"Tales of the Jedi" is calling.

That could be an option, but I was thinking more of something in print so we wouldn't have to deal with them recasting him. Although now that I think about it, if it was set all the way back in the Clone Wars era, there's a decent chance they'd recast with someone younger even if Ray Steveneson was still alive.
Likewise any suggestions about deep fakes.
While staying outside of the debate of whether it would be appropriate to recast Baylan in animation or whatever, even if they did go for an appearance in Tales of the Jedi, it would really only offer a glimpse into his backstory, just like the Dooku episodes in the first season of Tales. Any kind of in-depth look would almost certainly be better suited to a novel or comic series.
If they bring Baylen back for live action, they're recasting him. The only point of deepfaking is if they just need a couple scenes to give him a worthy death and have Shin take over for him.
While iconic characters deserve the actor who made them special and resonate, I don't believe that any particular actor can own the character after they die.
If Filoni & Co believe that they can suitably kill off Baylen and keep the main story on track, that is likely what they will end up doing. But recasting should not be a big deal if done respectfully enough to the work that came before.
No one can replace Stevenson, but a suitable actor can be found to take on the mantle.

OK, I guess waiting two whole days to show a little respect was just too much to ask . . .
That's tactics. What I was talking about is strategy. You can interdict the odd New Republic cruiser, or sneak a cloaked ship into their midst all the live-long day, but it means nothing without a larger strategy and goals a little more specific than "win". You can't (re)build an Empire on naval engagements alone. There needs to be a long game, which as is happens is Thrawn's speciality.
Right, then.
Everyone else ready to finally get this over with today?

I"ll be dissapointed its over.
This is a pretty good show. I wish it had more than just 8 episodes.
Yes.
Then fans can go bitch over something else.
I had more fun at my last dentist appointment than some of these fan conversations.
Well the mystery is solved. After all these weeks with no hints, they've revealed that Sabine's Loth Cat has been snoozing this whole time . . .
ETA: Turns out this isn't just any old lo-fi track, it's a Kiner Lofi track! What the hell is Lofi anyway? I'm too old to understand new music trends. (Only being slightly facetious.) Also the cat's name is Murley.

Awesome! I love the self-awareness of this video. 
I wonder where the name Murley comes from.

Am I a horrible person for forgetting all about the Loth Cat?
Well.. Okay.. Season 2? Is it here yet??
So, Dathomir?
Whats in the Crates??
Ezra stole a shuttle... of course he did..
So, the planet is connected to Mortis.. the Father, the Son.. And????????? Abeloth??
Morai!!
and Force Ghost Anikin..
Wonder if she kept the Sword??
Liked how Morgan was fighting.. can't do that with a lighsabre, using both hands like that.
So.. guess have to recast Ray Stevenson (RIP)
I nominate Dominic Purcell..

An okay episode. Didn't really have anything "big" to justify it being the finale. I was expecting dome big reveal with Stevenson's character or having Luke show up to greet Ezra. They didn't say if there was going to be a season 2.
Why didn't Ashoka go for the head with those Zombie Troopers? She used to do it all the time in Clone Wars. Disney have really censored this franchise since getting their hands on it. It's like watching a 4Kids version of Star Wars.
At least Ezra did it.

That did not disappoint. Season 2 cannot come soon enough.
Zombie Troopers were a pretty cool addition to the new canon. If we don't get at least one action figure of a Zombie Trooper I'm going to be very disappointed in the people at Hasbro. Well, moreso than I tend to be.
