The latest Rome actor to join the live action GFFA alongside Guy Henry (Grand Moff Tarkin in Rogue One), Lindsay Duncan (TC-14 in The Phantom Menace) and Indira Varma (Obi-Wan Kenobi) is Ray Stevenson, who will be joining the cast of Ahsoka in his second Star Wars role after voicing Gar Saxon in Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars. While his specific role is unknown, it’s rumoured to be that of a Admiral, but not one of the Chiss variety.
Ray Stevenson is going from sailing the oceans to sailing the spaceways.
The actor, who last appeared on History Channel’s Vikings, has joined Ahsoka, the next Star Wars live-action series gearing up to go into production at Lucasfilm and Disney+.
The series centers on fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi Knight survivor popular on the animation side of Star Wars who made her live-action debut in the second season of The Mandalorian and appeared in an episode of The Book of Boba Fett.
Plot details are being kept secret, but the setup has consisted of Tano journeying from one end of the galaxy to another in search of Grand Admiral Thrawn, a former commander in the Empire.
We’ll be talking about this and much more from a very busy Star Wars week on the next episode of Making Tracks this coming Tuesday.
