Hayden Christensen Returns as Anakin in Ahsoka Season 2 - Star Wars

At Star Wars Celebration, fans received thrilling news: Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of the hit series *Ahsoka*. While the details of Anakin's role remain under wraps, this announcement promises more exciting interactions between Ahsoka and her former master, Anakin Skywalker.

Christensen made an appearance at the *Ahsoka* panel during the event, expressing his enthusiasm about returning to the iconic role. "It was a dream to get to do," Christensen 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."

The series creator, Dave Filoni, humorously shared that he was determined to collaborate with Christensen again, even going so far as to "invent entire dimensions to make it happen." This playful remark underscores the creative lengths they went to bring Anakin back into the fold.

Christensen also touched on the discussions about Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars, expressing his eagerness to translate these animated storylines into live-action. "All of this had been presented well in the animated world, but I was really excited to do that in live action," he said. "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."

Later in the panel, Filoni discussed how their mutual experiences working with George Lucas helped forge a strong bond, enabling them to enhance their portrayal of Anakin. This collaboration allowed them to fill in gaps in their knowledge and create a comprehensive interpretation of the character. "I always have George's voice in the back of my head saying, 'faster, more intense!'" Christensen added, highlighting the influence of Lucas's direction on their work.
