In a significant casting update for the highly anticipated second season of the popular ‘Star Wars’ series ‘Ahsoka’, it has been reported that Rory McCann is set to step into the role of Baylan Skoll. This casting change comes in the wake of the tragic passing of Ray Stevenson, who originally portrayed the character in Season 1. Fellow ‘Star Wars’ fan site, Star Wars News Net, confirmed the reports following discussions on various entertainment news platforms. McCann, known for his fan-favorite role as The Hound in ‘Game of Thrones’, brings a wealth of experience to the project, and his performance is eagerly awaited by fans. Stevenson, who died earlier in May at the age of 58, delivered a captivating portrayal of Skoll, making the character a standout in the inaugural season. Producer Dave Filoni expressed an admiration for Stevenson, stating, ‘Ray brought such depth to Baylan, and we will always be grateful for his contributions to the character and the series.’ As fans look forward to the next installment, the producers aim to honor Stevenson’s legacy while introducing McCann to the universe. Although detailed plot points for ‘Ahsoka’ Season 2 remain under wraps, the creative team looks to continue exploring themes of legacy, conflict, and the deeper connections within the Jedi Order. Season 2 is currently in pre-production, and no release date has been set yet, but excitement is palpable among the fanbase as new developments unfold.
