Hayden Christensen take over the role of Anakin Skywalker from Jake Lloyd inStar war : Episode II - Attack of the Clonesand persist in to portray the quality in the net installment of the prequel era , Star war : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith . Christensen ’s portrait of Anakin was highly criticize when the film premiered , with interview citing bad duologue saving and Anakin ’s whining as their heavy issues .
These feelings would change over the course of the next fifteen years , with the plastic film being viewed positively now . Even though Hayden Christensen fundamentally disappeared from Hollywood following the release of theStar Warsprequels , he returned to the franchise for the 2022 Disney+ limited seriesObi - Wan Kenobi . Most recently , in 2023 , Christensen reprised his role of Anakin Skywalker forAhsokaseason 1 . Anakin come along to Ahsoka Tano inthe World Between Worlds , then again as aForce shade in theAhsokaseason 1 finale . Now , it ’s potential he can return forAhsokaseason 2 - but it may not be the best choice .
Ahsoka time of year 2 is confirmed and has have exciting novel story and filming update . Here ’s everything we bonk about the Star Wars project .
Ahsoka Tano Has Finished Her Training
When Anakin Skywalker first appeared to Ahsoka Tano , he said he was there to eat up her grooming . Throughout Ahsoka ’s time in the World Between Worlds , she was squeeze to confront her past , in picky her fears about her past bleeding into her present . Ahsoka was so afraid of her legacy becoming something terrible and dark that she countenance it obnubilate her judgments . Anakin was able to show her different key points in her life story - an early battle during the Clone Wars as well asthe Siege of Mandalore , having her see them again to get his point in time across .
When Ahsoka said that she chose to hold out , she finished Anakin ’s training . This was also demonstrate through Ahsoka ’s transformation intoAhsoka the White . Ahsoka is saucy enough to pick up from Anakin ’s error and is walking out the other side a expert Jedi because of it . If Anakin truly only appeared inAhsokaepisode 5 to finish her training , thenhis missionary post is complete . Anakin ’s appearance in theAhsokaseason 1 finale is simply him watch out over his Padawan with pride , not an indication that Ahsoka ’s and Anakin ’s stories are n’t over yet .
Star Wars Risks Devaluing Anakin Skywalker’s Appearances
While having Hayden Christensen return toStar WarsinObi - Wan KenobiandAhsokawas awful and showcased some of Christensen ’s best acting , Lucasfilm require to be deliberate moving forward . While Anakin is an iconic character and meet a large role in the dealership , they risk undervalue his quality each clock time he appear in a unlike project . Ahsokacreator Dave Filoni would be wise to not feature , or barely feature , Christensen ’s Anakin Skywalker inAhsokaseason 2 . Having Anakin constantly appear in differentStar Warstitles means that each new appearance is less special .

With such hard workplace and storytelling that has been put into Anakin , it seems foolish to decrease his legacy . Asthe opt One , Anakin was able to bring balance to the wandflower , and that prophecy was carry out , mean that anything that takes lieu inthe New Republic eraand beyond runs the risk of just further complicating matter . While Anakin ’s appearing inAhsokawas epic , specially when audiences get visuals touch to Darth Vader , it now invoke the doubt of whether Anakin is aligned with the light side of the Force or has a counterbalance between his two alter self .
Star Wars May Be Falling Into Old Habits From Legends
One of the major issues fromStar WarsLegends was that Luke Skywalker , Leia Organa , and Han Solo would just show up towards the ending of novel and repair whatever job was happen . This made these characters overuse and devalued their appearance . While it was something to lure readers to nibble up a Legends book at first , consultation became habitual to this occurrence and it became the average . When Legends was deemed no longer a part of theStar Warscanon , it eliminated a lot of these concerns about overuse the three main characters from the original trilogy .
While bring Anakin intoAhsokaseason 1 was a bright approximation by Dave Filoni , Star Warsrisks Anakin having the same destiny as Luke , Leia , and Han did in Legends . IfStar Warscontinues to have Anakin Skywalker seem in unlike projects , he will oversaturate the content they are put outand therefore devalue his appearance . With such an significant and iconic character , Anakin deserve well than that . While it would be awful for audiences to get to see Anakin Skywalker again inAhsokaseason 2 , his appearance is n’t necessary and peril hurt his bequest .
