Ray Stevenson, whodied at age 58 in May, will appear posthumously in the series playing a character he described as “stoically lethal” at theStar WarsCelebrationconvention in April.
“Nothing scary about Baylan,” Stevenson toldYahoo! Entertainmentabout playing Baylan Skroll.
“I think the exciting thing is to see and feel where this journey goes and how it’s impacting his journey,” he added. “Basically, if you’re in his way, he’ll politely request you get out of it, and if you don’t, you’ll be removed.”
“But there’s no malevolence there,” Stevenson added of Baylan, who wields a red lightsaber in the new teaser trailer. “There’s no, like, you want to slaughter the world. There’s something other driving him…. He’s not quite good. But he’s not great.”
