HELLO THERE OBI WAN SERIES
It's not really a stretch to see if the series sees season two, both will play significantly bigger parts, even though we still have three more episodes to go. On the secondary front, Hera ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and her son, Jacen ( Evan Whitten), were given significantly bigger roles this time around beyond the usual dogfighting we're used to seeing from Hera. This is easily the best outing from Christensen in the Star Wars franchise. In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, McGregor repeated the line, and its become a big fan. Audiences were finally able to see a version of the character that was able to move on. Of course, 'Hello there' is the first line said by Obi-Wan (Alex Guinness) in the original Star Wars. Best of all, Christensen was allowed to show an Anakin beyond Darth Vader that the canon has largely leaned on as of late. It also didn't hurt how much the two know each other in real life.

(L-R): Captain Carson Teva (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee), Chopper, Chancellor Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) and Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in Lucasfilm's STAR WARS: AHSOKA, exclusively on Disney+. It's infuriating since there hasn't been much as far as a positive response to de-aging CG, especially given the recent efforts of 2023's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. I don't know why the same couldn't have been done with Anakin in the flashback scenes. They didn't de-age Dawson and cast another actress – the brilliant Ariana Greenblatt – to play her younger counterpart. Is casting lookalikes a thing of the past? It's a regular thing with stunt performers. Speaking of which, I get how much people love to use de-aging CG nowadays, but it seems like overkill.

(L-R): Huyang (David Tennant) and Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in Lucasfilm's STAR WARS: AHSOKA, exclusively on Disney+. Ahsoka allowed Christensen to take Anakin into not only familiar territory but a new direction while fully embracing the role he didn't have to share. Sharing the role made for great nostalgia, but we were spoon-fed what was expected of the Dark Lord of the Sith, offering a sliver of what Anakin and Obi-Wan once had before reestablishing their rivalry. It was quite a memorable moment for sure, with James Earl Jones returning to voice Darth Vader, but also reintroduced fans to Hayden Christensen, who returned to the role for the first time since 2005's Revenge of the Sith and saw his transformation complete. Such was the case with the Ewan McGregor-starred Obi-Wan Kenobi series that closed the gap a little further on the title character while providing greater depth into his regrets concerning his former padawan Anakin Skywalker. Much of the narrative concerning Star Wars in the Disney era has been trying to introduce new stories while providing more nuance to the existing ones.
