What is with some people acting like they’re throwing him into something in which he has no place? He freaking trained Ahsoka, any project with her will have a built-in connection to Anakin. If they want to use him more that’s perfectly valid.

There’s no denying that fans love Christensen for his portrayal of the Jedi-turned-Sith Lord, and it was his layered portrayal embedded with complexity, and raw emotion, thathelped him to bring one of the most beautifully written characters to life.
However, after he became a big name, following his outstanding performance, it was a big adjustment for him. During an interview withEmpire, Christensen explained the massive changes and his experience after getting featured in the sci-fi franchise. He said,
It was a big adjustment for me. Everything changed pretty quickly in my life when I got cast in Star Wars, you know? It was an exciting time, but everything was very new.
TheOutcastactor added how he is immensely grateful toGeorge Lucas.Hehelped him a lot and navigated him through his new life.
I appreciated that George Lucas went out of his way to try to help me navigate a lot of that. But there’s no way of really preparing for it. You just sort of learn as you go.
Nevertheless, Christensen’s task of portraying one of the most complex arcs in the franchise’s history—the transition from a young and hopeful Jedi to the most feared Sith Lord has been adored by the fans and added to the franchise’s popularity.
