Here’s comes the general! Oh, sorry, Grand Admiral.Screenshot: LucasfilmWhen it became clear that the upcoming Star Wars Disney+ series, Ahsoka, was going to be a sequel to Star Wars Rebels, everyone had one question: Who is playing Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of the biggest, baddest Star Wars villains who has never been seen in live action?
