Yeah I couldn't agree more. Ray felt like the one who carried the entire show in Ahsoka as Baylon.

Didn't expect this interview to be heartbreaking just a month later. Ray Stevenson showed so much excitement for his role talking about how thrilled he was for it. Can't believe he's gone at only 58, only a few days from his birthday. He looked so good too. :(

True - I think Lars had an idea about how people think and feel about Thrawn, but in typical danish fashion his mind is saying: "he's a villain, they're not going to cheer for a villain"... I don't know if he has read the Thrawn trilogy, but he has no clue as to how beloved a SW villain character Grand Admiral Thrawn is... Much of it by his own doing, for voicing Thrawn absolutely perfect in Rebels... He is getting a small taste of it now though, it'll be crazier after we see him in Ahsoka (if the writers do right by his character)...

Rest in Peace, Ray Stevenson.

Lars Mikkelsen's performance in rebels made Thrawn my favorite Star Wars character, even answering interview questions he sounds like a tactical genius.

I knew it would be bittersweet to rewatch this interview after Ray's passing, but I wasn't prepared for how healthy and excited he looked, the way he lit up every time the audience cheers, the way he praises the entire production and the culture of curiosity and cooperation that Dave fosters. He was so happy to be such a significant character in SW, it's heartbreaking that he never got to see how universally beloved his performance was, a feat almost never achieved in SW. I hope we get a lot of books about Baylan Skoll so Ray can continue playing him, if only in our imagination.

Precisely this. His first performance I watched was in Dexter and I was looking forward to every scene with him, he completely made that entire season in my eyes, such a commanding presence on screen.

It’s even funnier when you realize Lars Mikkelson once played Charles Augustus Magnussen opposite Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock.

His portrayal of Baylan has been beyond fantastic...Stoic, conflicted, skillful and such a nuanced performance....I personally think he's been the highlight of the show so far, especially after watching the latest episode....The great news is that despite our loss on the corporeal plane, we can watch this performance digitally forever...For our friend Ray...

As a Dane myself it was an incredible experience to take part in and be able to show the love for an actor whose career I have followed since the early 2000s.

Lars and Ray are such amazing actors in their own right. And I love the roles they are playing. Ray's Baylan Skoll has SUCH a presence that dominates every scene he is in, only topped by Lars' character of Thrawn, who's presence dominates the scene even more. Which is crazy to think about. They are such amazing actors, and it sounds like having worked with Dave Filoni and the Ahsoka show, it sounds like it must've been SO much fun and wholesome moments. You could almost grow envious of such a team effort. It is such an incredible shame that Ray Stevenson passed away at the age of 58. God, he had SO much more to give, so much more to show from his amazing talent. Ray Stevenson will be remembered as the fantastical great actor that he was, and will be loved by the fans of this community for as long as time exist. Rest in peace, Ray. Rest in peace.

Sorry very sad he passed, he acted the role beautifully, i saw him live and it was shocking to hear he passed not too long after celebration. He seemed so healthy and so happy. 😢
