Ivanna Sakhno plays Shin Hati, Baylan Skoll's apprentice wielding the Dark Side of the Force. Born in Ukraine, Sakhno first appeared on Ukranian television before moving to the U.S. at age 15 to pursue an acting career.
Shin Hati is his apprentice, as denoted by her padawan braid and some visual references to Darth Maul. She appears to be distrustful of Morgan Elsbeth but trusts her Master's judgment.
But old wounds remain for Sabine Wren, Ahsoka's former Jedi student, and powerful new enemies emerge in Baylan Skoll and his apprentice Shin Hati. More than just an opening act, “Master and Apprentice” delivers emotional stakes, stellar action, and a classic Star Wars tone in cinematic feel and dialogue.
Shin Hati is portrayed by actress Ivanna Sakhno in Ahsoka. A Ukrainian and American actress, Sakhno has appeared in numerous productions in Ukraine, but has also starred in the Hollywood films Pacific Rim: Uprising and The Spy Who Dumped Me.
Played by the late Ray Stevenson in Ahsoka, the Dark Jedi Baylan Skoll is still deeply mysterious. Baylan and his apprentice - Ivanna Sakhno's Shin Hati - were two of the most intriguing elements in Ahsoka season 1.
Until Star Wars shows more of his dueling ability, he can only be gauged against Ahsoka Tano. Nevertheless, Baylan soundly defeated Ahsoka once in episode 4, and then held his own against her again in episode 7. This doesn't necessarily mean he's more powerful than her, though.
Baylan has now won the upper hand in lightsaber duels with Ahsoka twice over, despite her successful dueling history. Baylan's skill shouldn't be underrated, as he was a general during the Clone Wars and also survived Order 66 somehow.
No, not even close. Baylan Skoll is powerful, there is no doubt about it, but Darth Vader was far more powerful than Baylon could ever have hoped to become. Darth Vader could easily dispatch both Baylon and his apprentice Shin Hati at the same time.
The term "Sith Lord" generally encompassed members of both sexes, although some female Sith such as Lumiya, Tahiri Veila, Olaris Rhea, and Vestara Khai were styled Sith Lady. Originally, "Sith Lord" referred to a high-ranking member of the Sith Order's society.
Summary. The death of Ray Stevenson, who played Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka, likely means the character will be recast for season 2. Lucasfilm has been resistant to recasting, but it's necessary in order to continue Baylan's story and honor Stevenson's performance.
Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo. A Force-sensitive Hysalrian, N'Kata Del Gormo was trained in the ways of the Force and achieved the rank of Master within the Jedi Order.
Ahsoka Tano was introduced in the 2008 Clone Wars animated film (serving as a pilot for the television series of the same name) as a 14-year-old Padawan apprentice, assigned by Yoda to Anakin Skywalker to teach him responsibility.
Ezra and Ahsoka deeply admired each other and cared for one another. Before officially meeting her, Ezra only knew her as Hera's contact, Fulcrum. They first met her after they rescued Kanan Jarrus from imperial custody.
Marrok was Force-sensitive and skilled in lightsaber combat, able to fight Ahsoka Tano on even footing. The former Inquisitor possessed Force powers such as telekinesis, which Marrok used when he pulled his lightsaber back to his hand after throwing it at Tano.
In her anguish and defeat, Tano deposited both of her lightsabers at the site as well, an action that helped to fake her death. Darth Vader recovers Ahsoka's lightsaber.
Summary. Jar Jar Binks's clumsiness may not be genuine, but rather an act to disguise his true nature as a Sith Lord infiltrating the Republic. Palpatine carefully orchestrated events to manipulate the galaxy, and Jar Jar's involvement suggests he may have been the eyes and ears on Naboo.
The most agreed upon theory, started by Reddit user Lumparoo in 2016, is that Jar-Jar is a powerful Force-user conspiring with Darth Sidious. In addition to this, some believe he either trained, or was supposed to become Supreme Leader Snoke, or that he is a reincarnation of Darth Plagueis.
Even though Kylo Ren uses a red lightsaber, harnesses the dark side of the Force, and wears a cape, he is not a Sith. Because of that, he can never hold the title of Darth. Instead, he was just a chaotic mess of the dark side (until he eventually found his way back to the light).
Vader Outranked only by Sidious - CON: The only thing I can find that says Tarkin outranked Vader is a quote by David Filoni in 2015 during an interview about Rebels. He actually says that Tarkin outranks Vader.
Baylan's great lightsaber and his modified version of Form V turned him into an enemy unlike anything Ahsoka had ever faced, which is precisely why she wasn't able to defeat him.
At its inception, the title and position was granted to Darth Vader. It seems that in this capacity, Vader's powers were those of Commander-in-Chief of all Imperial forces, answering only to Emperor Palpatine.
According to showrunner Dave Filoni, Skoll's lightsaber being orange-red instead of the traditional Sith red blade was intentional because he always felt as a kid that Darth Vader's lightsaber seemed to fluctuate from visual effects to being a little bit more orange, so he wished to not make a straight-up orange ...
Why did Ahsoka only use one lightsaber against Baylan?
The reason for this is likely because her shorter shoto lightsaber wouldn't have been as effective against her opponents. In her duels with the Imperial Inquisitor Marrok and the Dark Jedi Lord Baylan Skoll, Ahsoka chooses to only use her longer lightsaber.
As a former Jedi, Baylan Skoll was trained in the ways of the Force and was proficient in lightsaber combat. His approach was with long, two-handed, heavy strikes which combined with his physical strength and stamina allowed him to overwhelm his opponents.
