The Star Wars universe is changing for good with Ahsoka, and episode four just redefined everything.
*This article contains spoilers related to Episode Four of Ahsoka*
“Fallen Jedi,” episode four of the streaming series Ahsoka, just landed in our universe and ripped apart everything fans knew about the galaxy far, far away in 30 minutes.
Following the runtime of its predecessor, “Fallen Jedi” packs the turmoil of Baylan Skoll’s pursuit for justice while Sabine’s past between Star Wars Rebels and Ahsoka is finally revealed.

But, before every fan could process the reality of Sabine Wren’s (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) betrayal, Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) awakes in a land reminiscent of the World Between Worlds.
Running with viewers’ emotions, showrunner Dave Filoni shakes everything up with “Hey, Snips.”
Is that Matt Latner’s Anakin Skywalker? Or… It couldn’t be.
Though viewers have already seen the demise of Marrok (who’s not Starkiller) and the groundbreaking hyperspace jump of Lady Morgan, Hayden Christensen appears behind Ahsoka.
Though fans have recently seen Christensen reprise his role of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker/Dark Lord Darth Vader, the inclusion of Skywalker in Ahsoka brings a far heavier weight for many:
Another fan writes:
The power of ending episode four with the reveal of Anakin Skywalker, the Anakin before his demise to the dark side, is palpable.
Dave Filoni understands what game he is playing and isn’t playing around.
Now, with Anakin mentoring Ahsoka in the life after, fans can finally watch the live-action interaction between Snips and Skyguy unfold and completely redefine The Mandalorian universe. Anakin’s appearance is far more significant than “fan service,” as his inclusion in the afterworld is the perfect delegation location to mentor his apprentice further.
The return of Hayden Christensen to Star Wars was like the coming of the people’s champion for many fans.
Now, however, it appears that Christensen’s appearance in Ahsoka seems far deeper than his showcase in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Fans will finally be able to see a new side of Anakin, perhaps one that was meant to always mentor Tano.
