STAR WARS: Hayden Christensen To Return As Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader For AHSOKA

We know Hayden Christensen will return as Anakain Skywalker/Darth Vader for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, but it's now come to light that the legendary Dark Lord of the Sith will also have a part to play in another planned Disney+ Star Wars show.

THR reports that Christensen has signed on to appear in The Mandalorian spinoff, Ahsoka, which will focus on Rosario Dawson's fan-favorite force-wielder. Like The Mandalorian, Ahsoka will be set after the events of Return of the Jedi, which means Vader is already dead by that point in the timeline. This has led to speculation that Christensen may show up as a Force-Ghost, but flashbacks are also a possibility.

As any fan of the animated side of the galaxy far, far away will no doubt be aware, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin have a lot of history, with the once heroic Jedi taking the young Togruta on as his Padawan in the early days of the Clone Wars series. The two would come face-to-face again as adversaries in Star Wars Rebels for an epic battle that ended with Ahsoka's (apparent) demise.

Further details are under wraps, but Christensen's involvement in Ahsoka is sure to generate plenty of discussion.

What do you guys make of this news? How do you think Vader will factor into the show? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

I don't want flashbacks, as The Clone Wars offers pretty much everything we need to know about Anakin and Ahsoka. Rather just see him show up as a force ghost

@bkmeijer - I want flashbacks purely to see live-action Anakin training Ahsoka

Delighted for Christensen getting to play Anakin again and (hopefully) do him justice. Got done dirty with the writing n directing in the prequel series. Hope we get some flashback scenes

Hayden being looked at years later as a highlight of starwars warms my heart.



Let this be a lesson for you all. No matter how terrible you are at something, with enough time people will come to appreciate you....eventually🙎



There is still hope for unconformed....




But for now he is still....

@AmazingFILMporg - I guess the thing is Hayden has shown how good he is afterwards.

Most of his failings were the script though❤


Not his fault

@AmazingFILMporg - Agreed! If you look at Lucas directing him in the prequels' DVD extras you'll feel bad for the guy.
