During Tuesday's episode Ahsoka, titled "Far, Far Away," Lars Mikkelsen finally got to bring Grand Admiral Thrawn to live-action. The actor previously lent his voice to the villain in Star Wars Rebels, though Thrawn actually originated in Timothy Zahn's Expanded Universe trilogy of novels dubbed "Heir to the Empire."

The actor's take on Thrawn once again didn't disappoint and we're obviously eager to learn more about him over the next two weeks. Unsurprisingly, the Imperial is definitely up to no good and has seemingly aligned himself with Peridia's Nightsisters, raising an army of undead "Night Troopers" to do his bidding. 

We dread to think what became of them during the decade or so they were trapped in a distant Galaxy, including how they all ended up, well, dead. Either way, Thrawn seems perfectly happy to have a force willing to do anything and everything he commands courtesy of The Great Mothers and their dark magic. 

At first glance, all seems well with the Imperial despite the fact he's seemingly embraced the supernatural (which seems odd for someone so logical). On closer inspection, we see his pristine uniform is actually quite damaged and tattered, suggesting Thrawn is putting on something of a show. 

Could he have lost his mind during the time he's spent on Peridia or is he too only still around thanks to The Great Mothers? Like his ship, the Chimaera, and that seemingly undead army, it seems Thrawn is a little worse for wear and this definitely feels more important than a simple means of showing the passing of time. 

We still don't know what the villain is transporting back to his Galaxy but we'd bet on him having greater ambitions than simply crushing the New Republic. However, that may depend on whether Dave Filoni has taken into account Zahn's recent novels and what those revealed about Thrawn's desire to help his people, the Chiss. 

Let us know your thoughts on this newly revealed Ahsoka detail in the comments section.

Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. 

In addition to Rosario Dawson in the title role, the series stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger. 

Ahsoka was written by Dave Filoni, who executive produces alongside Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson, and Carrie Beck. Directors include Filoni, Steph Green, Peter Ramsey, Jennifer Getzinger, Geeta Vasant Patel, and Rick Famuyiwa. 

The first six episodes of Ahsoka are now streaming on Disney+.

Thrawns belly looking like he was sitting around depressed and doing nothing but eating Imperial Biscuits while exiled.

Or, and I know this is a stretch, he’s been on the same planet for several years and he doesn’t have a bunch of extra suits lying around.

@Oberlin4Prez - that sounds absolutely ridiculous. What’s more plausible is that he’s king of the space zombies, SHEESH read a book. Lol

Or - here me out - maybe his uniform has some wear and tear on it because he was stranded in another galaxy for a decade and the next imperial tailor was 100.000 lightyears away! Seriously, what is happening with Star Wars fans? Even when they finally like something for a change they keep snoke-ing themselfs. How the [frick] does a slightly worn uniform lead one to believe Thrawn must be a zombie? Especially since we've already seen Nightsister zombies before.

This is what that looked like!



Are we just witnessing an entire fandoms collective decline in their critical thinking skills or what is going on?

@Drace24 - exactly. “OMG Thrawn blinked. That just mean he is force sensitive!!!”

@Drace24 - cmon now....thats a rhetorical question. most of these fans that go w/ these stupid reach of articles are not 2 quick witted but they sure do love to make stupid theories involving how long thrawn has kept his uniform clean. Maybe think of his rank alone and that might explain why he keeps his uniform like that and also how much time has passed since the other series.

1) the troops were probably all killed by Ezra over the years and resurrected by the night sisters.

2) am I the only one who things Thrawn looks like Elon in blue face?

3) this whole thing is just to hype up whatever movie they have planned, I expect a big cliffhanger accompanied by a huge let down. It’s like an episode of Dragon Ballz with a character powering up the entire episode only to be continued next time! SMH
