Star Wars enthusiasts were thrilled to learn at the recent Star Wars Celebration that Hayden Christensen will reprise his iconic role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of the Ahsoka series. Although details about Anakin's role remain under wraps, fans are eagerly anticipating more adventures featuring Ahsoka and her former master.

Christensen made a special appearance at the Ahsoka panel during the event, where he expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the role. "It was a dream to get to do," he said. "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."

Ahsoka series creator Dave Filoni humorously mentioned the lengths he went to work with Christensen again, saying, "I had to invent entire dimensions to make it happen." This playful remark underscores the creative efforts behind bringing Anakin back into the fold.

Christensen also discussed the extensive conversations he had with the team about Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars. "All of this had been presented well in the animated world, but I was really excited to do that in live action," he noted. He expressed excitement about exploring a new look for Anakin, moving beyond the traditional Jedi robes he wore in the prequels.

During the panel, Filoni elaborated on how their shared history with George Lucas helped them collaborate effectively. This collaboration allowed them to fill in knowledge gaps and create a comprehensive portrayal of Anakin. Christensen added, "I always have George's voice in the back of my head saying, 'faster, more intense!'"
