Baylan Skoll Lightsaber

Baylan Skoll carries one of the heaviest, broadest hilts in Ahsoka — a design the late Ray Stevenson helped shape himself. Our duel-ready version comes in Base Lit or Neopixel, installed and tested by our technicians here in the UK and covered for 12 months. His apprentice's blade is in the Shin Hati collection.

Who is Baylan Skoll?

A Jedi who survived the fall of the Order and did not stay one. By the New Republic era Baylan Skoll works as a mercenary, training his own apprentice, Shin Hati, and hiring out to Morgan Elsbeth in the hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn. He is not a Sith. He keeps the bearing of a Jedi Master and something close to regret for the Order he left, even as he cuts down anyone standing between him and what he is after.

The duel on Seatos

Skoll's confrontation with Ahsoka Tano is the fight the character is remembered for — patient and heavy, fought with weight rather than speed, and it ends with Ahsoka thrown from the cliffs. He carries an open contempt for Anakin Skywalker and the part he played in the collapse of the Jedi. Where his own story goes is left deliberately unfinished on screen.

The hilt Ray Stevenson helped design

Doug Chiang's team drew the saber first. Ray Stevenson — who played Skoll, and who died in May 2023, shortly before the series aired — asked to change the pommel, putting something of the actor into the weapon. The result is broad, blunt and deliberately unrefined next to a Jedi hilt. On screen the blade burns orange, which in Star Wars lore sits between Jedi blue and Sith red rather than belonging to either. On our sabers that character tie comes from the preloaded Baylan-inspired sound font: blade colour and effects stay configurable on the soundboard, so the same hilt can run his profile or anyone else's.

Base Lit or Neopixel?

Base Lit pairs with the RGBX soundboard and is the best-value way into duelling. Neopixel pairs with Xenopixel or Proffie, and gives film-bright ignition and flash-on-clash. The Baylan hilt is offered across all three. Keep spare blades to hand if contact sparring is the plan.

What is in this collection

The combat hilt itself — a 7/8" KR-compatible build in a classic or individually weathered finish, with Base Lit RGBX, Xenopixel V3 and Proffie V2.2 options — alongside a brick-built model of the same saber for a shelf rather than a duel. For the wider Ahsoka-era line-up, see character lightsabers or the collectors edition range.

Baylan Skoll lightsaber FAQs

Who is Baylan Skoll?

A former Jedi who survived the fall of the Order and works as a mercenary by the New Republic era, played by Ray Stevenson in Ahsoka. He trains his own apprentice, Shin Hati, rather than following the Sith.

What is he doing in the New Republic era?

Hired by Morgan Elsbeth, he searches for Grand Admiral Thrawn — and, by his own account, for something he believes matters more than the factions he has served.

Is he a Sith?

No. He is written as a Dark Jedi: calm, courteous and deliberate, with visible reluctance about some of what he does, but willing to kill when it suits him.

Who played Baylan Skoll?

Ray Stevenson. He died in May 2023, shortly before Ahsoka premiered, and had asked the design team to rework the saber's pommel — so part of the hilt is his.

Can I duel with it?

Yes — it is a KR-compatible combat hilt built for contact sparring. Blade length options are listed on the product page.

Can I use different blades with it?

Yes. The 7/8" hilt takes standard KR blades, and spares in other lengths and styles are in our blades collection.

Can I change the blade colour?

Yes. Colour and effects are set on the soundboard, not fixed to the hilt — the character tie is the preloaded Baylan-inspired sound font, and you can switch to any other profile you like.

What if my lightsaber breaks?
