Rosario Dawson Talks About Hayden Christensen’s Possible Return For ‘Ahsoka’
Ahead of this summer’s release of the Disney+ series Ahsoka, one of the biggest questions swirling through the Star Wars fandom, has been “Will Hayden Christensen be returning”?
The question is a natural one. Ahsoka was originally introduced in “The Clone Wars” animated series as a young padawan under the tutelage of Anakin Skywalker. Throughout the series, the two characters grew close, eventually becoming genuine friends.
While Ahsoka was not present when Anakin fell to the Dark Side, she would learn of her master’s fate in “Star Wars Rebels”.
Because of how intertwined the two characters’ stories are, it would make sense for Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker to appear in the upcoming show in some capacity.
A Shared History
Adding additional intrigue, is the fact that Rosario Dawson, who portrays Ahsoka in live-action, and Christensen have a long history together. The pair were classmates at the Lee Strasberg Theater & Film Institute, prior to Christensen’s debut in “Attack of the Clones”.
“We were teenagers, and then I saw him right immediately afterward go into this universe. I never could have fathomed that I would have had any part of that. Besides just being a fan of his, and being really proud of him.” Dawson recalls.
While the actress may know more than she is letting on, Dawson is keeping things close to the vest.
It’s just been really cool that at this moment, I’m joining it, and he’s been able to come back [in 2022’s Obi-Wan Kenobi] and also get embraced by the Star Wars family in a way that I think is much deserved,” she continued. “It’s definitely one of those things that would be super cool if he was [in Ahsoka], but I’m just really grateful that we’re in the same universe.”
Nothing Is Confirmed
Although some sources have reported that Christensen’s return for “Ahsoka” is confirmed, this has yet to be verified. For now, the return of Anakin Skywalker is just a rumor, but a plausible one at that.
