Rosario Dawson and Hayden Christensen discuss 'Ahsoka' | AP interview

Rosario Dawson and Hayden Christensen first worked together on the 2003 journalism scandal film "Shattered Glass." They're back together on-screen in the "Star Wars" series "Ahsoka" as Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker, a character pairing first seen in the 2008 animated film "The Clone Wars." The two actors sat down with AP entertainment journalist Leslie Ambriz to talk about their bond, the power of the "Star Wars" fandom - and their future in that galaxy far, far away. #ahsoka #starwars #rosariodawson #haydenchristensen

I’m glad Hayden got to listen to this interview with us

[@its_a_MADD_world]

Hayden seems like a quiet dude. He was probably very happy he didn't have to do much speaking. 😉

[@lilevil_bricks]

I was hoping someone else noticed😂

[@Semperf11]

Rosario is massive fangirl so it's not surprising she has alot more to say, hayden's done and said all this 20 years ago

[@callmejay05]

Tbf, Ms. Dawson plays the main character of the show. And the show is named after her character.

[@sclose1970]

So great to see Hayden get to experience some love for the role he's played in the Star Wars Universe. As much as I loved his portrayal of Anakin's turn to the dark side, it was his portrayal of Anakin's youthful optimism and confidence that really made his downfall that much more tragic.

Yes. Krazyleen can't live with her fails and it always bring her back to GL's SW. Ahsoka, Obi Wan, Anakin and Luke are still the things moving SW along and making the fanbase emotional. It is sad she is just ruining her own creation. Fin, Poe, Rey, Kylo, Luuke, Lea, Han, Lando deserved much more.

I’ve read a lot of the books, and I watch everything that comes out. Thank you both Rosario and Hayden for bringing Star Wars to life for me. It was so awesome to be able to see Ahsoka and Anakin have those moments in the show, and it seemed to give Ahsoka the peace she needed. Well done, and I hope to see more of you both in the future. ❤🤗

I have to admit to not loving Hayden in the prequels. I always felt his Annikin was nothing like what I envisioned back when I first saw "Star Wars" back in 1977. However, seeing him in "Ahsoka" was without a doubt wonderful. His scenes with both Rosario and Ariana were amazing. His lightsaber work was inspiring.

[@harbs_cantina]

I wonder how those fans, who tweeted about Ventris dying, feel now with her having resurfaced in The Bad Batch? :)

[@Halloweendm]

Whether they liked her in Bad Bath or not, bringing Ventress in broke established canon. Canon is important otherwise why not have Anakin in the Acolyte too?! Or having Anakin running around in Mando season 4 on his own adventures?! If canon isn’t ‘respected’ then the adventures and stories you like losing meaning as anything could happen at any time.

[@DarthChosen]

[@VariaIV]

Loving her as Ahsoka, And Hayden has my absolute undying adoration. Mando 3 and Acolyte are the abominations of their lore and characters. To have Anakin’s arc diminished to oblivion with the “I am iron man Palpatine “ arc is an affront to Hayden’s legacy as Anakin. I’m so protective of this man and his character
