Star Wars: AHSOKA - NEW TRAILER - ’Anakin Returns’ (2023) 4K DISNEY +
Anakin Skywalker is back!
The upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka has spent much of its marketing thus far showing that our titular former Jedi (played by Rosario Dawson) is teaming up with members of old Star Wars Rebels characters. But there’s one important character from Ahsoka’s past that hasn’t been discussed so far: her old master Anakin Skywalker, played again by Hayden Christensen. Up until this point, he’s only been vaguely referred to in Ahsoka’s previous live-action appearances—at least, until now.
If it’s been a while since you’ve seen Star Wars: The Clone Wars or Rebels, recall that the final season of Clone Wars in 2020 saw Ahsoka learn that Anakin was being groomed by Palpatine to slaughter the Jedi and turn to the Dark Side of the Force. But she couldn’t act on that information because Order 66 literally happened right as she realized that Darth Maul wasn’t bluffing. Like the other Jedi survivors, she had to go into hiding, and the two didn’t reunite until Anakin had been Darth Vader
