The July edition of Empire Magazine is out now, bringing a jam-packed 8 pages of Star Wars content with words from Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, Rosario Dawson, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, the late Ray Stevenson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Diana Lee Inosanto and Grand Admiral Thrawn actor Lars Mikkelsen, who explains why there’s a subtle change between his performance as Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars Rebels and the live action incarnation we’re about to meet in Ahsoka.
“I’m not losing the voice, but I am tweaking it into live-action. When you do an animated character, there’s a whole melodious approach. When you’re there as a real person, that would be just slightly too much.”
“I love the way he rises through the Empire, and the way he carries himself in that environment to become somebody. And then of course, how can you not like a very clever villain? Thrawn takes the time to understand his opponent’s culture, and what they’re about. It’s lovely to be playing that.”
We now have a premiere date – Wednesday 23rd August, so stay tuned to Fantha Tracks, TV, radio and social streams for the latest news and reviews of the show.
