Actress Rosario Dawson was coy when asked if actor Hayden Christensen would reprise his roles as Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader for the new live-action “Star Wars” series, “Ahsoka,” slated to premiere on Disney+ in August.
Although Ahsoka Tano’s character got her start in the animated series “The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels,” Dawson helped the character make her live-action debut in “The Mandalorian” and reprized her role in “The Book of Boba Fett.”
Although Hayden Christensen is best known for portraying the fall of Anakin Skywalker and his birth as Darth Vader in the prequel trilogy, he recently reprized his role for the Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” which has fans hoping he will return to star. “Ahsoka.”

In a new interview with Total Film, Rosario Dawson revealed that she and Hayden Christensen were Lee Strasberg Theater & Film Institute classmates early in their respective careers.
“It’s been pretty unusual and exciting,” Dawson said of their shared history. “We were teenagers, and then I saw him right after that go into this universe. I never thought that I would have that part, other than just being a fan of his, and being so proud of him.”
However, he would not confirm whether or not his old classmate will appear in the new “Star Wars” series. “It’s really great that at this moment, I’m with him, and he’s able to come back [in 2022’s Obi-Wan Kenobi] and also embraced by the Star Wars family in a way that I think is very appropriate,” he said. “It’s definitely one of those things that would be really cool if he was [in Ahsoka]but I am very grateful that we are in the same universe.”

Many fans are hoping they will get to see Darth Vader have a live-action lightsaber match with Ahsoka Tano, who was once Anakin Skywalker’s padawan. Although they already clashed in “Star Wars: Rebels,” fans are hoping the two will get a rematch in live action. Dawson certainly hinted that he had to undergo some pretty intense training for his role in a May 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly on their Dagobah Dispatch podcast.
He said that the training was “pretty intense” and recalled how he had to practice wielding Ahsoka’s lightsaber for two hours a day, seven days a week. His training only continued when he started shooting his scenes. “And then you add when we’re actually filming and doing these different battles and having to keep studying them,” he added.
Ahsoka is also ambidextrous, which Dawson calls “just a lot to have.” He also hinted that the show jumps right into the action, describing that Ahsoka is “very fierce right from the start.” Dawson told the publication, “It’s never been a question of whether he’s capable. He meets every match head-on. There’s not an ounce of doubt from him, and that’s really different from someone who learned martial arts in their 40s who trying to protect their face.”

In addition to learning how to wield a lightsaber expertly with both hands, the actress admitted that she also had to let go of her Jedi mind tricks and use the Force in a way that looked convincing on screen. “It’s the intention and the desire behind it,” he explained. “I think I have it more than someone who just wants to move objects.”
“I definitely feel more empowered and confident portraying this character, and I think it comes through,” she added. “Even though I’m meditating, I feel like there’s an energy that we have and a power that we have that if we concentrate and focus it in the right way can move mountains.”
“Ahsoka” will be available to stream on Disney+ on August 23, 2023. Fans can watch the teaser trailer, which was first announced at Star Wars Celebration London, below.
