The cast and fans of the Disney+ Star Wars series "Ahsoka" have been commemorating the late actor Ray Stevenson, who last appeared on the show as the complex mercenary character Baylan Skoll. Stevenson's final performance was in Episode 8, "The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord," and saw his character standing beside stone statues symbolic of the Mortis Gods.

Ivanna Sakhno, who portrays Baylan’s apprentice Shin Hati on the show, honored her late co-star on Instagram. She posted an image of "The Wolves Pursuing Sol and Mani" painting, dedicating it to Stevenson. Ahsoka Tano's actress, Rosario Dawson, also paid tribute by thanking him for "deepening and enriching" every moment. Morgan Elsbeth actress Diana Lee Inosanto, Sabine Wren actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo, and Ezra Bridger actor Eman Esfandi shared their respects as well.

Outside of the show's stars, many fans expressed their admiration for Stevenson’s contribution to the Star Wars universe, specifically his work in developing the Baylan Skoll character. Stevenson passed away earlier this year at 58 and had a significant impact within the Star Wars community, voicing Gar Saxon in "Star Wars: Rebels" and "The Clone Wars", before playing Baylan Skoll.

The final episode of the Ahsoka series was released on October 3, hitting an emotional pinnacle and setting up significant threats to the galaxy's future, while also allowing its characters a sense of completion and hinting at potential optimism. Stevenson's absence from future episodes will undoubtedly leave a gap in the series, as his contribution was significantly appreciated by cast, crew, and fans alike.
