Hayden Christensen's debut in the Star Wars prequel trilogy was far from perfect. At the time, his performances in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith were mercilessly criticized by die-hard fans of the universe. However, over time, his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker has been appreciated (much less the poor script that was thrust upon him), and he has grown into one of the saga's leading characters.

Proof of Christensen's immense popularity can be seen in viewers' reactions to his return to his iconic role in Ahsoka. After the release of the fourth and fifth episodes of the show, the Internet was flooded with a wave of comments from an audience moved by the actor's performance.

The opportunity to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker was also a huge thrill for the artist himself. Behind-the-scenes footage from the show hit the web, in which Christensen shared his joy and gratitude for the opportunity.

"When I was called and offered to participate in the project, I was really delighted. I must admit that I still find it hard to believe. I am very grateful," he explained.

Rosario Dawson, who played the role of Ahsoka, also spoke enthusiastically about working with Christensen. The actress made no secret of the fact that reuniting with her longtime friend (they both attended the same classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in their youth) was extremely important to her.

The video shared by Entertainment Tonight also gives us a better look at the spectacular fight sequences starring both characters. You can watch the footage in question below.

Recall that for Christensen this is the second appearance in the role of Anakin / Darth Vader in recent years. Previously, we could admire the actor in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
