Thank You Ray Stevenson... (Baylan Skoll)

Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll gave us not just a great new character but also a performance to admire and love from the late great actor who sadly passed this year before the Ahsoka Series came out. He would not come to see the fans show love for him and I wish that he could be here to see it.
With that in mind, this video here is meant to be a tribute to him as the character of Baylan but to also showcase the greatness of the actor Ray Stevenson.
R.I.P Ray.

Hi everyone! I wanted to give more context to this video then what was stated in the description. You’ll notice I never once intercut in footage from other Star Wars properties. That’s something you might have noticed in other edits people have made out there on KZbin. That was something I didn’t want to do with mine for Baylan. This video is meant to really just let Ray Stevenson’s amazing performance shine. I didn’t want anything else to distract from that. I’ve loved all the edits that I have seen on KZbin where people have done that, but for me, this was solely about Ray. I wanted this video to let his performance speak for itself through his words, face and mannerisms. Truly a great actor. Just wanted to let you all know why I took a different approach then what other people have done. Also, you’ll notice at the end I didn’t include sound effects for the lightsabers. This was mainly due to some editing issues that prevented me from putting them in. At the same time if I included the original audio with the music, there could be a possibility I get hit with a copyright infringement which would mean no one could see the video. Hope that makes sense! My editing abilities are growing and I wanted to take my time and get it right. It’s the simplest, yet hardest video I’ve ever made. I am passionate about Star Wars and about lending my voice to storytelling. This is another step in that direction. Once again, rest in peace Ray Stevenson…

He had the presence of a king among jedi knights.

[@filmobsessednerd]

He did indeed even though not a Jedi anymore

[@Luke_wait_for_it_marengo]

So true, his presence alone.

he's one of the best Roman legion ever, of course he'd have a great presence

Watch him in this and Rome...broke my heart.

Without a doubt he was the best original character to come out of Disneys cannon and it's such ashame we lost him so soon.

There are so few true Jedi left.

He had a gravitas few characters in Star Wars have ever possessed.

Best character I’ve seen in Star Wars since the original trilogy. Ray will be missed.

Not quite. There are a few that are better. But top ten for sure.

[@barrettk88]

Ray was absolutely stunning in this role. I wish he could have seen it.

[@katv1195]

Yes. I wish he also could have seen how strongly the fans love the character and his performance.

[@hoaxialcable]

The deliveries of his replies are so legendary. He was actually good in a dark way.

[@IanCthrwd]

Loved him as Titus Pullo…….THIRTEEN! Ray knew how to wield a sword….fantastic seeing him with a lightsaber. Hoping to see more of him as Baylan Skoll….interesting character…. Sad to see him pass, and its almost a year now. Rest in Peace Ray ✨

[@austindeivert1198]

Titus pullo never forgets a favor!

Regardless if you love or hate Disney Star Wars, Baylan Skoll is an amazing character. Such a breath of fresh air… RIP Ray Stevenson. May the Force be with you…

"Impatience for victory will guarantee defeat." That's a damn fine quote.

[@armynation31B5V5P]

Ray Stevenson was perfect for this role. He'll be missed. Truth.

[@TheFlutecart]

I did not know he was gone from us. Damn it, bless him. I've been enjoying him since Rome. Rest in Peace dude, absolutely a great actor and human. I'm saddened by this.

[@Lleruelu]

Tito Pullo was another great character under his belt indeed. STTL

[@austindeivert1198]

Me as well 100 percent I loved him in everything I saw him in

[@sgtfubar6064]

He was by far the best character, complete shame he won't be able to bring it full circle.

[@nichtdevid]

Gray Jedi at his finest. . . Outstanding performance. I don´t even like Ahsoka as a series but this man, gosh darn, he inspired me. And I will miss that. 🖤

[@Gasssolo]

He is not a grey jedi. Jedi don't go after other jedi to kill them. His performance was stellar though

[@jjjj360]

Brought dignity to a franchise long bereft of it. Man what a loss

[@pullo5518]

Rip Ray. Loved him in Rome, loved him in Star wars.

[@FPalace]

I enjoy the level of details he paints in his head. I see the labor of love. There’s so much weight and depth in the way he says everything.

[@wigglemd]

May The Force Be With Ray..Always

[@jeffreyknutson]

I love this character, and the way that Ray played him. He made you believe everything he said.

[@macd7875]

One of the few actors who really gave gravity to the characters he played! He will be missed!

[@whatdaro]

very well put together tribute. not going to lie got teary eyed. Ray is the perfect Baylan, such gravitas absolutely perfect.

[@filmobsessednerd]

Thank you I appreciate that!

[@FalcoSusgott]

he wasn't a bad guy nor a good guy, he was a wise man in a chaotic world where good and bad made no much sense. he played this character so perfect

[@manofbeard]

I have seen Ray in quiet a few roles over the years and he was indeed a very fine actor indeed. Given that both he and I are the same age! His passing certainly brings my own existence on this mortal plain much more to the front of my mind. We should strive to do the best we can and enjoy the time we all of us have left. Rest in peace Mr Stevenson.

