Ahsoka Season 2 Includes Hayden Christensen

Star Wars Celebration is being held in Tokyo. As part of that there was a panel on Ahsoka Season 2 which begins production next week. Info that they were willing to reveal is that Hayden Christensen will return once again as Anakin Skywalker. A role he reprised in season 1 to great effect. In addition it has been confirmed that Rory McCann (Game of Thrones) is playing Jedi Baylan Skol, replacing Ray Stevenson who passed shortly before the first season premiered. Ahsoka creator spoke about Ray and his character saying:

“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,” added Filoni who made the decision in concert with the late actor’s family.

“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 (Jedi) order, so did he. That’s a parallel that must continue,” said Filoni.
