Although details about Anakin's specific role remain under wraps, the confirmation of his return promises more exciting interactions between Ahsoka and her former master.

During the Ahsoka panel at the event, Christensen expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the iconic character, saying, "It was a dream to get to do. The way they conceived how to do it was brilliant in getting to explore the World Between Worlds. I thought it was all really exciting."

Series creator Dave Filoni humorously remarked on the lengths he went to bring Christensen back, stating he had to "invent entire dimensions to make it happen." This playful comment underscores the creative efforts behind integrating Anakin into the new season.

Christensen also shared insights into the collaborative process, mentioning extensive discussions about Anakin's activities during the Clone Wars.
