[@grahamstevenson8991]

Wow! On behalf of our family, thank you so very much for this amazing tribute. I’m his big brother and so proud of him and truly saddened that he didn’t get to see all of the love from everyone.. This is a wonderful edit and again on behalf of Rays family, all of us are so grateful. Thank you 🙏

[@panosdks]

I have no way of knowing if this is real but if it is, I’m in tears. You are the ever most welcome, my condolences to your family and may your incredible brother rest in peace. All the best.

[@grahamstevenson8991]

Your video has been passed on to all of our family members and Rays closest friends.. Thank you again 🙏

[@jordanmathews1557]

Thirteeeeenn!!! RIP Ray. You will be missed by all.

[@ethanlarsen4644]

I wish we could have seen more from him. But, he sees all the love and appreciates it. Physical Death is just another part of our journey in life, and he is still with us in spirit.

[@thalmoragent9344]

Man, to think Baylan and Shin would be these new characters we've never heard of before and yet have us truly captivated. Captivated with the potential Lore that may yet surround them. Baylan's PTSD and longing for the family the Jedi Order once gave him is... a tragedy on its own.

[@mehmetgurdal]

he's a truly interesting character with a distinct presence in the series. actually whan you think about it. he's one of a kind

Ray truly was brilliant. He stole every single scene he was part of. Even though we knew nothing of this character, he managed to convey so much depth, it became uncanny. May he rest in peace. Thanks for making this Pano, you did an amazing job as always.

[@caballeinsan1535]

100%. He was the only reason I stuck with the series. It’s sad he won’t be back. 😔

[@sam_i__]

Honestly looking back it, he might have been the best actor to take part of the whole star wars live action. So much said, so much conveyed with so little words.

[@logicaldude3611]

Phenomenal actor. Don't know anything about his personal life, but I do know he could act. He brought life to this character in a similar way to Alec Guinness in the original Star Wars. He captures every scene he's in. I feel bad for whoever has to replace him as Baylan. I almost feel like they will write his character out completely and make it a total mystery as to what happens. No matter who is put into the role, people will compare them to Ray.

[@GGrantMe22]

Simply the actor puts in the gravitas to express the struggle alot of older and seasoned adults feel with their job and society in general..the knowledge of past mistakes but being in the present to forge a different outcome with the future...

[@GP-qw8un]

You don't, they should leave this story arch a mystery.

[@JDElysian]

Baylan was by far my favorite character in Ahsoka. Hopefully Disney honors Ray by continuing his character.

Perhaps Gerard Butler could play Baylan.

[@donmeisner4438]

On one hand i don't want a recast because of how amazing Ray performed until the end. His legacy his last role. And then i really want to learn more about Baylan Skoll he seems like such an intersting character. If they should recast the role then maybe Vincent Regan would be a good choice

Dude carried this show lowkey. He really was able to convey the idea that his character was going through some serious shit and made it believable.

[@DarthDude44.]

Never underestimate an old man in a profession where young men die. He is as old as Anakin would have been, to survive so long is simply incredible. I wonder if he could meet Luke just once, and see the Chosen One's legacy in all it's splendor.

[@antioneatkins7724]

Ray was phenomenal in the series, and it’s a shame that we won’t be able to see more of him. Yet we can be very grateful and humbled that his last performance was to be a part of a great franchise, and his legacy will live on forever. #StarWarsForever #RIP

[@DaLoganFrost]

Well said. Don't be sad that Ray won't be around to play the part........ Be HAPPY it happened. In a DARK time for producing good Star War characters, Ray was a beacon of LIGHT! R.I.P Ray

[@HeroesFanProductions]

Loooved this so much man. Baylan Skoll had a fascinating mystery to him and a undeniable truth to his philosophy. The music you selected here had a melancholy to it that matched his essence so well! I still can't believe Ray Stevenson isn't with us anymore. A true tragedy because he's not here to receive the overwhelming love from this fanbase for his outstanding performance. Although he can *never* be replaced, I truly hope that whoever carries this character forward not only does Baylan justice, but does Ray justice as well.

[@sledgehammerlion]

I am honestly shocked how quickly he became one of my all time favorite characters in Star Wars. Genuinely a stunning performance. A deep character with tons of mystery and backstory. Ray, thank you for the impact you've had on this universe.

[@crusade5886]

A truly powerful and charismatic character. His appearance in Star Wars was refreshing and fun to watch. 1:15-1:26 love this part. Great video bro!

Ray was a treasure, and Baylan was one of the greatest characters ever.

As cool as it was to see him in his baggy Dark Jedi robes when Ahsoka first approached him, I'm glad they gave him a fur cloak and let his face be seen for the last scene.

RIP Ray Stevenson. Such a great actor for a fantastic character! Also fantastic tribute as always!! You gave me a few ideas for my version. I hope... mine also includes stuff from mortis as well. But mine will be different of course. Also nice touch at 2:50 with the daughter and the son and father.

