No matter what happens, whichever direction they go, just such an incredible shame Ray Stevenson is gone. Putting aside all of the potential his character had, just such a loss we've lost this incredible actor.

[cabinetdoorknob]

i agree it really feels like hes gonna get tricked. i feel like something is manipulating him and thats why hes so fine abandoning shin

[arvelcrynyd]

I think there's a very decent chance that it could be the Bendu calling to Baylan. I agree with all of the in-universe explanations you presented, but I also think there's just a bigger chance that Filoni would reference his own work, rather than something like Abeloth.

[anthonygreen]

As long as it's not Palpatine, I'm good. Let him be dead for good. But since Ahsoka is before the sequel trilogy it could be Palpatine. I hope not.

[seanmorgan]

If palpatine shows up again in Ashoka, I'm gonna be pissed. It's supposed to be a story from a Galaxy, far, far away but we keep running into the same group of people.

[albertlamar]

I still think it is Abeloth calling him, so, yes, I agree he is being tricked.
Also, I don't like the way his relationship with Shin just...ended.
They were interesting, and both great actors.

The list of potential candidates for the one calling to Baylan Skoll just keeps on getting longer.

[JZ-xuvg]

touching thoughts for Rays memory. I'm curious to see what will happen to him in the final episode. Live on in the force forever?

[samuelroberson]

What about Anakin's final lesson to Asoka? Anakin showed her the balance he achieved between the Dark and the Light in his final lesson to her remember Asoka embraced the Dark to defeat Anakin but then choose "To live" and returned to the Light. I thought Anakin was just teaching Asoka how to fight someone as powerful as Baylan is with his forceful push's and strikes but after hearing this theory it does make better sense that Anakin was teaching her to embrace the dark and balance it with the light.

[dreadrath]

As crazy as Kreia was, her quote "It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it." was very on point.

[brokenbridge]

Having the Bendu as a theory is quite intriguing. But who knows if it will come true. I still think Baylan wants the World Between Worlds. To me that makes a lot of sense. It was on Thrawns ship last we heard.

[marcusroberts]

It's the one ring to rule them all.

Baylan is tricked by someone or something. He follows something darker. He listens to it. I think it's good he left Shin. I don't think it's Bendu. It's not. Baylan is being manipulated. I completely agree with you in the stance about light and the dark. The Force can become something terrible if we have selifish reasons and motives. It's up to us, light or the dark. We need to make selfless choices, to have better motives To act selflessly and to have selfless wishes.Anakin acted out of fear and selfishness. He didn't listen to the Force, and it's will. May the Force be with you too.

[andersbylund]

I see a lot of similaritys with Baylan and Anakin/Vader and i believe that his fate will be something similar

[nrgao]

Baylan the Bendu. Sounds like a dr Seuss character lol

[lagunamusic]

Idk how they’re going to continue this show without him.

[OldHenryLee]

AWESOME! This is the exact type of lore info that I've been hoping for.

THANKS!

🤠

[artix]

The predictions at this point are just out of proportion.

[banemeathleticclub]

I’ve wondered why we haven’t seen Ahsoka’s deep connection to sight through the force, much like Baylan. Why isn’t she hearing what Baylan is hearing. In clone wars we see Ahsoka counseled directly by Yoda (the plot to assassinate Padme) because of her extreme sensitivity to sight in the force—more so, even, to those on the Jedi counsel.

The bendu look a lot like the Tauren from WoW.
