Star Wars' social media channels recently shared a handful of new Ahsoka stills from last week's "Shadow Warrior," and Lucasfilm has since sent over a massive gallery of hi-res shots from the episode.

These head our way mere hours before the show's sixth instalment hits Disney+ and we're hoping it's now going to be Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn's chance to shine.

Going back to these images, though, and along with a closer look at the World Between Worlds sequence, we see Darth Vader's latest return to the franchise, The Clone Wars in live-action, a young Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, and Anakin Skywalker's continuing struggle with his inner darkness. 

Hayden Christensen's return as Anakin was revealed in advance but never officially announced, and for animation fans, his latest cameo was nothing short of jaw-dropping (mainly because he donned that iconic armour). It's also led to another round of well-deserved praise for the actor who originally played the Jedi-turned-Sith in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith

Prior to reprising his role in Ahsoka, the Obi-Wan Kenobi star shared high praise for the work Dave Filoni did on The Clone Wars alongside George Lucas. 

"I love Clone Wars. I think what Dave Filoni did with Clone Wars and Rebels are brilliant," he said. "I’m indebted to Dave Filoni because I think he helped the character of Anakin a lot. I think he fleshed out the character and also furthered our understanding of Anakin’s relationship with the Jedi and the Council and the mistrust that he harboured."

"I think the franchise is in good hands right now, and what Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni are doing is brilliant, and so as a fan I’m very happy to see it expand."

Christensen would later confirm he'd have happily reprised the role in animation had they asked and it's a shame that didn't happen. Of course, we can take nothing away from the incredible job Matt Lanter did with the character over several years (including briefly in Star Wars Rebels as Darth Vader). 

Check out this latest batch of spoiler stills (via SFFGazette.com) from Ahsoka below.

As much as I wasn't too hot on his parts in the ep, people complaining about how he looked are reaching. If you hadn't told me he'd been de-aged I'd have had no idea, it's uncanny

@Cap1 - It was more apparent in the reveal in ep 4, I watched it again yesterday and it's still wonky. I didn't notice it nearly as much in ep 5 so that's a success, not that my opinion means anything.

@WhatIfRickJames - yeah I agree, looked like his face had been stuck on with blu tack, lighting was all off, but in the full ep he looked great

I gave up on Star Wars, but you never give up on Star Wars. So ... is this worth watching? Or is it as bad as Obi Wan?

@GeneralZod - It’s not as dumb but is also dumb since now anybody can have the force if you just develop it,
It’s more boring. The 5th episode was more tolerable but mainly because of the member berries, and the plot contrivances for convenience are overt.

Disney has destroyed Star Wars.

@GeneralZod - It's a little slow in spots, and some of the acting's a tad stiff, but overall, it's worth the watch, especially if you were a Rebels fan.

@GeneralZod - I’m still in for Andor S2 but I feel the same way. All of these big IPs having a never-ending content factory behind them has made me tire of them. I can’t just commit myself to watching endless shows and movies of varying quality forever. For those who enjoy them, I’m happy those people are getting more of what they enjoy. I just can’t commit to watching it all so I pick and choose the occasional project that interests me.

I have been enjoying exploring new content and different genres lately. Currently watching Silo on Apple+ and that show is great so far.

Looks like KK is allowing Filoni to do his thing with Ahsoka while she does hers with Rey. How soon before she dumps him because his stories are better?

@LilJimmy - You know that Kennedy doesn't write the movies, yeah?

LilJimmy - 9/19/2023, 9:09 AM
@ClintThaHamster - *facepalm* Does Kevin Feige write the movies?.....
ClintthaManster
ClintthaManster - 9/19/2023, 9:26 AM
@LilJimmy - Do you give Feige credit (or blame) for the MCU's stories?
DevilsDreams
DevilsDreams - 9/19/2023, 10:30 AM
@ClintThaHamster - yes..?
I mean he's in overall control of the MCU (although he does seem more involved an understands the property better than KK does)

@DevilsDreams - Well, Kennedy's an EP on Ahsoka and Andor and Rogue One and all of everyone's faves. She's as much responsible for all that's right about Star Wars as she is about what's wrong.
