Star Wars Celebration is currently underway in London, and Lucasfilm has not disappointed when it comes to the major announcements it’s made. So far, fans have learned of the company’s exciting movie plans, which includes a feature that will mark the return of Daisy Ridley’s Rey. Aside from the big-screen fare though, Disney+’s Ahsoka has also taken center stage. A trailer for the upcoming show dropped and features Rosario Dawson’s return as the titular Jedi alongside some beloved Rebels characters. One of those familiar faces is Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the studio has now finally confirmed who’s playing. And lucky for you, you can check out the introduction for yourself.
It was officially confirmed on Saturday that Thrawn is going to be played by none other than Lars Mikkelsen – who originated the role on Star Wars Rebels. This is exciting news for the fanbase, as Mikkelsen was an absolute force (no pun intended) in the role of the sinister Imperial officer. And if you don’t believe how hyped folks are for his return, just check out the following video, which shows him being brought on stage:
