Rosario Dawson is keeping it tight-lipped about any major Star Wars: Ahsoka cameos, but she is saying a lot by not saying a lot.
In a recent interview with Total Film, Dawson opened up about her upcoming Disney+ series, and she was asked straight out if Hayden Christensen would appear as Anakin Skywalker.
Dawson tells the outlet, “It’s pretty remarkable and exciting. We were teenagers, and then I saw him right immediately afterwards go into this universe. I never could have fathomed that I would have had any part of that besides just being a fan of his and being really proud of him.
“It’s just been really cool that at this moment, I’m joining it, and he’s been able to come back [in 2022’s Obi-Wan Kenobi] and also get embraced by the Star Wars family in a way that I think is much deserved. It’s definitely one of those things that would be super cool if he was [in Ahsoka], but I’m just really grateful that we’re in the same universe.”
Dawson will obviously not confirm the story, but there’s also no way she could hide her excitement about working with Hayden Christensen. The actor recently made his return to the galaxy far, far away for the first time since Revenge of the Sith with his appearance in Obi-Wan Kenobi, a significant moment for the Star Wars fandom.
