Hayden Christensen Returns as Anakin in Ahsoka Season 2: Star Wars Celebration

The recent announcement at Star Wars Celebration that Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of Ahsoka has thrilled fans. Although specifics about Anakin's involvement in the upcoming season remain under wraps, the prospect of further exploring Ahsoka's relationship with her former master is undoubtedly exciting.

During the Ahsoka panel at the event, Christensen expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the iconic role. "It was a dream to get to do," he remarked, praising the creative approach of using the World Between Worlds to bring Anakin back. "I thought it was all really exciting."

Series creator Dave Filoni humorously noted the lengths he went to collaborate with Christensen again, saying, "I had to invent entire dimensions to make it happen."

Christensen also discussed the deeper exploration of Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars, a narrative previously covered in animation but now brought to life 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 shared.
