Ryan Gosling is calling on Anakin Skywalker for assistance. Gosling, who is set to lead “ Star Wars ” franchise installment “ Star Wars: Starfighter ,” had dinner with iconic star Hayden Christensen, who famously played the young Darth Vader in the prequel films (he later reprised the role for series “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Ahsoka.”)

The series will begin production in the U.K. next week, but that didn't stop Lucasfilm from having a showcase.

Hayden Christensen will reprise his role of the moody teen padawan turned Sith overlord, Anakin Skywalker, for Season 2 of “ Ahsoka .” The news was confirmed by the actor himself late Friday evening during Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo.
