Now , Filoni has had the chance to mouth more to Anakin ’s role in Ahsoka ’s story with theDagobah Dispatchpodcast , where he gives the real grounds for the iconicStar Warscharacter ’s homecoming . He accent the purpose of Anakin ’s coming back centering on Ahsoka rather than himself , as his own story had already been recount and make out in the Skywalker saga . Filoni also discourse fulfilling " a hope " made to viewers when Luke Skywalker was first told about his father , portraying a heroic image of Anakin that people like Ahsoka have always seen him as .
So he had done a mess of watching and he ’s talked about that , and we just talk about this is n’t really a story about Anakin , but it ’s important how Ahsoka reckon Anakin - because this isherlived experience . Your story was already told in George ’s saga , that ’s done . But it is important for her because you ’re her mentor . And you have to be both … I was always saying you have to be the great person that she admired , that we all look up to , that when I was a tike and I heard Luke ’s father was Anakin Skywalker , and I was like “ He must ’ve been the greatest Jedi ever , ” let ’s … let ’s action that hope , because we saw you be new , we saw you be adventuresome , but really come down to the dark side .
Filoni ’s and Christensen ’s shared end in play Anakin to biography inAhsokawas toportray him as the " heroic older brother " Ahsoka always saw him as , with the ability to make light of tough situation but also to be a role model and defender . He also apportion the delectation he had in seeing Christensen alongside Ariana Greenblatt , who portray Padawan Ahsoka in the series .
But let ’s show you as the heroic old brother , the person that kinda cracks sassy and have jokes and , you get laid , can be serious , but altogether cavalier . He was all for it , he dove so far into it , it was almost … you know , just amazing . It gave me pause just to stand there and look at him in the costume , put up next to Ariana , because in my head , it ’s really no different , no matter what the medium was . The image is always Anakin with Ahsoka .
Filoni even likens the moral force to one straight out of George Lucas’American Graffitti , hinting Lucas very well may have drive inspiration from himself when developing Ahsoka ’s and Anakin ’s human relationship with Filoni forThe Clone Wars . He emphasizes howseeing Anakin and receive closure from him make for Ahsoka from being the stoical " Ronin wanderer " to a variation of herself more open and free , which made Christensen ’s restitution as Anakin life-sustaining to her character growing .
Those two character , this older crony younger sister dynamic , it rather almost feels like something out ofAmerican Graffiti , you lie with , when they ’re in the car and I think Mackenzie Phillips is the one in the cable car , and she ’s trying to sustain course with Milner . Right ? It ’s just , it ’s that dynamic that those two have , and they had it , and I conceive they both did an incredible job in those scenes and humanized this fibre , who up until that point , really feel like a Ronin wanderer , very much to herself , does n’t want to open up up . And then that kinda break that wide open go forrad in the show .
Ahsoka Needed The Hero Anakin Always Was To Her
Ahsoka ’s at her low point when Anakin visits her in the World Between Worlds , and what she needs to really change and return is the sub Anakin always was to her . While the knowledge of who Anakin went on to become haunts Ahsoka through most of her meter pass with him in these flashback , Anakin knows how influential his impact on her can still be , and he uses that to show her that both he and Ahsoka herself are more than what masses think of them - or even what they think of themselves . So long as they make the right choice when face with it by letting the Force draw them , then no one else can act upon their destiny , or determine their Charles Frederick Worth found on their past .
This is the real intellect why Christensen returns as Anakin inAhsoka , asAhsoka needs to see the poor boy she screw Anakin to bein ordering to invite the right closure to move forward . It was important , then , for Christensen to adopt the version of Anakin as seen inThe Clone Warsrather than who he portrayed in the prequelStar Warstrilogy , as he had to become the somebody Ahsoka always know . It was her Master she needed to see and cipher with inAhsoka , and because of his object lesson , Ahsoka can now move forward into becoming the Jedi - or Force - wielder - she ’s always been destined to be .
