s as one of the first major Star Wars authors, Zahn helped maintain fan engagement in the Star Wars franchise between the release of Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace. Much of that had to do with the characters he created, most notably Grand Admiral Thrawn who's a very different villain compared to Palpatine or Darth Vader.
