"It’s Important How Ahsoka Sees Anakin": Dave Filoni Explains The Real Reason For Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Return

Dave Filoni has spoken about Hayden Christensen’s return as Anakin Skywalker in Ahsoka, and in doing so, he’s also revealed the real reason why he had to appear. The most highly praised episode of the latest live-action Star Wars TV show is no doubt Ahsoka episode 5, which sees Anakin’s and Ahsoka’s first reunion since the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series – and the first-ever time in live-action. In the World Between Worlds, Anakin takes Ahsoka through memories of various Clone Wars battles as he teaches her one last lesson she needs to move forward. Afterward, Ahsoka begins her transformation from Ahsoka the Gray to Ahsoka the White, but all else about Anakin’s re-appearance remains a purposeful mystery.
