New Ahsoka Trailer Teases the Return of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker — Watch
Disney+ on Sunday dropped the tastiest of teasers for its live-action Ahsoka series — a trailer that hints at a potential reunion between Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano and her former Jedi Master.
The 45-second sneak peek features new dialogue by Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker. “In this war, you will face more than just droids,” he says. “As your master, it is my responsibility to prepare you.
“I won’t always be there to look out for you,” Anakin continues. “Don’t be afraid. Trust your instincts. I know you can do this, Ahsoka.”
Anakin was Ahsoka’s Jedi Master before his turn to the dark side. Their relationship was depicted on the animated Clone Wars — however, Anakin at the time was voiced by Timeless vet Matt Lanter. If Christensen were to resurface in Ahsoka, it’d mark the first time Dawson and Christensen appear in their respective roles together.
THR previously reported on Christensen’s return to the Star Wars franchise. TVLine has reached out to Disney+ for comment.
