Ahsoka will introduce Baylan Skoll, and a theory claims that he's actually an existing Star Wars character, which would have huge implications.
The upcoming Ahsoka series will feature Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, and this seemingly new antagonist could actually be an existing Star Wars character. Baylan was first revealed in the Ahsoka teaser trailer at Star Wars Celebration 2023, wielding an orange lightsaber and clashing blades with Ahsoka Tano. Not much is known about Baylan and his apprentice, Shin Hati, other than that they're working with Morgan Elsbeth, meaning they could team up with Grand Admiral Thrawn himself.
If Baylan is revealed to be an existing Star Wars character, several story possibilities would open up based on that character's history. This would allow the team behind Ahsoka to tie Baylan's character into Thrawn's plan and create even more connections to the other Star Wars TV shows. The concepts that would become available could lead to a lot of really fun and creative moments in Ahsoka, taking the live-action Star Wars show to the next level.
Thrawn first met Jorus C'Baoth in the years before the Clone Wars, where the two came into a conflict that ended with Thrawn destroying C'Baoth and the Outbound Flight project. Perhaps something similar happened in canon, which would explain Thrawn creating C'Baoth's clone, or discovering that Palpatine had created him, like in Legends.
Another shocking possibility would be Ezra Bridger, who was last seen disappearing with Thrawn into hyperspace. Since Thrawn knows that Ahsoka is looking for Ezra, perhaps he'll create a clone to fool her and eventually strike when Thrawn sees fit. This would make for an incredible twist if the show waited a few episodes before the reveal, and it would make the real Ezra's return even more satisfying.
