While it is surely exciting news to see Hayden Christensen inAhsoka, the question arises how will they incorporate his character in the timeline?Ahsokais set five years after the events ofReturn of the Jedi, similar toThe Mandalorianwhich means that Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker is dead at this point in time. Considering that Ahsoka Tano was Anakin Skywalker’s padawan before his transition to the dark side, Christensen might appear in a few flashback sequences.
