Live-Action Grand Admiral Thrawn Gets a Worthy Collectible

There’s no more brilliant tactician in the Galactic Empire than the evil Grand Admiral Thrawn. He’s a smart, cunning killer—and soon, you can put that blue baddie on your shelf and make him your property thanks to the team at Hot Toys.

Thrawn was first introduced over 30 years ago, in the 1991 novel Star Wars: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. Instantly, fans became enamored with this new type of Star Wars villain. However, a few decades later, his stories were wiped out of Star Wars canon, only to be reintroduced by Dave Filoni first in Star Wars Rebels and, this year, in Star Wars: Ahsoka. There, for the first time, Star Wars fans finally got to see Thrawn in all his physical glory, performed in live-action by his Rebels voice actor Lars Mikkelsen (brother of Rogue One and Indiana Jones star Mads Mikkelsen).

And now, Thrawn has the ultimate collectible: his very own Hot Toys. And it’s a thing of beauty. It isn’t expected to ship until late 2024 at the earliest, but you can preorder the $255 piece now at Sideshow and see more images in our slideshow.

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i
