The Top 10 Casting Choices For Grand Admiral Thrawn
Season 2 of The Mandalorian dropped some major plot point and characters. One of those characters that was just casually mentioned by Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) in “Chapter 13: The Jedi” was Grand Admiral Thrawn. Fans of the Star Wars Rebels show and Star Wars books know that Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the most feared characters within the Star Wars universe. Fans also love him because of how cool, calculating, and evil he can be. Ahsoka Tano mentions that she is searching for him in “The Jedi,” and that is one of the many reasons that she cannot take Grogu to train him. This led fans to believe that Grand Admiral Thrawn would be a part of the live-action Ahsoka series that is coming to Disney+. In the beginning of January, there were very heavy rumors that Lars Mikkelsen, who is Grand Admiral Thrawn’s voice actor in Star Wars Rebels, was cast to play him in live-action. Fans were ecstatic over these reports, as his rendition of the character in the animated show is just so good.

Blood Feud: Mandalorian Civil War
Mandalorians stand alone among other beings across the entire galaxy. Descended from the ancient Taung people, great warriors who regarded peace as a sin, the Mandalorians have proudly upheld their combative culture for generation. Originally nomadic, the Mandalorians eventually settled on a planet they named Mandalore when a rare iron ore was discovered under the planet surface. Beskar proved to be a nearly indestructible tool of battle for the settlers of Mandalore. Forging legendary armor that would become recognizable across the galaxy, the Mandalorians regarded Beskar as a gift from their gods of war. There have been countless conflicts between Mandalorian clans over the centuries, including several planetwide civil wars. This article will focus on the Mandalorian Civil War that engulfed most of the planet 20 years before the onset of the Clone Wars.

The Hidden Story Behind 'Shadows Of The Empire'
George Lucas doesn’t like writing, and it can take a while. So, in 1994, it became clear that Lucasfilm’s initial plan to release Star Wars: Episode I in 1997, on the 20th anniversary of the original film, was simply not feasible, as Lucas was still far from completing the script. This also meant the that release of the Special Edition of the original trilogy, which was slated for 1996, would have to be pushed back as well, to 1997.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Darth Vader
Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith and face of the Empire, became one of the most feared and powerful beings in the galaxy during the Dark Times. He is also one of the greatest villains in cinematic history, with his intimidating presence and iconic mask. While his feats are great and terrible, they are also extremely well chronicled in the Skywalker saga and the numerous novel and comic book spinoffs centered on the Dark Lord. However, there is plenty yet to be learned about the fallen Jedi who was once Anakin Skywalker, both in the canonical stories and those of Legends.

Opinion: Recasting Cara Dune Would Be Okay
By now, pretty much everyone who has their finger on the pulse of Star Wars news knows that Lucasfilm and Disney are no longer moving forward with Gina Carano's portrayal of Cara Dune in The Mandalorian or any other Star Wars projects due to her posts on social media. As expected, there is a question of whether or not the character should be recast. While some may argue that the character has a lot of baggage due to Carano and how she's being perceived now, I actually think that recasting the character could work.
