The death of Ray Stevenson, who played Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka, almost halted production of season two. Show creator Dave Filoni, visibly emotional at Star Wars Celebration Japan, revealed the character's importance, mirroring Ahsoka's journey. Continuing the story to honor Stevenson, Filoni and Jon Favreau recast the role with Rory McCann, aiming to uphold Stevenson's legacy. Filming for season two begins late April, with a potential late 2026 release.