[@filmobsessednerd]

Thank you for telling me that, I am glad you could share those details and talk about how you feel.

[@deryaergul8261]

Ray Stevenson single-handedly transformed what Disney tried and failed to explain in the Last Jedi movie into reality in the character of Baylan Skoll.

[@xxxkakazuxxx]

I think Mr.Ray finds a way to immortality. Always rememberd.😔

[@IWillYeah]

Honestly, i came for Ashoka and the rebels/ ghost crew, but stayed for Baylon. Ray's acting and conviction far exceeded that of the rest of the cast.

[@I_am_Kamelot]

He was the last bright spot in Disneys SW, RIP you absolute legend.

[@ryarbrough459]

While I have never watched "Ahsoka", I have seen Ray Stevenson in numerous movies and he ALWAYS had a level of gravitas and sheer presence in everything he did. I remember first seeing him in the movie "King Arthur" as Dagonet and even though he didn't say much, he was impossible to ignore or forget. Same with his roles in "Rome" and "The Three Musketeers" and others, you were always aware of him. Watching these clips of him as Baylan Skoll, it is easy to see why so many absolutely LOVED his character. He was an amazing actor and will definitely be missed. RIP Ray.

[@user-je7kq1vd3x]

This is a beautiful memorial. Thank you.

[@Demigod_3scrub]

I love his character so much.. You taste the history of what has come in the past when he speaks.. Every conflict and battle .. Every memory..

[@TheChair2004]

One of the only characters I actually liked in the Disney era, other than the mandalorian

[@geosword6]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@Call_me_Jim]

Rest in peace Ray. You will be missed. "The Force will be with you, always."

[@ElementttH2H]

The one thing that gave me chills about Baylan's statements to being called to something, or someone, is the statues of the Mortis Force Beings, and how he stood on the Father's hand which pointed to the distance, we know in Old Legends there was a Mother who was locked away, what terrifies me is she was as powerful as all three of the others combined, so if they bring Abeloth back, that is going to be an enormous point of horror in Star Wars returning.

[@filmobsessednerd]

I made a video about this and I agree that would be so big for Star Wars if they did go that route

[@Alastar_Crown]

Шкода що актор не відчув ту любов, що отримав його персонаж. Краще, що сталося з ЗВ за останні роки....(

[@parcel8109]

I would’ve LOVED a conversation between him and Luke

[@RobbWolfVideos]

One of the best characters in all of star wars. Wedged into a not spectacular show. Unfortunate we did not get more of him.

[@filmobsessednerd]

I liked the first season but his character reigns to be the best character in it

[@user-sd3cj6jl2w]

What a voice, what a presence. Forever he will be Baylan & Titus.

[@abigfish1620]

He was one of the very few new characters I ever cared about. It's a tragedy he passed so early.

Really wish he had his own title. Since Star Wars is the peoples. I shall give him a proper title for a proper knight. - Sir Baylan Skoll - Rest easy Ray I’ve always loved your work, you where a great and talented actor and man.

[@travissteele4115]

He was one of my favorite actors of all time. He was really good in king author as well.

[@CATDRL2]

Thank you for filtering out the music and adding something very mild so we can tune into the dialog. Yes, you're right, other people add other clips and/or sound effects to add into what is already a dramatic acting performance. So, very sad when I see these tributes to Ray. But so well your your version is. Thanks.

[@paganarh]

Skoll was the best character in many years of the starwars. charismatic, powerful, understandable and grey (in more ways than one)

[@Nyjhaz]

There’s something so strangely poetic about his final role seeking a path outside the constant chaos of life itself in the Star Wars universe and then passing in the real, almost like he knew in a way his time was ending and wherever his soul was going next was what he was speaking of

[@NoName-jo4cm]

Mr Stevenson had the presence of sophistication in this role, he gave depth to his character

[@michaelyoung7261]

For Ray, you had something that made many excited for Star Wars again, and you carried a special gravitas that rapidly earned you great respect. May the force be with you, always.

[@user-io7lf3go4w]

Legend ❤

[@rippingtons60]

Baylan Skoll: You found the power you've long sought. Captain Blackbeard: You've gone to your throne in the depths. Legionary Titus Pullo: Your service is over soldier. Your three greatest roles Ray, RIP, you'll never be forgotten.

[@user-py8jk2yg8u]

The Jedi order was unfit, they're not built to give order. Baylan is a first glimpse of what the balanced Sith Empire is capable of, but he had no Empress to serve, and the Universe had no reason to willing accept an Empress (Rey), but Ray set out make that so. "trained to be something more." Awww... take your place Shin. Ray leads to Rey. "Fear is nothing to be ashamed of..." "Experience." You will be remembered Ray, deeply 🖤 The cycle has come to an End. Baylan Force ghost?

