Hayden Christensen skal være med i den næste sæson af Ahsoka

I næste uge begynder produktionen af anden sæson af Ahsoka-serien. Under Star Wars Celebration blev det afsløret, at Hayden Christensen igen vil optræde som Anakin Skywalker i den kommende sæson. Vi fandt også ud af, at ingen ringere end admiral Ackbar vil dukke op, og ifølge seriens skaber Dave Filoni vil han ende i en kamp med ingen ringere end Thrawn.

Filoni jokede også med, hvor svært det var at stoppe sig selv fra at skrive Ackbars mest berømte replik:

"It took all of my effort to resist writing the line - 'It's a trap!' Because I'm like, I can't do that, that would be so lame. Because this guy can't always get into traps. You'd think he would see it this time."

Som vi tidligere har rapporteret, vil Rory McCann overtage rollen som Baylan Skoll efter Ray Stevensons bortgang. Under Star Wars Celebration talte Dave Filoni om vanskeligheden ved at miste Ray:

"Season 2 was predictably a big challenge because of losing Ray. I knew Ray from working on voice acting with him. It was a challenge for me to consider continuing for a while. But I have a wonderful support group in Jon and Rosario."

Med hensyn til beslutningen om at fortsætte karakteren med en ny skuespiller sagde Filoni:

"I found a way in — I had Ray in my head. I'm grateful for all my conversations with him about Baylan. So, I understood what to do, it just took a while to get there. I'm very confident now that Ray would be happy with the direction that we've chosen. The character is meant to be the parallel to Ahsoka in every way. If there's a light, there's a dark, and Baylan is representing a different journey for a Jedi — as you (Rosario) represent one who walked away from the Order, so did he. That's a parallel that must continue."
