Why Baylan Skoll is a perfect villain in Ahsoka.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Star Wars franchise is packed with memorable antagonists, and Ahsoka's Baylan Skoll embodies all the traits that make a perfect villain. The late Ray Stevenson's exceptional performance, combined with brilliant writing from Dave Filoni and his team, makes Baylan one of the best characters of modern Star Wars.
14 Baylan Skoll Isn't Just Another Sith Villain Ahsoka wisely distinguishes Baylan from Star Wars' standard Sith villains by giving him unique traits. Baylan can be as powerful as Darth Vader or as manipulative as Maul, but he also avoids violent confrontations when possible. He would rather avoid killing a fellow Jedi but will do what it takes to achieve his goals.
11 Baylan Skoll's Calm Charisma Makes His Ruthlessness More Shocking Baylan's personality is remarkably dynamic, seamlessly switching from calm charisma to ruthless anger. Villains who are usually stoic and composed can be highly intimidating because it hints at the inner monster they are waiting to unleash. This is especially true in Baylan's duel with Ahsoka, where he finally stops holding back and releases his rage in every attack.
8 The Dynamic Between Baylan Skoll & Shin Hati Is Amazing One of Ahsoka's pleasant surprises was the incredible master-and-apprentice relationship between Baylan and his dark Jedi Padawan Shin Hati. She is the test of Baylan's control, feral and barely kept in check. At the same time, she follows his order without question, and the two are an unstoppable team in combat.
5 Baylan Skoll Believes His Actions Will Secure A Better Future George Lucas understood that bad guys often think they are good guys, and this sentiment is perfectly encapsulated through Baylan's conversation with Ahsoka. He understands that Grand Admiral Thrawn will start another war but believes this will secure a better future. This makes Baylan far more engaging than standard villains who want power for themselves.
