In The Clone Wars, Anakin became Ahsoka's master, training her as his Padawan.Īhsoka, the show, like The Mandalorian, is set five years after Return of the Jedi, where Vader was killed, so it is likely that Christensen's role will be largely flashbacks to Ahsoka's past. In the animated shows, Anakin has most commonly been voiced by Matt Lanter.
Despite this, however, the character Anakin has been plenty busy in the Star Wars animated universe where Ahsoka herself first reached a massive fanbase. These two returns mark Christensen's first foray back into the Star Wars universe since his turn in the prequel movies. It is unclear what Christensen's return will entail, exactly, and whether or not it will be exclusively as Anakin Skywalker or as Darth Vader or a mix of the two.Įarlier this year it was announced that Christensen would return as Anakin for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show. Hayden Christensen will be returning to the live-action Star Wars universe for the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
