Star Wars Alum Ray Stevenson Joins Ahsoka, Maybe as an EU Character

The solid of the upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka present continues to develop, this time with a Marvel and Star Wars alum. Ray Stevenson, who voiced Gar Saxon on Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars, in addition to performed Volstagg within the Thor movies, is reportedly becoming a member of Rosario Dawson in a galaxy far, distant. And we predict we all know who he’ll be taking part in.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the information of the doubtless casting and that that he’s taking part in an admiral. But not that admiral. “Sources say he is a villain in the series and will play an admiral… although, not Thrawn,” the commerce writes.

But if Stevenson is just not Thrawn, who might he be? Of course, his earlier Star Wars character, Mandalorian warrior Gar Saxon, is useless, so it will possibly’t be him. Our guess? Gilad Pellaeon, Thrawn’s right-hand man from Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn trilogy. Those books had been faraway from canon years in the past, however within the Star Wars Rebels finale, Pellaeon is name-dropped—and across the time of the finale, Rebels creator Dave Filoni confirmed to io9 that he’s nonetheless alive.

“Even though his radio transmission gets cut off there, I’m not trying to say that Pellaeon would be dead,” Filoni stated again in 2018. “I don’t think that’s it for him. I would like to see other stories with the guy.” And guess who’s making this present? The man who advised us he desires to see different tales with Gilad Pellaeon.

“I just wanted to mention the name so it gets in there, so it’s something people can use,” Filoni continued. “And sometimes that’s what I can do for things that come out of Legends. I could create just another captain with some name there or I could put someone like Pellaeon in play. And then maybe he gets picked up in comics or novels, I don’t know. But I think that would be kind of fun to do, and it’s a way to get that idea rolling.”

And sure, Pellaeon was a captain, however years have handed. It appears pretty apparent he might now be an admiral. Of course, it’s not confirmed however seems to be very doubtless that Ahsoka will decide up on the finish of that Star Wars Rebels finale. That’s when Ahsoka grabbed Sabine Wren (right here prone to be performed by Natasha Liu Bordizzo) to go and discover their Jedi good friend Ezra Bridger, who was final seen with Grand Admiral Thrawn. There’s additionally the truth that Ahsoka mentions she’s in search of Thrawn throughout The Mandalorian season two.

Star Wars: Ahsoka will begin capturing in April. We’d think about it’ll be on Disney+ someday subsequent 12 months.
