When Hayden Christensen returned to Star Wars in Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was well known that he reunited with Ewan McGregor, whom he acted alongside in the prequels. However, what’s not as well known was when he acted in Ahsoka, he was also reunited with the actor who played the titular character. As it turns out, when Hayden attended New York City’s Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in 1995, he was classmates with Rosario Dawson, who, funnily enough, viewed him as a mentor.

Dawson describes her early acting journey and highlights her positive memories of Christensen. “Kids was in the theaters, and my grandmother was like, ‘If you're going to take this seriously, you go to acting class.’ She could afford one semester, and in those couple of weeks over that summer I got to meet Hayden and do a class where I learned how to really feel a drop of water hit my head and drip down my body. I learned how to go method!” When talking about her recent reunion with him, she mentioned, “It is a pretty cool thing to know that we have a history that we were able to play with and actually engage with, and that there is a history there that didn't have to get made up.”

“It's really been a very special experience for us to get to reunite on this project,” says Hayden, “and to get to play these characters that have the history to their relationship that they do, and get to explore some of that with someone that I've known for quite a while myself.”

The first season of Ahsoka is now available in its entirety on Disney+, starring Dawson in the leading role. A second season has been announced.
