wow ! That photo of Charles Dance looks spot on for Thrawn . Is that a personal photo of him or from his role in a movie ?

I just googled Charles Dance and came across it randomly, but from what I’ve gathered its from a 1989 biopic called Goldeneye where he played Ian Fleming.

While watching Game Of Thrones , I thought he would make a great Imperial villain for Star Wars , but never considered him for Thrawn , as Tywin Lannister commanded respect through fear ,whereas those under Thrawn respected him out of Loyalty and his willingness to stand up for them .( The ensign he had Rhuk execute in Heir to the Empire notwithstanding ) .

Agreed. He’d make a great Moff. Or a villain of any SW era really.

I think the audio book narrator that imitates Mikklsen that Bonez mentioned is Marc Thompson . Marc Thompson actually did his own take on Thrawn before that in the 2oth anniversary audiobook of Heir To The Empire ,and I thought he did an awesome job on all of the male characters in that one. He later changed his voice to impersonate Mikklsen after Thrawn debuted on Rebels .

Ah, I didn’t know it was the same guy. I haven’t heard any Heir to the Empire audiobook versions yet, so I’ll have to check out the 20th anniversary version at some point (I do have the hardback though, with all the little BTS notes in the margins).
