Star Wars: Ahsoka Casts New Actor for Baylan Skoll Role
The Star Wars universe is expanding, and with it comes exciting news for fans of the series. The beloved character Baylan Skoll from "Ahsoka" is set to return in season 2, but with a new face. After the unfortunate passing of Ray Stevenson, who originally portrayed the character, the role has been recast. Rory McCann, known for his role as The Hound in "Game of Thrones," will take on the mantle. This change brings a fresh dynamic to the show, promising to keep audiences engaged and eager for more.
Baylan Skoll's New Journey
Baylan Skoll is a complex character, a Jedi who has fallen to the dark side. In the first season of "Ahsoka," Stevenson brought depth to this role, portraying a noble yet twisted former Jedi turned Sith mercenary. His quest for a map leading to Grand Admiral Thrawn set him on a collision course with Ahsoka, providing intense and thought-provoking encounters.
Rory McCann Steps In
With Stevenson's passing, the question of who would continue Baylan's story was on everyone's mind. Rory McCann, famous for his role in "Game of Thrones," seems like a perfect fit. McCann's portrayal of The Hound, a character with both noble and ruthless traits, suggests he can bring the same complexity to Baylan Skoll.
Why McCann is a Great Choice
- Experience with complex characters
- Ability to convey both nobility and ruthlessness
- Familiarity with epic, fantasy settings
What's Next for "Ahsoka" Season 2?

However, fans are eagerly awaiting the continuation of the series. Meanwhile, "Andor" is set to return for its second and final season, and "Skeleton Crew" has just wrapped up a successful first season.
As we wait for more updates, the anticipation for "Ahsoka" season 2 continues to build. With Rory McCann stepping in as Baylan Skoll, the series promises to deliver the same thrilling and engaging storytelling that fans have come to love.
