I’m glad that the show has steadily improved throughout the season. Im actually looking forward to new episodes now instead of watching out of a sense of ritual obligation.
The show’s casting has been very hit or miss for me. I love Mikkelson as the voice of Thrawn, but be doesn’t quite look the part and I kind of wish they had recast. Ezra on the other hand is terrific. I don’t know where they found this guy, but I bought him 100% from the jump and his reveal didn’t disappoint.
Conceptually I understand what you mean with Mikkelson but the voice is just too perfect. I think the slightly goofy appearance will fade as the character continues to appear. I think it's just a little jarring at the moment, but that will fade.
For Ezra, I'm actually not as immediately sold. I don't have any complaints, I just don't think we've seen enough of him yet. Plus years have gone by so characters are going to change.
I really wish they'd gone with Benedict Cumberbatch, who both has the look and the voice of Thrawn. But I still think Mikkelson will deliver a satisfying portrayal.
I thought Ezra looked bad on the hologram, but seeing the actor now "in real life" with the beard he looks great.
