The purrgil are escorting Ahsoka and Huyang on an intergalactic mission as the search for Sabine, Ezra and Thrawn continues. 💙 Jenna 🧡 AHSOKA SPOILERS September 20, 2023 That is, until Ezra Bridger uses the purrgil to send himself and Thrawn into another galaxy for nearly a decade, bringing us to this episode. During the peak of the Empire’s reign, Thrawn was a brilliant and ruthless military leader with a keen sense of how to think several steps ahead of the Rebel Alliance. Here, he is played by the same actor who voiced him in that show, Lars Mikkelsen ( House of Cards, The Witcher, Headhunter). He quickly became a cult favorite among fans and was later officially brought into canon by Dave Filoni when he appeared in the animated series Rebels. If you’re unfamiliar with this mastermind strategist sporting blue skin and deep red eyes, he made his debut in the extended Star Wars’ universe in the 1991 novel by Timothy Zahn, Heir to the Empire. This week, our titular character wasn’t around too much as the camera focused on Baylan Skoll, Sabine Wren and, yes, GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN, who has finally made his live-action debut. Last week on Ahsoka, we got flashbacks and a heavy dose of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. SPOILER WARNING AHEAD FOR ALL STAR WARS CONTENT!
