Ahsoka season 1 featured Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, setting him up to appear again in future Star Wars projects. Although Christen's performance received criticism when the Star Wars prequels first came out, the fandom has warmed up the actor with time, celebrating his return to Star Wars in Obi-Wan Kenobi. His perfect portrayal in Ahsoka left fans clamoring for more, and there are several options for Christensen's next appearance as Anakin.
While Christensen's recent appearances have been limited to the Star Wars TV shows on Disney+, he could easily transition back to the movies if handled correctly. Ahsoka's flashbacks showed different versions of Anakin, opening several possibilities for future live-action projects. However, many Star Wars actors have played their respective characters across every medium, and Christensen can follow suit. Until Christensen's next appearance as Anakin is announced, 10 potential Star Wars projects offer the most exciting possibilities.

The next logical place for Christensen to return as Anakin is in Ahsoka season 2. Although a second season has not been officially announced, the season 1 finale ended with several plot lines and character arcs unresolved, setting up the next chapter of Ahsoka's story. Anakin's Force ghost even appears in the final shot of the series, and while this could be a final farewell to Christensen, it could also mean that Anakin still has a role to play in Star Wars.
9 Heir To The Empire Movie 
If Christensen doesn't return in Ahsoka season 2, he could instead appear in Dave Filoni's The Mandalorian Star Wars movie, which is set up to be a canon adaptation of Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire. Because the movie will likely conclude the Mandoverse TV shows, Luke Skywalker is almost guaranteed to play a role, allowing for a reunion between father and son after Return of the Jedi. If Ahsoka did escape Peridea and return to the Star Wars galaxy, then Anakin would help his former student one last time.
8 Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 
Another project that hasn't been greenlit, Christensen could return as Anakin in a potential Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2. This was Christensen's first return to the franchise since Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, paving the way for Anakin's role in Ahsoka and other potential Star Wars projects. While Christensen's performance in Obi-Wan Kenobi was praised, some fans felt he was underutilized, which season 2 could rectify if it ever happens.
