Given Disney have been aggressively taking down all versions of it on Twitter, I'm assuming not. Edit: it's apparently an AI upscale of a much worse-quality pic taken at Celebration, which has smoothed out a lot of detail. I hope it looks better on the show itself, because that's some really creepy looking uncanny valley stuff going on right there.

Apparantly, Filoni has Zahn himself on as a consultant so they get Thrawn right.

That said, if you do a Google image search for "thrawn mikkelsen leak" it should show up in the thumbnails (clicking on them will just bring up notification that it's been removed), and he does look somewhat... Musk-like, which is not so great.

SW/Marvel crossover. If they can have three Spider-Men, they can have a Jedi meeting the Guardians of the Galaxy. There's the small problem that the Star Wars story is in the far distant past. Also, there still is a canon barrier around the galaxy that keeps the Star Wars populations stuck within their own galaxy or one of the satellite galaxies orbiting it. In fact, because the Yuuzhan Vong aren't canon anymore the opening in the barrier that they managed to traverse isn't a canon thing anymore.

I'm sure they could figure it out with the World Between Worlds. It opens paths to all time and space so they can write in all of the universe hopping you want in there. I hope they don't, because I don't watch Marvel movies, but it'd be possible.

I'd love to see a random "Bob the Jedi" be a random middle-of-the-road Superhero in the Marvel Galaxy.

Someone creates a thing which causes a thing, maybe even involving The Thing. Problem solved.

Return of The Jedi had its 40th anniversary re release this weekend. Did 4.7 million and took the 5th slot.

Feels almost like fan-baiting trickery considering how little it'll probably have in common with the beloved novel.

Color me excited even if its not exactly like the original trilogy. I'm just stoked that there's going to be a live action Thrawn. I'm pretty excited that he's going to be in the Ahsoka show too. Its funny this news comes out as I'm on chapter six of Heir to the Empire.

Better to shut it down than open it up to more people to be able to go to it without spending several thousand dollars for 3 days I guess.

That’s nuts. Didn’t last long at all. I figured it was doomed long term due to targeting a niche audience of rich Star Wars fan (but also good with the sequel trilogy) LARP enthusiasts, but that was faster than I expected.
