Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) by Martin Zavala

Grand Admiral Thrawn, even more so than Lex Luthor, is my favorite character in all of fiction. Since I was a little boy, I’ve waited for the Grand Admiral to make his live action appearance. My wait ended last year when Lars Mikkelsen portrayed Thrawn on the Disney Plus show, Ahsoka. Lars’s cool, calculating demeanor brought the Grand Admiral to life and made the kid in me squeal with excitement. So when I stumbled across this airbrush painting of Thrawn, signed my the Grand Admiral himself, I knew I had to have it. Martin Zavala did an amazing job capturing Lars’s likeness and it’s still the best attempt I’ve seen to date. Long live the Empire!!!
