Ahsoka episode 6 featured the introduction of some intriguing new characters, and they might have an interesting link to Kylo Ren. We’ll be getting into spoiler territory on 'Far, Far Away' from here, so make sure you’re up to date on the Star Wars spin-off before reading on.
In the latest episode of Ahsoka, we finally got to see Grand Admiral Thrawn make his live-action debut. Fittingly, the beloved Star Wars villain arrived with a typical flourish, and was joined by a whole legion of stormtroopers, called the Night Troopers.

Sharing the comparison on Twitter, user Kyrie Ó Corra posted some images from the latest episode along with some examples of the stunning artwork. "Loving the kintsugi aesthetic of Thrawns Night Troopers/Stormtroopers," they wrote. "Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with hardened lacquer dusted or mixed most commonly with gold."
