A new extended TV spot for Ahsoka has found its way online (via SFFGazette.com), and Baylan Skoll is put front and centre. The former Jedi, played by the late Ray Stevenson, comes across like the show's big bad here, though we've heard that he and the rest of its antagonists all report to Grand Admiral Thrawn.
We can't help but notice the similarities between Skoll and the Expanded Universe's Joruus C'baoth, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if that's either who he really is or if the character borrows a lot from that Heir to the Empire baddie.
Elsewhere in the teaser, there's plenty of awesome lightsaber action. Sabine Wren is shown wielding Ezra Bridger's blade in a battle with Shin Hati, while Ahsoka Tano has her hands full with that mysterious Sith Inquisitor. Could a brainwashed Ezra be beneath the helmet? Many fans believe it's highly likely.
Check out this new TV spot for Ahsoka in the players below.
