Ahsoka Season 1 gained a reputation for the sheer amount of returning characters, from Ahsoka Tano herself to Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, Ezra Bridger, and Thrawn. But its secret weapon was its fleet of new characters, including the Great Mothers and Shin Hati. The most interesting new character, the Order 66 survivor turned lone wolf Baylan Skoll, became a quick fan-favorite due to the nuanced and dedicated performance of Ray Stevenson, who passed away three months before Ahsoka’s premiere.
Season 1 of Ahsoka ended with Baylan starting an ambitious journey, leading fans to wonder just how the series could continue without him. Thankfully, it seems like Lucasfilm has found the best possible option, one that allows Baylan’s story to continue while also honoring the loss of one of the show’s greatest assets.
