Thus far, Star Wars: Ahsoka has been delivering a surprising new take on the world of Star Wars. The show’s two most recent episodes have absolutely set the Internet ablaze, with moments and character interactions that they definitely weren’t expecting. That included multiple scenes between a younger Ahsoka Tano (Ariana Greenblatt) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), which flashed back to theirย Clone Wars-era stories together.

In a recent post on X, Greenblatt shared a set of photos of herself and Christensen posing together in plain clothes. The post is captioned “can a throwback #tbt be just a week old, *asking for a friend,”” hinting that the two hung out in person more recently than the actual filming of their Ahsoka scenes.

What Movies Has the Young Ahsoka Actress Been In?

At the age of only 16, Greenblatt has already accumulated a pretty prolific filmography. She portrayed the younger version of Zoe Saldana’s Gamora inย Avengers: Infinity War, as well as Sasha this year’sย Barbie,ย making her the second actress (alongside Saldana) to appear in two different billion-dollar franchises. Her filmography also includesย Stuck in the Middle, 65,ย andย Love and Monsters. Sheย is also set to play Tiny Tina in the forthcomingย Borderlandsย live-action movie.

How Did Hayden Christensen Return For Star Wars: Ahsoka?

Christensen’s stint on Ahsoka began in the show’s fourth episode, and marked his second modern-day return to the franchise after Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi. As the actor revealed in a recent featurette, appearing in Ahsoka was something of a no-brainer.

“When I got the phone call to talk about being a part of theย Ahsokaย project, I was thrilled,” Christensen explained. “Putting on the Anakin costume, getting to wear those Jedi robes, it blows your mind every time. I just feel very grateful.”
