Hoth Takes #41: Dawn of Thrawn

We’re just about a month away from the premiere of Ahsoka, the live-action series that will continue the story of Star Wars Rebels, give Grand Admiral Thrawn his long-awaited live-action debut, and set up a cinematic Mando-Verse crossover in a battle for the fate of the New Republic. But here at Hoth Takes, we might be more nervous than excited about Ahsoka. In this episode, Eric, Grace, and Haley discuss their hopes, fears, and expectations for the series, from how characters will be portrayed to how the story will unfold. Grace is worried about montrals and lekku, Haley wants to return to a mystical realm, and Eric is eager to see Thrawn and Ezra Bridger spend some quality time together. We also discuss what Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla are up to, how important Ahsoka Tano will be in her own show, and the unavoidable pitfalls of live-action adaptations of animated series.
