Sorry, I Don’t See Robert Downey Jr. as Star Wars’ Grand Admiral Thrawn

The thing is, I wouldn't be mad if it did end up being Robert Downey Jr. because I trust him. He's an incredible actor and he knows how to work with Jon Favreau so having them back together for Star Wars would be a treat. I just also think there are better characters for him to play throughout the galaxy and someone else can bring a different take to Thrawn.
