The Mikkelsen brothers are one hell of a pair of actors, they’re smart, handsome, intelligent and of course, do their job like no other. While Mads Mikkelsen may be the popular casting choice for most directors, let’s not forget that Lars Mikkelsen, who is the older of the two, does a great job both as an actor and as a voice actor. !
Lars Mikkelsen is 58 and his age doesn’t seem to matter to the actor, in fact the science of our voices becoming more hoarse with age would have helped the actor land a role he left in 2018! For the uninitiated, he is the voice of General Admiral Thrawn in star wars rebels, and he is said to be back as Thrawn live.

Crazy, isn’t it? We can totally see Mikkelsen playing the military leader Chiss, he even looks the part! And of course, his raspy, calm, yet intimidating voice will definitely send shivers down our spines, considering the rumors are true.

Fans Rejoice in Reported Recast of Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn

A notable omission is Ahsoka’s voice actor from Star Wars Rebels. Rosario Dawson was the preferred choice to portray Ahsoka on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and rebels voice actor Ashley Eckstein, which makes sense because Dawson’s skin color is more aligned with Ahsoka’s skin color.
Either way, fans were nothing but thrilled to hear of the rumored retaliation from Mikkelsen and these tweets only sum up their joy-
Holy shit they did!

PERFECTION

We weren’t messing around when we said he looked the part-
Pleasant. He is the perfect and unique cast. Jason Isaacs might pull it off because he’s good at playing a bad guy, but Lars has the cheekbones for it and he’s also the voice actor, so a win-win

Lars Mikkelsen already has the creepy voice of Thrawn, and he looks the part. It would be wonderful if those reports came to fruition, because honestly, we don’t see anyone else playing the admiral.
Ahsoka is slated for a Disney+ release in 2023.
