And who plays him in the Disney+ series?
We've finally arrived at another galaxy far, far away in Ahsoka. Episode 6 took us straight to Peridea, a planet in a whole new part of the universe that's unfathomably far away from the main Star Wars galaxy, and finally introduced the main villain of this new era in the franchise, Grand Admiral Thrawn , in all his live-action glory, as well as a lot of his typical iconography, like the Star Destroyer Chimera and his own weirdly, almost fanatically loyal army.
Enoch Is the Captain of Thrawn’s Guard - But There’s Much More to These Troopers As we can quickly attest, Thrawn's Stormtrooper legion isn't a normal one. The broken, patched-up armors everyone is wearing, their fanatic chants, and disturbing discipline are not something your average Stormtrooper - the ones that can barely hit a mark a few steps away - would fit into. In fact, they aren't even identified as Stormtroopers by the Disney+ subtitles, but as "Nighttroopers.
In the first half of Ahsoka, we see Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati working with Marrok, the last Inquisitor. A lot of theories were made about who he could be, from an evil Ezra Bridger to a new canon version of Galen Marek , but when Ahsoka Tano finally strikes him down in Episode 4, it's revealed that Marrok was actually an undead person kept alive by Nightsister magick .
But Enoch's face mask is special. While it does have ties with Roman military iconography - and makes him look like a gladiator with his robes, too - it resembles more a funerary mask, the sort of which ancient people like the Greeks would put on their dead as a way of helping them to retain their identity in the afterlife. And once again we stumble upon the thread of reanimated undead people, because, if this is inspired by funerary masks, then Enoch is probably dead himself.
