  • Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll gave us not just a great new character but also a performance to admire and love from the late great actor who sadly passed this year before the Ahsoka Series came out. He would not come to see the fans show love for him and I wish that he could be here to see it.
    With that in mind, this video here is meant to be a tribute to him as the character of Baylan but to also showcase the greatness of the actor Ray Stevenson.
    R.I.P Ray.

    Hi everyone! I wanted to give more context to this video then what was stated in the description. You’ll notice I never once intercut in footage from other Star Wars properties. That’s something you might have noticed in other edits people have made out there on RUclips. That was something I didn’t want to do with mine for Baylan. This video is meant to really just let Ray Stevenson’s amazing performance shine. I didn’t want anything else to distract from that. I’ve loved all the edits that I have seen on RUclips where people have done that, but for me, this was solely about Ray. I wanted this video to let his performance speak for itself through his words, face and mannerisms. Truly a great actor. Just wanted to let you all know why I took a different approach then what other people have done. Also, you’ll notice at the end I didn’t include sound effects for the lightsabers. This was mainly due to some editing issues that prevented me from putting them in. At the same time if I included the original audio with the music, there could be a possibility I get hit with a copyright infringement which would mean no one could see the video. Hope that makes sense! My editing abilities are growing and I wanted to take my time and get it right. It’s the simplest, yet hardest video I’ve ever made. I am passionate about Star Wars and about lending my voice to storytelling. This is another step in that direction. Once again, rest in peace Ray Stevenson…

    While I have never watched "Ahsoka", I have seen Ray Stevenson in numerous movies and he ALWAYS had a level of gravitas and sheer presence in everything he did. I remember first seeing him in the movie "King Arthur" as Dagonet and even though he didn't say much, he was impossible to ignore or forget. Same with his roles in "Rome" and "The Three Musketeers" and others, you were always aware of him. Watching these clips of him as Baylan Skoll, it is easy to see why so many absolutely LOVED his character. He was an amazing actor and will definitely be missed. RIP Ray.

    The one thing that gave me chills about Baylan's statements to being called to something, or someone, is the statues of the Mortis Force Beings, and how he stood on the Father's hand which pointed to the distance, we know in Old Legends there was a Mother who was locked away, what terrifies me is she was as powerful as all three of the others combined, so if they bring Abeloth back, that is going to be an enormous point of horror in Star Wars returning.

    The Jedi order was unfit, they're not built to give order. Baylan is a first glimpse of what the balanced Sith Empire is capable of, but he had no Empress to serve, and the Universe had no reason to willing accept an Empress (Rey), but Ray set out make that so. "trained to be something more." Awww... take your place Shin. Ray leads to Rey. "Fear is nothing to be ashamed of..." "Experience." You will be remembered Ray, deeply 🖤 The cycle has come to an End. Baylan Force ghost?
