Obi-Wan Kenobi is not the only upcoming Star Wars series that Hayden Christensen will be starring in. According to sources with The Hollywood Reporter, Christensen has also signed up to reprise his iconic role of Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, in Ahsoka, another live-action series that’s centered on Anakin’s eponymous Padawan. Ahsoka is a fan-favorite Torguta who was co-created by George Lucas and introduced in 2008’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Rosario Dawson is starring as the fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi Knight survivor popular on the animation side of Star Wars who made her live-action debut in the second season of The Mandalorian.

Plot details are being kept in the far reaches of the Outer Rim, but it is known that longtime Star Wars lightsaber wielder Dave Filoni is writing the series and exec producing with Jon Favreau.

The Ahsoka series will reportedly take place five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. Skywalker will presumably be seen in the show in flashbacks and/or as a Force ghost.
