Summary
- Star Wars has successfully fixed and improved Anakin Skywalker's character development through shows like The Clone Wars and Obi-Wan Kenobi, absolving him of blame for his fall to the dark side.
- Hayden Christensen's return as Anakin in Ahsoka showcased his best performance yet, blending the heart of Anakin with the brutality of Vader, allowing for compelling storytelling.
- Star Wars still needs to reunite Anakin with Padmé Amidala to properly round out and fix their tragic love story, and there are various ways to bring Natalie Portman back into the franchise.
Star Wars was able to reintroduce Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in the past few years, reuniting him with some of the most important people in his life; however, there’s one more person Anakin needs to be reunited with. Last year's Obi-Wan Kenobi was a Star Wars event like no other, reuniting Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker with Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi. Since then, Christensen has returned again – this time alongside Rosario Dawson as the live-action Ahsoka Tano.
The years have passed since the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and the reputation of the prequels has recovered somewhat. Christensen's return has been embraced by viewers, and he's delighted at the way the fandom has responded to him. But, even now, there's one Anakn Skywalker reunion Star Wars needs to show – a reunion that will truly tie together the last threads of the prequel trilogy.
