Hayden Christensen to Return as Anakin Skywalker in Ahsoka Season 2: Highlights from Star Wars Celebration in Japan

The season finale left everyone eagerly anticipating the next adventure featuring Ahsoka. To put it another way, as the series’ team revealed their plans, they didn’t shy away from sharing significant updates, suggesting that the show was on track to be exceptional. At the recent Star Wars celebration in Tokyo, the creator of Ahsoka shared numerous major announcements.

Next week, production for the second season of Ahsoka begins. Meanwhile, an exciting development has surfaced: Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker, according to Deadline. This news is significant, considering Anakin was Ahsoka’s Jedi Master and their relationship is intricate.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news that emerged during the recent panel featuring Ahsoka. The talented Game of Thrones actor, Rory McCann, has joined the Star Wars franchise! He’ll be stepping into the role of the sinister Jedi Baylan Skol, a part previously held by the late Ray Stevenson. This transition comes following Stevenson’s passing, and I can’t wait to see McCann bring his unique talent to this intriguing character.

Excitedly for Star Wars enthusiasts, Admiral Ackbar is set to appear in season 2 too! The show’s creator revealed that he’ll be squaring off against Thrawn.

In a difficult struggle, Dave Filoni chose not to include the phrase “It’s a trap!” in his writing, as he felt it would seem unoriginal and out of character for the person involved, since this individual rarely falls into traps. One might expect him to spot it this time, Dave Filoni remarked.

For those who do not know, Stevenson died in May 2023, even before season one of Ahsoka debuted. 

In the storyline of Ahsoka, the role of a significant antagonist was skillfully played by another actor. Interestingly, this performer previously acted alongside Rosario Dawson (who plays Ahsoka) in Oliver Stone’s film, “Alexander,” 20 years ago.
