Los Angeles, California – Rosario Dawson and Hayden Christensen, who have a history of working together on the popular Star Wars franchise, recently discussed their reunion on the set of Ahsoka. The actors, who first met in a summer acting class as teenagers, reprised their roles as Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker in the series, leaving a significant impact on both the fans and themselves.
Reflecting on their time together, Dawson expressed her excitement, stating, “We just had so much fun… It brought tears to all of our eyes. I love Hayden. He’s such a wonderful man.” Dawson also revealed that she had observed Christensen’s journey as he became part of the Star Wars series when they were younger.
Dawson further discussed the significance of the character Anakin’s appearance in Ahsoka, emphasizing that viewers had never seen him as Sith Anakin before. She highlighted how the moment in the World Between Worlds allowed them to explore Anakin’s character more deeply and appreciate his presence in the Clone Wars era.
The original plan for Anakin’s appearance was for him to be a Force Ghost, but it was modified to make the scene more impactful. Instead, Anakin appeared as a hologram during a training sequence, creating an element of uncertainty and mystery. Dawson noted that this change kept the moment in the World Between Worlds as a question mark, adding to its ephemeral nature.
The decision to alter Anakin’s appearance was well received by fans and also allowed for a potential storyline in the future. With the cliffhanger ending of Ahsoka, the possibility emerges that Anakin could guide his former Padawan back to her own galaxy as a full-fledged Force Ghost.
All episodes of Ahsoka are now available for streaming on Disney+. This reunion between Rosario Dawson and Hayden Christensen has brought excitement and joy to Star Wars fans, who have eagerly embraced their reprised roles in the beloved franchise. Anakin Skywalker’s appearance in the series has added new dimensions to the character and opened the door for intriguing future developments.
Overall, this reunion of the two actors has not only pleased fans but also provided a unique opportunity to explore deeper aspects of the Star Wars universe.
