The recent Star Wars Celebration brought thrilling news for fans: 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, the announcement promises more captivating interactions between Ahsoka and her former master.

During the Ahsoka panel at the Celebration, Christensen shared his enthusiasm for returning to the character. "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's 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." This playful remark underscores the creative efforts behind bringing Anakin back to the screen.

Christensen also delved into the discussions about Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars, expressing his eagerness to portray these aspects in 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 remarked. "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 discussed how their shared experiences working with George Lucas helped forge a strong connection, enabling them to collaboratively enhance Anakin's character. "I always have George's voice in the back of my head saying, 'faster, more intense!'" Christensen added, reflecting on Lucas's influence.
