In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Liam Crowley about M3GAN 2.0, Ivanna Sakhno was asked about Rory McCann coming in as Baylan Skoll for Ahsoka season 2, sharing “he is so depthful and has such immense respect for Baylan and also for what Ray has created”.
“We are actually currently in the middle of filming Season 2 in London. I came to New York for a few days [for M3GAN 2.0 press] and we’re very much one-fourth of the way [done with Ahsoka Season 2]. It was a great loss when Ray passed and something that nobody took lightly. But I have such gratitude for Dave and Lucasfilm and for them putting so much time and attention into finding the right person to continue Baylan’s story and Rory couldn’t have been a better choice. He is so depthful and has such immense respect for Baylan and also for what Ray has created, which allows for him to really bring his own into Baylan’s shoes. So watching him doing it has been a gift. And, of course, we all feel Ray’s presence as well and guidance. I feel immense gratitude and Rory is a dream to be around.”
