Not only will Hayden Christensen reprise his role as Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker for the Kenobi series, but he'll also appear in Ahsoka. Hayden is best known for his portrayal of Anakin and Darth Vader in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. All we want is for Ahsoka to call Anakin "Sky-Guy" in live-action at least once! Hayden's Anakin in the Ahsoka series will likely be a Force Ghost, given that the series is set after the events of Return of the Jedi.
