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

At Star Wars Celebration, fans were thrilled to learn that Hayden Christensen will be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of *Ahsoka*. While details about Anakin's specific role remain under wraps, the news promises more engaging moments between Ahsoka and her former master.

Christensen made a special appearance at the *Ahsoka* panel during the event, sharing his enthusiasm about returning to the iconic character. "It was a dream to get to do," Christensen expressed. "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 humorously remarked that he had to invent new dimensions just to collaborate with Christensen and bring Anakin back. Christensen also discussed his deep dives into Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars, expressing his eagerness to transition these narratives from animation to 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."

During the panel, Filoni elaborated on how their mutual experience working with George Lucas helped them forge a strong partnership, enabling them to enhance Anakin's character through shared insights and knowledge. "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.
