The actor will participate in a new Disney series, starring Rosario Dawson.
The Serie The Mandalorian, Directed and written by Jon Favreau, it thrilled Star Wars fans on the Disney Plus platform. The story unfolded five years after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983), that is, after the death of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader.
Therefore, it is curious the announcement of The Hollywood Reporter for Hayden Christensen to reprise the role he played in The clone Wars (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005), specifically for the live action series Ahsoka, which will begin filming at the beginning of next year.
According to the same source, Rosario Dawson will play the charismatic character again Ahsoka Tano, a jedi who appeared in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) and that he made his live debut in the second season of The Mandalorian.
Tano was Anakin’s Padawan, so the character may appear as memories of the protagonist.
The portal disneylatino.com indicates that Tano is part of the same race of another important teacher jedi, Shaak Ti, who first appeared in Star Wars Episode II: The Clone Wars. Both are togrutas, a breed known for its colorful headdress that resembles two horns.
Tano’s home planet is Shili, one of the most important in the Galactic Republic. Tano was discovered there in her childhood, when Master Plo Koon discovered her sensitivity to force.
During the Clone Wars, however, the great Jedi temple is attacked by a mysterious enemy, and everyone believes that Tano is responsible. Accused of treason, she interrupts her training and rebels against the system, knowing she is innocent.
Although he manages to prove that he has no part in the event, he loses confidence in the Order and leaves his training, loses his lightsaber and never officially becomes a jedi.
Favreau will serve as executive producer and Dave Filoni – who has served as supervisor, producer and director on various productions in the Star Wars universe – is the screenwriter.
Disney has also announced that Hayden Christensen will participate in the series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which will star Ewan McGregor. (E)
