A lot of Star Wars fans were happy to see Hayden Christensen back in Star Wars, but Clone Wars fans were up for a treat in Ahsoka when they actually got to see Christensen donning the Clone Wars armor from the show.
Though we only got to see Anakin in a smoky battlefield and hologram, an image of a standee has been released with Anakin in full gear. Check this out:

With Anakin being 22-years-old around the time of Revenge of the Sith, a lot of fans have been quick to point out that Anakin is supposed to be only 19-years-old in this image of him in armor—further emphasizing the sibling dynamic between him and Ahsoka.
They didn’t reveal a standee of tiny Ahsoka from the show, but older Ahsoka with the white robe also gets her own standee:

So far, the return of Anakin Skywalker has been the highlight for the series, and it is kind of hinted that Anakin will have some kind of presence for the rest of the Ahsoka show, what with the finale showing that he’s watching over Ahsoka and her own student in the form of Sabine.
It is kind of odd that Anakin would be watching over Ahsoka more as compared to Luke, but I guess it makes more sense since we’ve watched Anakin grow with Ahsoka more. It also doesn’t help that they need a fully CG-render of Luke Skywalker to put him to screen instead of just a recast.
Was Sebastian Stan too busy with his Marvel projects?
Watch the full first season of Ahsoka now streaming on Disney+.
