Exciting news emerged from Star Wars Celebration: Hayden Christensen is set to reprise his iconic role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of *Ahsoka*. While details about his character's involvement remain under wraps, fans are thrilled to know that Ahsoka's journey with her former master continues.
Christensen made an appearance at the *Ahsoka* panel during the event, sharing his enthusiasm about returning to the role. "It was a dream to get to do," he remarked. "The way they conceived how to do it was brilliant in getting to explore the World Between Worlds. I thought it was all really exciting."
Series creator Dave Filoni playfully mentioned that he had to invent new dimensions just to collaborate with Christensen again, underscoring their eagerness to bring Anakin back to life on screen. Christensen also discussed the extensive conversations he had with the team about Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars, expressing his excitement about portraying these moments in live action. "As much as I love the traditional Jedi robes I wore during the prequels, it was exciting to get to see Anakin with a new look," he added.
During the panel, Filoni highlighted how their previous collaborations with George Lucas helped them bond and fill in each other's knowledge gaps, leading to a comprehensive portrayal of Anakin. Christensen echoed this sentiment, joking, "I always have George's voice in the back of my head saying, 'faster, more intense!' "
