Hayden Christensen is comfortable to be again within the Star Wars universe, so long as he doesn’t have to return over to the Dark Side.
While confirming his return as Anakin Skywalker for Season 2 of Ahsoka, the actor defined throughout Star Wars Celebration in Japan why he likes portraying the character earlier than the occasions of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005).
“I think my understanding of the character is just continuing to grow,” he advised Complex. “We’re getting to explore different sides of Anakin, which I’m really enjoying. I’m just enjoying the journey.”
Christensen continued, “He’s a very complex character, and there’s a lot going on. But I’m really loving getting to sort of play the more heroic side of the character in the Ahsoka show, and I’m very excited for Season 2.”
After first enjoying the pre-Darth Vader position in 2002’s Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and 2005’s Revenge of the Sith, Christensen reprised Anakin for the 2022 Disney+ collection Obi-Wan Kenobi, reuniting with Ewan McGregor.

The present is ready earlier than the occasions of Revenge of the Sith, which ends with Anakin’s transformation into Darth Vader after being severely injured in a lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan.
