Ahsoka Tano returns in the upcoming Disney+ series, and with her comes none other than Anakin Skywalker. The premiere will take place on August 23, and the main role will be played by Rosario Dawson. Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin.
In the new trailer for Star Wars : Ahsoka on Disney+, Ahsoka Tano recalls the words of her Jedi teacher Anakin Skywalker. In the trailer, we see Ahsoka confronting ex-Jedi Baylan Skoll, played by the recently deceased Ray Stevenson. Baylan informs the former Padawan that everyone in the Jedi Order knew Anakin as a Jedi Knight, but few had the opportunity to see what he became. We will also hear Hayden Christensen as Anakin and see a glimpse of his transformation into Darth Vader after his battle with Obi-Wan on Mustafar. In another scene, Ahsoka reflects on her departure from Anakin and the Jedi Order at the end of the Clone Wars . In an episode of the TV series RebelsAhsoka, being one of the few who know who Anakin has become, faces Darth Vader. In the trailer, it’s already Anakin teaching his Padawan:
There’s more to this war than just droids. As your Master, it is my duty to prepare you. I won’t always be around to look after you. Do not be afraid. Trust your instincts. I know you’ll be fine, Ahsoka.
How will Anakin return?
These statements appear to have been recorded by Christensen specifically for the show. It’s possible it’s a flashback to when Ahsoka and Anakin fought together during the Clone Wars .
Hayden had previously appeared in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series as Anakin and Darth Vader. He donned the Padawan robes from Attack of the Clones again to duel Obi-Wan Kenobi, his master.
Will we see the Chosen One on screen?
While rumors had already circulated that Christensen would return to the role in Ahsoka , Rosario Dawson, in an interview with Total Film magazine , said:
I’m glad I joined a project like this and he [Hayden] was able to return [ Obi-Wan Kenobi ] and get a warm welcome from the Star Wars family , which I feel is well deserved. It’s definitely one of those moments where it would be incredibly cool if he starred [in Ahsoka ], but I’m really grateful that we share the same galaxy.
