The Hollywood Reporter broke the news yesterday: contrary to what some fans theorized, Baylan Skoll will not die off-screen or mysteriously disappear in Ahsoka season 2. Late actor Ray Stevenson will be replaced by Rory McCann, who, among other things, appeared in Game of Thrones before.
Baylan was too essential of a character to write him out of Ahsoka season 2, with various plot threads unresolved, so a recast was the only sensible option.
Ahsoka season 2 is currently scheduled to release sometime in 2026.
What are your thoughts on this?
The character will live on
