Ahsoka prop master Josh Roth recently recalled how star Ray Stevenson helped shape the design of the lightsaber carried by his character, Baylan Skoll, in the Disney+ Star Wars series.Roth discussed Stevenson’s hands-on involvement in the creation of Baylan’s laser sword hilt during a session at the Destination D23 event. “Ray wanted to do something very special for this,” he said. “And he wanted to change the pommel. We changed the pommel working with both [production designer] Doug [Chiang] and [showrunner] Dave [Filoni] and were able to implement a creative choice that Ray had.” Ahsoka is Stevenson’s first and final Star Wars project, as the British actor died after completing his scenes for the series.Stevenson nevertheless leaves a lasting mark on the franchise’s canon, in part because he weighed in on the look of Baylan’s lightsaber. This is especially noteworthy because Ahsoka Episode 1, “Part One: Master and Apprentice,” establishes that the fallen Jedi’s weapon is unlike any lightsaber constructed for hundreds of years. The orange-tinged blades of both Baylan and his apprentice Shin Hati’s (Ivanna Sakhno) lightsabers also set them apart from Star Wars’ other malevolent Force-wielding warriors, who traditionally favor red blades, instead.Related: Ahsoka Actor Breaks Down Her Villainous Role in the Series
