This actually isn’t the first time that Rosario and Hayden worked together. That would be the movie Shattered Glass, which I’ve been using this show to promote every chance I get, since it’s sorely underrated and tells a little-known true story that’s only become more relevant since. And after his appearance in Obi Wan got some mockery for not trying to de-age him in any way, it’s very neat to not only see it happen here, but in the form of an otherworldly spectre so that the waxy, uncanny valley effect they still haven’t overcome actually fits the scene. On the downside, this is the first of two times in the show where I think they fell down on making the story accessible to people coming in cold, though I also can’t think of any way they could do it since Ahsoka has already been in the World Between Worlds and it wouldn’t make sense for her to be asking what it is. I’m also still a bit ticked off that they went so far out of their way to give the villains a constantly masked henchman and then had the nerve to act surprised when the fans assumed some big reveal about his identity was coming. At least it didn’t turn out to be Ezra as quite a few absolute maniacs among the fans were insisting. And I have to give major kudos to the show actually making it believable that Sabine would team up with the bad guys by making it all about getting back to Ezra, and it also really helps that Baylan is that most effective of all villains, the one who truly believes they’re doing the right thing. Ray Stevenson fully makes you buy that viewpoint even with our still knowing little about what his goal actually is, especially in contrast with his gleefully, knowingly evil performance in RRR. And considering some of the crap the Jedi Council pulled in its final years, how can you say he doesn’t have a point?

I just remembered that in terms of someone reprising their animated Star Wars role in live action, we had Steve Blum in The Mandalorian. Admittedly, the character is cgi, though I’ve been told that Steve was on the set of The Mandalorian physically acting as Zeb, so I’d say he counts.
