Anakin Skywalker has never been one dimensional.
The Big Picture It is difficult to articulate the depth of Anakin Skywalker . His character is contoured by tragedy, love, friendship, loss, confusion, hope, and perhaps most importantly, his character is contoured by the way in which he feels everything so very intensely. Hayden Christensen did a phenomenal job of playing Anakin in the Star Wars prequels, but two films were not enough to really dive into Anakin’s multifaceted character.
Hayden Christensen Drew Upon Matt Lanter's Portrayal of Anakin Skywalker Matt Lanter voiced Anakin in The Clone Wars, and he grasped the essence of Anakin’s emotional complexity superbly. Matt Lanter was able to portray Anakin when he was at his happiest, while also maintaining that dark edge to Anakin that seemed to always be haunting him.
During the Ahsoka episode where a sequence of Force visions thrusts Ahsoka Tano and Anakin into the past, we see Anakin at different stages throughout his life. But this Force vision belongs to Ahsoka, and so the Anakin we see is very much reminiscent of Ahsoka’s memories and impressions of Anakin. Anakin was Ahsoka’s Master during the Clone Wars, and thus far, only Matt Lanter had portrayed Anakin as a Jedi teacher.
'Ahsoka' Revealed Different Versions Of Anakin Skywalker The merging of Matt Lanter and Hayden Christensen’s Anakins was incredibly satisfying. Ahsoka’s Force vision may have been Dave Filioni’s way of bringing The Clone Wars to live action, if only for just a few moments, but the transition was seamless, with Hayden Christensen adorned in his Jedi armor attire first revealed in Season 1 of The Clone Wars.
There's Nothing Wrong With the Star Wars Prequels' Version of Anakin The Anakin we know of in Attack of the Clones was on the cusp between adolescence and adulthood, eager to prove himself and rise in the ranks of the Jedi Order. But one of Anakin’s weaknesses during this film was his impatience, and his Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was reluctant to let Anakin become a fully-fledged Jedi Knight until he had exercised some self-restraint and patience – lest he ran away with his flighty emotions.
