Lars Mikkelson OUT as Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars Ahsoka Series!

After the Star Wars expanded universe was officially decanonized with Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, many were outraged to see iconic characters and lore left behind. The Mandalorian has since brought several popular characters from animation and the expanded universe into live-action - including Ahsoka Tano, Bo-Katan Kryze, and more.

Since beginning her journey as the young Padawan to Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars, Ahsoka returned in Rebels as a far more mature and seasoned Jedi. She later made her live-action debut in The Mandalorian - played by Daredevil's Rosario Dawson - which teased her hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Having initially been introduced in the expanded universe, the Empire Grand Admiral made his first canon appearance in Star Wars: Rebels. The Chiss villain was defeated by Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger in the animated finale, with the two of them last seen jetting off into the great unknown of hyperspace together.

With Ahsoka on the hunt for Thrawn, and presumably Ezra, both are expected to play starring roles in her Disney+ solo series. Actors have yet to be confirmed for either role, even with filming supposedly right around the corner, with one widely-believed casting rumor having just been seemingly debunked.

Popular insider MyTimeToShineHello has now hinted to the contrary that casting has only just been completed for Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn. Meanwhile, Cinelinx editor-in-chief Jordan Maison claimed that last he had heard, despite previous reports, Mikkelson wouldn't be reprising his role as Thrawn.