[@MrAroone]

Well, now he is one with the Force. It is sad, but he brought so much. I really loved the character. A Dark Jedi with wisdom.

Baylan is truly the best aspect of the Ahsoka show. I hope his story will continue. He could end up being one of the greatest characters. Rip Ray Stevenson the 🐐

[@alnu8355]

I loved everything about this character. His pressence, his costume design (loved how he looked more like a medieval knight than a monk) his delivery of lines. Everything about him was on point. Even people who ultimently did not like the series have to concede he was great. I do not envy the next actor who has to fill in his shoes.

[@macklee6837]

He's so cool, I can't believe he's gone 😞

[@cw_edits]

epic tribute for an epic character man, rip ray stevenson. loved the edit at 2:50

[@BLBborn]

Ray and Baylan were the _only_ good things out of Disney in the past while. Filoni is really not a good writer but he may have just struck gold and with an actor who could make the interesting vagilities work. Power, focus, and life was Ray's performance. And while I do know that the majority of Filoni's work is just references to far better stories such as Arthurian lore or Norse mythology, I simply must pass on something I don't see many people mentioning: Baylan is not a name but rather a title. It is a Philippine word (or close to that region) which roughly translate to shaman or more acutely a person either already having a close relationship to or seeking out spirits both evil and good, and usually for other people rather than himself.

[@JIGgameoverSAW]

2:31 and further chills! Love how you included classic parts that matched the whole video theme!

[@danbookert]

one of those shows where the side character is actually the main character

[@jonbaxter2254]

Funnily enough, the best thing about this show. Not Thrawn, defo not Ahsoka. But this new character.

[@cbee213]

By far one of my favorite recent Star Wars characters, Ray was a perfect casting for the character. His demeanor, His tone, Hell even his physical build (He's VERY BROAD SHOULDERED) Just give me full on knight vibes. It's really a damn shame in a general sense that he passed away and in an acting sense, glad we got to see him introduce us to this absolutely stellar character before he left us far too soon. Rest in Peace Ray Stevenson, Wish you could've seen the positive response everyone has had for you! (This tribute is absolutely perfect and emphasizes how amazing many of the scenes he had were)

[@alnu8355]

I loved how his design made him look more akin to a europeon medieval knight rather than monk (like most Jedi). Whenever I think Jedi, I tend to think swift, nimble, finesse based martial arts. This guy was not only quick, but he also conveyed an intimidating raw physical strength. All of this backed up with one hell of a performance. This guy was easily the best new addition.

[@cbee213]

ABSOLUTELY AGREED! Couldn't have said it any better myself!@@alnu8355

Man it is incredible he is the real villain we never got. It is so interesting to see a darksider that is obviously very wise and calculating. Ray Stevenson's performance was so far above the writing for the show. I really wish we could get more conflicted villains like this. His portrayal of strength within uncertainty is unmatched.

[@barrysmith8078]

i went into ahsoka blind, thought "ah im sure it will have some fun moments even if its bad like alot of star wars content these days". i immediately loved Ray as Baylan, i was telling my mates things like "im like 3 episodes in, its a decent show.. only one really good character carrying the show" and that was baylan. such a shame to then find out Ray had actually passed away and we would not get to see more of him going forward. i dont know how they can replace him

[@Two4OneMusic]

Pls get more views. This is awesome

[@creedleader5583]

Dude I was watching this and so many ideas were flooding through my mind. Then I saw the comments and learned the actor had sadly died. If disney had done all these shows instead of the sequel trilogy to build all the lore up, and then given us a proper sequel trilogy THIS GUY would've been the best fucking villain ever. I can just imagine a ragtag team of Ahsoka, Ezra, Sabine, old Luke, and maybe Grogu coming together to fight Baylan Skoll. Now we'll just have to constantly have the thought of "I wonder what Baylan's up to atm" for every star wars release after this. That said I hope his character doesn't get recast. He plays the old man tired of even older broken systems so well. May he rest in peace.

[@MimMdance]

RIP Ray, man brought a new character to life that has now placed itself among some of the greatest written characters Star Wars has ever produced. It's a shame that he will never know how much we love his character, as he reminds me of Qui-Gon Jinn if whe leaned more towards the darkside, a mirror counterpart. Rest Well Ray.

[@SouthpawSatch]

My favourite new character in SW and best character in Ahsoka imo. Stevenson brought so much depth, complexity and strength to his role. While I'm gutted he is no longer with us and he never got to see the appreciation he gained, at least his performance has been immortalised on film

It'll be a shame if they don't recast Baylan. He and Ahsoka both lost faith in the Jedi Order, but they each took a very different path after they saw the truth of what the Order had become. Ahsoka looks to the future with hope that something better and stronger and wiser can be built from the ashes of what was and Baylan looks to the future with despair. He sees a cycle that will repeat itself over and over until the end of time.
