Also, Admiral Ackbar is returning and thats not a trap.
Hes going head-to-head with Thrawn, promisedAhsokacreator Dave Filoni.
Because Im like, I cant do that, that would be so lame.
Because this guy cant always get into traps.
Youd think he would see it this time, joked Filoni.

Stevenson died in May 2023 before season one ofAhsokadebuted.
He played a key nefarious antagonist who locks horns with Rosario Dawsons Ahsoka.
McCann possessed that intensity.
Filoni got emotional when remembering Stevenson.
Season 2 was predictably a big challenge because of losing Ray, said Filoni.
But I have a wonderful support group in Jon (Favreau) and Rosario (Dawson).
Favreau, Dawson and Christensen were also on stage today in Tokyo with Filoni.
I found a way in I had Ray in my head.
Im grateful for all my conversations with him about Baylan.
So, I understood what to do, it just took a while to get there.
The character is meant to be the parallel to Ahsoka in every way.
Thats a parallel that must continue, said Filoni.
He is the iconic villain.
Thrawn doesnt have the force, but holds his own against everybody.
