“For our friend, Ray.” Those words appear at the end of the first episode of Ahsoka, the new Disney+ original that is both a spinoff of The Mandalorian and a live-action follow-up to Star Wars Rebels. Its connections to those two series mean Ahsoka is overflowing with familiar faces, including Rosario Dawson’s eponymous former Jedi, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Hera Syndulla, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s Sabine Wren. But there are also several new faces featured in Ahsoka, and none more notable than Ray Stevenson’s Baylan Skoll.
