Disney still has three attempts to make the Star Wars brand successful again on the big screen. Under the aegis of Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, the once valuable cinema franchise developed into a non-starter. A restart should succeed with three new Star Wars films. One plays well before the prequel trilogy, another is already dubbed “Episode 10” in fan circles. And a third film is set to unite the heroines of the Mandoverse on the big screen.
What is Dave Filoni’s new Star Wars movie about?
American producer, screenwriter, director and voice actor Dave Filoni has been with Lucasfilm since 2008. He specialized in the animation sector of the star saga for a long time. Since 2019, the start of Disney Plus, he has also been involved in the live-action series The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka.
In his planned feature film, Dave Filoni wants all four series of the mandoverse unite on the big screen. In addition to the three shows listed above, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew with Hollywood star Jude Law (Peter Pan & Wendy, Fantastic Beasts) will probably join in the summer or fall of 2023. Since Darth Vader has already been cremated by the time of the Mandoverse, a new villain is needed.
This iconic character could be the new villain in the Star Wars movie
If you’re a filmmaker Dave Filoni Hearing such ravings in an interview, one can get the impression that the villain planned for Star Wars: Ahsoka is also planned as the main villain in the new movie. At Grand Admiral Thrawn is a cult character of the legendary novels by, which are no longer part of the canon Bestselling author Timothy Zahn.
In the new Star Wars series: Ahsoka, Mitth’raw’nuruodo, the real name of the Grand Admiral, will make his live-action debut. An actor who has already played him in will slip into the undoubtedly demanding role Star Wars: Rebels lent his voice. It is Danish character actor Lars Dittmann Mikkelsen, the older brother of Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).

When asked who could be considered the main villain of the Mandoverse era, filmmaker Dave Filoni confirmed that it was “definitely”. Grand Admiral Thrawn acts. “When Timothy Zahn was writing ‘Heir To The Empire,’ Thrawn became this iconic villain because he was unlike anything we’d seen before.”
The director of possibly for 2027 about the upcoming Star Wars movie, he’s raving: “As you know, he’s not just another villain with a helmet and lightsaber. He’s the defining figure of this era. We’re lucky this character to have and lucky that Lars Mikelsen plays him.” That definitely sounds like it Grand Admiral Thrawn called for something greater than “just” being a regular villain in another Star Wars series on Disney Plus.
