I was pretty bummed that Hayden Christensen barely got to do anything in Obi-Wan, short of a flashback and walking around in the Vader armor. Now, that appears to be changing to some degree for Ahsoka. No, I doubt he’ll be a major player, given how far into the future (and after his death) the show is set, but the latest trailer shows that he will be a part of the series, and probably already has more lines than he did in Obi-Wan.
What’s interesting, however, is that Christensen seems to be paying direct homage to the much-praised performance of Matt Lanter, who voiced Anakin in Clone Wars, and is credited with giving a lot more dimension to the character than George Lucas’s prequel trilogy allowed.
