AHSOKA Season 2's Rumored Plans For Anakin Skywalker Revealed; Hayden Christensen Teases STAR WARS Future

Ahsoka featured plenty of surprises, including Hayden Christensen's return as Anakin Skywalker. He appeared in the World Between Worlds (where we learned the Jedi was as conflicted as ever), as one of his former Padawan's training holograms, and eventually in the form of a Force Ghost.

In those final few minutes, the suggestion seemed to be that Anakin will serve as Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren's guide on Peridea when the show returns.

Today, a rumour shared by @MyTimeToShineH claims to confirm plans for Anakin to appear in Ahsoka season 2, albeit in a much bigger role this time. This news is bound to be welcomed, particularly as Star Wars fans have embraced Christensen since he reprised his role as Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi

We don't have any details beyond that, but picking up with Anakin after the events of Return of the Jedi promises to be fascinating. His presence on Peridea may also explain why he wasn't guiding his son, Luke, leading into the sequel trilogy. 

Talking to Entertainment Weekly this past weekend, Christensen played coy when asked about his Star Wars future.

"Look, as to whether or not we see Anakin again, I don't know. But as evidenced by that last shot of the series, he’s with her in spirit, and they continue to have this connection," he teased. 

As for what it was like to transform into the version of his character from The Clone Wars animated series, the actor added, "I loved it, man. It was a really exciting version of the character, this kind of post-life Anakin that is this wise master that is an expression of the totality of the character with a sense of everything that has happened to him and that he's gone through and being able to wield both sides of the Force."

"It was a really exciting version of the character that I had a hunger to get to play, and I think audiences had an appetite for as well."

In both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka, Christensen also suited up as Vader again. Asked how it felt to have all eyes on him on set, he said, "It is a character that people have a lot of affection for, and yeah, you get a sense of that."

"A lot of the people who are working on these projects now grew up on the prequels and were huge fans of those films, and so I think they have a special connection to these characters and to Anakin. Anytime Vader shows up, that's a crowd-pleaser, so that's an easy one. But it's really nice to see the support that Anakin has now."

Stay tuned for more Ahsoka season 2 updates as we have them.
