Who Will Be The New Face of Thrawn in Ashoka?

Thrawn won’t be portrayed by Lars Mikkelsen after all. For some, the real question is who will be the new voice of Thrawn on Ashoka as the voice actor’s distinct voice made the animated Star Wars: Rebels series character.  Mikkelsen was recently interviewed in the Express where he was asked if he wanted to revisit his character. After all rumors claim he has the role. When asked to definitively answer if he was to portray Thrawn in the Disney+ live action Ashoka, Mikkelsen answered. 

“I am aware of that, yes — Well, I haven’t had the offer. But yes sure.”

It’s a blow to some Star Wars fans due to his unique style in portraying Thrawn, but hope is not gone. Some outlets report the job still isn’t filled.

The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer

The Mandalorian, Season 3 comes to Disney+ on March 1!
The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together. The series stars Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackhoff, Carl Weathers, Amy Sedaris, Emily Swallow, and Giancarlo Esposito.

“You are a Mandalorian no more.” The new season of The Mandalorian starts streaming in Spring 2023 on Disney+.

A continuation of the acclaimed series, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, follows the adventures and misadventures of newly 14-year-old Penny Proud and her Proud Family as they navigate modern life with hilarity and heart. The 2020s brings new career highs for mom Trudy, wilder dreams for dad Oscar and new challenges for Penny, including a socially woke neighbor who thinks she has a lot to teach her, bullying social media influencers who want to cancel her and her own teenage hormones.

Penny’s friends return, including Dijonay, LaCienega, Zoey and Michael. Penny’s Suga Mama also returns, ready as ever to dispense tough love or a gentle hand whenever Penny needs it. Among the new faces are Maya and KG, new kids who have to deal with the struggles of being the new kid and having two dads, a first for Smithville.

400+ Found 1977 Star Wars Action Figures Go To Auction

What ten-year-old boy in 1977 buys almost every manufactured Star Wars action figure in Star Wars nascent journey to becoming Americana? In truth, none. Kenner couldn’t produce them in time for a Christmas rush and used an ‘early bird’ certificate to claim a small set later.  By 1985 the toy line ended, but not without leaving kids and collectors in fits throughout that time. Yet somehow, someone assembled some of the most coveted and unique figures of all time curating a collection now worth in excess of $20,000 to be auctioned off on February 1, 2023, by Morphy Auctions. You can review all of the action figures in the previous link to the auction with an embedded downloadable PDF of the complete listing on pages 6-110!  It even includes Kenner factory shipping boxes and unopened boxes of Star Wars trading cards (chewing gum included). The original owner’s name has been withheld but he’s said to be from Chicago, Illinois, and a friend of the auction owner.

Similar to how the Clone Wars became an important series to watch as it filled in many mysteries to the live-action series, every discerning Star Wars fan will be watching the Bad Batch in January coming in with 16 episodes starting January 4th.
