Game of Thrones star is replacing the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka season 2

Game of Thrones star Rory McCann will replace the late Ray Stevenson in Ahsoka season 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Stevenson played former Jedi Baylan Skoll in season 1 of the Star Wars series before he died in May 2023, three months before the show’s premiere. One of the show’s antagonists, his character was a fan favorite. “I think he would’ve been over the moon. The big regret here is that he didn’t get to experience that,” showrunner Dave Filoni said after his death. “I’m glad he was at Star Wars Celebration with us, that he got to see the trailer and get a taste of that from the fans. And they’ve been nothing but wonderful about Ray and the character.”
