Hayden Christensen - The one and only Anakin Skywalker.
Sorry, not sorry.đ
Nothing against anyone else who auditioned for the role of Young Darth Vader but Iâve never seen or wanted anyone else in the role except Hayden.
No one else need apply. No substitutes are acceptable.
This is how I feel when I see blogs putting together endless lists of actors who auditioned for roles in Star Wars like Anakin Skywalker. It feels like they are trying to pit fans against each other or actors against each other like Charlie Hunnam, Leonardo DiCaprio and Hayden.
Every actor has stories about the roles that got away. Thatâs Hollywood.
Hayden the Conqueror? There are two projects getting underway on the life of William the Conqueror.
One project is a tv series that has been cast with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) and James Norton.
The other project is a feature film titled "THE CONQUEST: William & Matilda" which has not yet been cast and is said to also feature prominently Matilda of Flanders.
Actors rumored to be considered are Hayden (Anakin Skywalker) as William the Conqueror and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) as Harold II.
Filming of the movie is planned for next year, in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

âHayden Christensen Signs With Independent Artist Group (The Hollywood Reporter)â
Signing with IAG sees the actor reteaming with Jim Osborne who signed him back in the early 2000s during Haydenâs first Star Wars years. Hayden was previously signed with Paradigm where he was also repped at one time by Osbourne.
What does it mean to fans?
Those of us who arenât all that knowledgeable about the business decisions an actor makes will likely hope the change brings good projects to Hayden. We are always wanting to see him in more roles.
Fans have been thrilled in the last few years to welcome Haydenâs return to Star Wars. He has expressed his gratitude many times and says he has found his tribe but the fans hopes for their favorite actor doesnât end with Star Wars.
The hope remains for Hayden to succeed in projects outside of the Star Wars Universe as well and fans have been anticipating and dreaming of new roles for him. Right now we are sending our best wishes to Hayden for his career.

Ariana posted a short video clip on X (Twitter) which looks like their last scene together of filming. It sounds like they are saying goodbye. Is that Dave Filoni's voice sounding like a big fan while filming? đ

Hayden Christensen is still top secret. đđľď¸ââď¸Â
Amazon recently featured a merchandise description teasing characters from Ahsoka including Anakin Skywalker. Anakinâs name was edited out once fans started to notice it.Â
You can still find the âStar Wars: Ahsoka, Hera Syndulla oval portrait premium t-shirt by searching for itâ.
From Amazon: ââŚTransport yourself to a galaxy far, far away with cool new apparel featuring Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, Anakin Skywalker, Mon Mothma, and all your favorite Star Wars Ahsoka characters!âÂ
Disney, Lucasfilm and Star Wars had a stellar good day at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations.
Obi-wan Kenobi and Andor were nominated in multiple categories with Obi-wan Kenobi nominated for Best Limited Anthology Series and Andor for Best Drama Series.
The excitement is just beginning. Hopefully weâll see Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen and the cast together at this yearâs Primetime Emmy Awards Show, tentatively scheduled for September 18, 2023 pending WGA strike resolution.Â

Updates (thoughts) about Ahsoka. (Coming to Disney Plus August 23.)
Seems Haydenâs role in any Star Wars project will always be top secret. Ahsoka is no exception. We know the drill by now. đ BUTâŚ.
Though news articles say differently and the Hollywood Reporter says Hayden is in Ahsoka, Disney, Lucasfilm and cast will not confirm it. Itâs all about the tease.đ
Rosario Dawson danced all around the question when asked in a recent Total Film interview. She still kept Haydenâs appearance vague.
Rosario: âItâs definitely one of those things that would be super cool if he was [in Ahsoka], but Iâm just really grateful that weâre in the same universe.â (Total Film magazine on sale now.)

STILL⌠IMDb have been finalizing and adding updates to the âattachedâ Ahsoka cast and crew pages which they do at the end of productions. Hayden is listed for 1 episode (Ep 1) as Anakin / Vader as he was when the page first went up.
So how much will we see of Hayden in Ahsoka?
Rosario believes Dave Filoni set up Ahsoka as season 5 of Rebels. So where is Vader in that timeline? Anakin? Will the World Between Worlds figure in at all? Weâll have to see where all that goes in Ahsoka because nobodyâs talking.
Iâm going to watch regardless but here I am trying not to get my hopes up again. đđđ¤
