Scottish actor Rory McCann, known for the role of Sandor Clegane in “Game of Thrones”, will replace Ray Stevenson in the sequel to the series “Ahsoka”.
Stevenson, who played a former Jedi known as Baylan Skoll, died in May 2023 after a brief illness — three months before the premiere of the series.
“Ahsoka” is a series from the “Star Wars” universe by Disney, telling the story of the eponymous character played by actress Rosario Dawson. Ahsoka Tano was originally created for the animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” (voiced by Ashley Eckstein), and debuted in live-action in “The Mandalorian”.
Let us remind you that Ukrainian actress Ivanna Sakhno also stars in “Ahsoka”.
Dave Filoni holds the position of showrunner, while the directing team has not yet been announced — nor has the release date or even the start of filming.
Regarding McCann, in addition to “Game of Thrones”, he has been seen in movies such as “Jumanji: The Next Level”, “Clash of the Titans”, and the recent “Gladiator 2”.
