Late Northern Irish thespian Ray Stevenson appears in the new trailer for Disney’s upcoming live action Star Wars spin-off series Ahsoka.
The actor, who died in May at the age of 58, appears as the villainous Baylan Skroll who promises that “war is inevitable” in the two-minute clip.
The series, which follows former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy, will launch on Disney+ on August 23.
It stars Rosario Dawson in the title role as well as Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ivanna Sakhno and Doctor Who star David Tennant.
Once a rebel, always a rebel.