[@Sean6301312]

His character was/is perfect. He was taken from us too soon. He can't be replaced. He is Titus Pullo, the Punisher, Baylon Skull, so many iconic characters. We are diminished without him. You'll always be loved and appreciated Ray. We miss you

[@Roman-Legion]

I've like Ray Stevenson's performances from the first time I saw him in the HBO series, ROME. I have not seen Ahsoka but Ray's parts that I've seen in this video make me want to see the series. What a crying shame Ray Stevenson passed so early.

[@filmobsessednerd]

I would definitely recommend you watch it to get the full essence of what be brought

[@ayyo5971]

I love how shin is always looting.

I remember seing Ray in the movie King Arthur (2004) and telling myself, I see too mutch of myself in him. RIP Ray, may the force be with you.

[@mynkir-sol2150]

Thank you for making this video! I needed this. i think many of us do. i wasn't planning on Baylan Binging today, but i had to watch this when it came up in my feed! Yes, Baylan Binging is a thing now... i just rewatched this & i will be watching more Baylan content before returning to the boring things i must do. Thank you.

[@filmobsessednerd]

You're welcome glad I could make that feel for you!

[@seanhollick171]

Amazing video, very emotional to see. Ive been following his career for many years, so sad to see that he died just after one of his best performances. He was so great in Ahsoka. Thank you for the making the great video in dedication to a fantastic actor.

[@filmobsessednerd]

Thank you! That was the goal in mind.

[@mistersandwich0034]

he’s one with the force now with many of his comrades …and they still standing…and watching

[@niravelniflheim1858]

Wonderful tribute, thank you.

[@DavidMaxwell-gz9nl]

whatever you did with the audio, well done. Their voices sound like they are whispering it right in my ears so clearly.

[@filmobsessednerd]

I used a program to help remove all the music and keep the dialouge so that would help with it lol. Thank you!

[@Proven2]

I usually don't comment but thank you for this tribute. I'm sure he would have appreciated it.

[@filmobsessednerd]

Thank you thank you! I appreciate it that. If he ever were to have seen it I would hope for the same.

[@Gaming.And.Yelling]

He was awesome!

[@robertbower3607]

Lovely video, he was a fine actor,

[@Warcodered01]

The way he talked sounding exhausted and wanting to end the cycle comes off very Kreia like.

[@gilad.pellaeon]

Everyone in the order knew Anakin Skywalker, few would live to see what he became Everyone in the fandom knew Ray Stevenson, he would never see the admiration they had for him and his character

[@filmobsessednerd]

Great way to put this using his characters words

[@JujuMujuTv]

Titus Pullo - you will not be forgotten - the greatest of all the Roman soldiers, a friend of Lucius, a proud member of Thirteen! R.I.P Ray!

[@austindeivert1198]

Iv been a fan of rays since i first saw him as Titus pullo in the amazing series HBO's Rome as well as Punisher War Zone, King Arthur, Thor movies, Black Sails as Blackbeard, Dexter season 7, The Three Musketeers, The Other Guys, and in addition to baylan skoll he also voices Gar Saxon in the clone wars and rebels, i could go on and on but he is one of my favorite actors taken from us far too soon and he will absolutely be missed

[@filmobsessednerd]

His role in The Other Guys really is underappreciated

[@jacklynch3333]

He brought legitimacy and authenticity to Star Wars again. There was depth to his character, but it was due to how he acted

[@Dd-td6jl]

One of my favy actors of all time even before this which was the absolute perfect roll for him and the poor fella dies young. Miss ya bro

That guy was so WHOLESOME in the Series ROME

[@robertslater5706]

Worked with him on Vikings, absolute gentleman to all the other cast and crew, and always happy to talk about previous roles. My fave was his character Titus, in Rome, and the scene in the peach garden where he kills the senator was both our favourites. RIP

[@filmobsessednerd]

Great story! Thanks for sharing!

He could have been cast as Darth Viciate in an Old Republic version, his presence was very Imperial royalty.

I never saw those pictures at the end. Look at that smile!! That’s a smile we won’t get to see anymore…

[@filmobsessednerd]

I included those pictures in for a reason

He was the only good part for this show… It will never be the same without his presence and his performance… He was also Frank Castle “Punisher” He is missed dearly from us and his family… R.I.P Ray Stevenson… 🙏

I highly disagree he was the only good part but he was great. Watched him in Punisher for the first time the other week and ya he's good.

Lmao well I thought the season was good and that was certainly not the goal of mine to make a video like this in that sense

[@NetherCrafterSMC]

God just give me a short animated show on Baylan's early years and journey to the power on Peridia, that leads to him returning to his prime youth, that would be amazing :D

[@H-D-D]

For those who play World of Warcraft, This actor, his voice, demeanor, he would have been a perfect cast to play as Tirion Fordring.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

[@berkajr3685]

Vader, Sidious, Skoll and Tyrannous. This is by far the top bad guys in hte whole franchise, in that particular order. As someone else easilly summed up here. Stevenson is a king among the Jedi Knights.
