The person behind several screen villains

Lucasfilm's May 23, 2023 tribute remembered Ray Stevenson as an actor whose warmth contrasted with some of his formidable screen characters. The studio identified his voice role as Gar Saxon in Star Wars Rebels and his live-action role as Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka. Dave Filoni's tribute emphasized the kindness and generosity experienced by the production team.

Different roles, different productions

The official Ahsoka launch account later listed Stevenson as Baylan Skoll among its ensemble. A posthumous release can introduce a performance to viewers after an actor's death; it is not evidence of a new production filmed afterward.

The inherited address contains misspellings of Stevenson's name and a reference to RRR. This page retains the address for returning readers while using the correct name and limiting its remembrance to documented roles and the studio tribute. It does not infer a medical cause of death.
