Star Wars Celebration has unveiled our first glimpse of Rory McCann stepping into the role of Baylan Skoll for Season 2 of Ahsoka. For those new to the series, McCann is taking on the mantle of Baylan after the untimely passing of Ray Stevenson, who originally portrayed the character.
Although we haven't seen McCann in action yet, the Ahsoka panel at Star Wars Celebration provided a first-look image, which you can view below.
Ray Stevenson, known for his roles in Thor, RRR, Punisher: War Zone, Rome, and more, tragically passed away from a brief illness just three months before Ahsoka's premiere. Many fans and critics alike felt that Stevenson's performance as Baylan was a standout in the series.
Ahsoka's creator, Dave Filoni, expressed that losing Ray was one of the most significant challenges faced during the development of Season 2, emphasizing that Stevenson was "the most beautiful person on screen and off."
During the panel, Filoni and the team also shared insights into what fans can anticipate in Season 2. Notably, Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker, joined by characters such as Admiral Ackbar, Zeb, Chopper, and more.
In our review of Ahsoka's first season, we noted that the series "struggles in its early episodes as it works to bring viewers up to speed on characters and concepts from Dave Filoni’s animated Star Wars shows. However, once the actors and cosmic plots are given room to shine, Ahsoka strikes a wonderful balance of rich lore, humor, and epic battles, evoking the essence of classic Star Wars while paving the way for something fresh and exciting."
