I Think I Know who The Dark Jedi is - Ahsoka Show [BAYLAN SKOLL]

in the ahsoka trailer we got the reveal of a new dark side force user who I have several theories on his origins. We’re about to dive deep into some theories so here we go.
so a lot of speculation during the live stream took place and many were saying they believed it’s a survivor from order 66. Now while some media outlets have stated this as factual, it hasn’t been confirmed by Lucasfilm. So this leads me to wander off into my own theory, which is the whole point of the channel. First of all, what do we know about this guy, nothing but we can see he is wearing some old republic high republic type of armor. We also see his lightsaber emitter has a bit of a sword design to it, like a knight. He looks like Valkorion from the old republic, the old powerful sith emperor, however, I don’t think that’s who he is, despite his appearance resembling him. He has a padawan, named Shin, she has a jedi braid, if you look closely you might see it. Ray Stevenson in an interview with comicbook dot com said that Baylan is a man who will get to his destination no matter what, that he has a quest, and at first he’ll ask you to step aside, and if you don’t, he will make you because there’s something far greater than him. And by that I think he means Thrawn. So this is a force user who has obviously some intellect, and isn’t some power hungry maniac who will just move anyone in his way. He’ll first try to reason and use his brain, which tells me he’s probably really powerful. Ray Stevenson also said that Baylan has been thrown into the mix as a catalyst and when you put him in there, a massive reaction will happen. So I think Baylan is definitely very loyal to Thrawn, and I think he’s going to replace a sort of Joruus C’Baoth type of character like in heir to the empire. Joruus C’baoth was a clone of a jedi who became insane and Thrawn worked with him to get Luke, however in this case, it may be Ahsoka, however, Luke isn’t off the table.
When we first see Baylan he appears to be in the world between worlds. I believe this because of the background which looks just like it did in rebels when ezra and ahsoka were in there, however, this could also be just a place that’s encompassing them in a hologram of a star system that leads to perhaps the world between worlds or elsewhere. However, I truly think, with the flooring included, this is the WBW. I think as Ahsoka was passing by different doors to different realms, including Anakin’s with Obi-Wan on Mustafar, we get one of two possible theories. One, she finds this door and walks into it, and they end up having disagreements, fight, and he escapes through the portal with her, ending up in current times. Thrawn finds him, and recruits him. The other possibility, and this is far fetched, but what if the leaks are true? What if the leaks of Ahsoka fighting Anakin or talking to Anakin on Mustafar instead of Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith actually happens, and Anakin doesn’t end up cut up and burnt? What if this character, is actually an aged Anakin, because at this point in the timeline, 7 years after return of the Jedi, Vader would be 54 years old, and Baylan looks to be 54. It’s a wild wacko theory, but it would be kind of cool to see what a full powered full potential anakin skywalker would be like. This could also be a being from the high republic, and i don’t say old republic because that’s just too many thousands of years ago. I think in Jedi Survivor the antagonist is a jedi from the high republic who has been frozen in time that Cal Kestis helped escape, probably out of the goodness of his heart, or because he knew the Jedi could be saved after finding him or seeking him out. So like in this one, perhaps this is a Jedi from the high republic that is loyal to Thrawn. This could be why his lightsaber is orange, which indicates a split between light and dark.

The final theory is that he’s just a survivor or order 66 with his padawan, Shin, who has a padawan braid. She is using the same old tech that Obi-Wan used during the prequel trilogy when she’s flying, so these two could just be survivors of order 66 that were saved by Thrawn and are loyal to him. They made their blades bleed and because they have Jedi traits, it bleeds orange, not blood red like a true Sith.
