Rory McCann has been cast as Baylan Skoll for the second season of Ahsoka. We discuss this and more in this week’s Star Wars news.
In a positive sign for the future of the Ahsoka series, news broke that the role of Baylan Skoll, previously played by the late Ray Stevenson, has been filled. Dave Filoni went with a Game of Thrones alumnus Rory McCann. We discuss our reaction to this news in this episode of Podcast Stardust. Following our discussion of Rory McCann, we turn to an excerpt from Alexander Freed’s upcoming novel Reign of Empire: Mask of Fear.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The news that Rory McCann has been cast as Baylan Skoll for the second season of Ahsoka after Ray Stevenson’s passing,
- What we think of Rory McCann from his past work, including as the Hound in Game of Thrones,
- What this means for the second season of Ahsoka, and
- An excerpt from Alexander Freed’s Reign of Empire: The Mask of Fear.
