At Star Wars Celebration, fans were thrilled to learn that Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of the Ahsoka series. Although details about Anakin's involvement remain under wraps, the announcement promises more adventures with Ahsoka and her former master, keeping fans eagerly anticipating what's next.

Christensen made a special 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," he stated, highlighting the innovative approach of exploring the World Between Worlds. "The way they conceived how to do it was brilliant... I thought it was all really exciting."

Series creator Dave Filoni humorously remarked on the lengths he went to bring Christensen back, saying, "I had to invent entire dimensions to make it happen." This playful comment underscores their commitment to expanding the Star Wars universe in creative ways.

Christensen also discussed the depth of their exploration into Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars, a period previously covered in animation but now brought to life in live-action. "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," he shared, indicating fans can expect a fresh take on the character's appearance.

During the panel, Filoni elaborated on how their shared experiences with George Lucas helped them collaborate effectively, filling in knowledge gaps to craft a comprehensive portrayal of Anakin. Christensen added, "I always have George's voice in the back of my head saying, 'faster, more intense!'" reflecting the influence of Lucas's direction on their work.
