Before watching Ashoka I'd have had a different attitude, but gosh, as good as he was doing voice for Thrawn in Rebels, he was terrible and stiff/clunky in Ahsoka, with the same dialogue writer, dragging scenes down instead of pulling them up. Maybe Tony Gilroy's writing and showrunning could save him, but I'm skeptical.Also, on a more practical note, Thrawn is kind of a massive distraction from the kind of story that Andor seems to be (very successfully so far) trying to tell, because he's kind of a weird figure relative to the fascism of the Empire, an outsider, not really an Imperial, with a complicated backstory and an eccentric personality. So they'd have to use him sparingly enough that none of that needed to be acknowledged or dealt with. In a much longer show (like the original five seasons), they could definitely have explored outsider opportunists like Thrawn and their relationship to fascism though.</blockquote>
