Star Wars: Ahsoka Show Casts Ray Stevenson As Villainous Admiral (Not Thrawn)
Ray Stevenson has joined the cast of the upcoming Star Wars series, Ahsoka, as one of the main villains. Introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the character of Ahsoka Tano was originally a controversial addition to the Star Wars universe by fans at the time. However, as the series went on, the character became a more beloved part of the series lore and was welcomed by audiences when she appeared in Star Wars: Rebels and made her first live-action appearance in The Mandalorian, played by Rosario Dawson.
In December 2020, during Disney's Investor Call, it was confirmed that Ahsoka was getting her own series on Disney+ that would tie into the events of The Mandalorian as well as then-announced series,Rangers of the New Republic and The Book of Booba Fett. The series is expected to pick up on plot threads hinted at in her episode of The Mandalorian, namely her quest to find Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was last seen in Star Wars: Rebels. The series has already cast Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Rebels character Sabine Wren as well as Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ivanna Sakhno in unknown roles.
