How Well Do Hayden Christensen & Rosario Dawson Really Know Each Other?

[@bad2dabohn1992]

The fact they already have a friendship going on 29 years just means they were born to play Anakin/Ahsoka

[@wpsiamtwimnot]

29 😮😮 You didn't have to do math on me like that 😭

[@SirBillyDorseyJr]

Agreed! I love their chemistry so much.

[@asongforthemostbeautifulwo6476]

I always thought Ewan was the best at it. The way they talk about his duel with Maul, the fact that the actors were going so fast they had to slow down the footage on post for it to look “believable”, that’s impressive as fuck considering the choreography

[@CinePresto]

They been friends longer than I been alive

[@youngmaster7405]

the fact that's actually how long ahsoka's known anakin is also crazy

FACTS

[@unLUCKY95]

I love how entirely opposite Hayden is to the character of Anakin Skywalker. Anakin is cocky, impulsive and aggressive, while Hayden is himself is always so incredibly humble, calm and relaxed. I'm glad he's finally getting to enjoy this side of being an actor and getting the love he deserves from the fans.

Disney, listen. Do the right thing. Give us more Ahsoka. Give us more Anakin.

[@TheSwordOfTheJedi-u2p]

All they've given us over the last 10 years is Ahsoka.... enough already. More Hayden though, although I don't know what that would look like.

[@richlisola1]

But with better writing. They both deserve it.

[@miguelpadeiro762]

How about we retire Ahsoka and breath life into different stories for a change, like with Andor. Filioni has been extending his creative drought for far too long by recycling his characters in literally every project is affiliated in. He makes every project he's affiliated with feel like it's set in the confines of his head, where all the same characters reprise again and again as if the galaxy is a neighbourhood, instead of a living and breathing expansive world (literal galaxy) that star wars is meant to be

[@erikm8372]

I think it’s good to not "beat a dead horse", so to speak… like, don’t make it too much of a good thing, don’t overdo it and make it irritating. I think it’s better if they just stick to miniseries, or shows with one or two seasons (like Boba Fett)… even if they made more short films (Tales of the Jedi) or singular films (Solo), they could tell so many more stories. For example, The Mandalorian is great but it does have a lot of episodes, and there was some crossover with Boba Fett, and now the Grogu Mando movie coming out. That story arc is apparently ending with the movie, and people were confused by that… I was like, why be confused? 🤔 If the story arc or "chapter" or whatever has ended on a finale, that’s good. We can move on to some more stories. The SW universe is insanely big and it would be cool if they could tell as many stories as possible, like from Legends and the extended universe, given the technological advancements of modern times. Plus I’m sure all the characters will continue making appearances throughout the franchise, such as Anakin’s appearances in Ahsoka, or Ahsoka in Mando, etc. Since Thrawn appeared recently in Ahsoka, maybe his story and the Chiss can be told in a more detailed way in the future…

[@Gabrielle-v2x6v]

His voice is distinctively lower now in his early 40s as compared to his early 20s. Our voices don’t changed that much after puberty unless lots of smoking and/or singing loudly has been done. It seems he took voice lessons.

[@GopherBaroque61]

Hayden was not only great as Sam Monroe in Life As A House, he was fantastic as Stephen Glass in Shattered Glass.

[@aarons.2323]

I actually thought that was what he was nominated for. Since he was still in the midst of the public calling his Anakin too much of a whiner, he took that sniveling little weasel attitude and applied it to a guy who was really a sniveling little weasel and played him perfectly.

[@hocuspocus__]

exactly!! he played stephen glass so incredibly well, he was sooo infuriating ahaha

They were both in Shattered Glass. Rosario is one of the reporters with Forbes who wants to run a story on Stephen Glass.
