The latest wielder of a dual red lightsaber in the “Star Wars” universe is Inspector Marrok, one of the most mysterious new characters in “Ahsoka.” There had been a lot of speculation as to what the character might look like under the mask, and whether it’s an existing character or someone new. There’s also the question of who voices the character, who thus far has only been heard heavily filtered. Some think it’s Sam Witwer, who has played both major “Star Wars” characters as well as “additional voices” — the latter of which is all he’s been credited as thus far in “Ahsoka.”
However, one thing that is certain is that the man who is actually wearing the Marrok suit and has been doing the character’s action sequences is Paul Darnell. Darnell is primarily a stunt performer, whose services have been utilized in such major productions as “Justice League,” “Jurassic World,” “The Matrix Resurrections,” “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” and many more. He’s also done previous “Star Wars” work, doing stunts for “The Book of Boba Fett” and “The Mandalorian.” He also played the roles of Night Wind Assassin and Trandoshan Gambler on “Boba Fett,” and has made appearances on the reality competition shows “American Ninja Warrior,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and “MTV’s Parkour Challenge.”
