The recent announcement at Star Wars Celebration has sent waves of excitement through the fanbase: Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of the Ahsoka series. While specifics about Anakin's role remain under wraps, the prospect of further exploring Ahsoka's relationship with her former master is thrilling for fans.

Christensen made a special appearance at the Ahsoka panel during the celebration, sharing his enthusiasm about returning to the iconic role. "It was a dream to get to do," he remarked, praising the innovative approach of utilizing the World Between Worlds to delve deeper into the narrative. "The way they conceived how to do it was brilliant... I thought it was all really exciting."

Christensen also touched on the extensive discussions he had with the team regarding Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars.
