In a widely circulated clip, Hayden Christensen, famed for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker, extends a warm welcome to Amandla Stenberg, embracing her into the Star Wars realm.
"The Acolyte," debuting on Disney+ on June 4th, marks the latest addition to the upcoming lineup of Star Wars shows, promising to be an exciting inclusion alongside the franchise's cinematic and television offerings.
Taking place a century prior to the events of the prequel trilogy in the Star Wars universe, "The Acolyte" will delve into previously undisclosed aspects of Jedi history and it seems that the cast and crew are prepared for the task at hand.
In interviews about "The Acolyte," the show's cast and crew have consistently demonstrated their affection for and expertise in the Star Wars universe, and Amandla Stenberg, who plays Mae, is no different.
Stenberg's heartfelt response to Hayden Christensen's welcoming message, shared on the official Star Wars Instagram account, suggests her long standing devotion to the Star Wars universe.
In the video, Stenberg is visibly trembling with excitement, playfully replaying the part of Christensen's message where he addresses her as "Hi, Amandla" multiple times. This charming moment reflects the immense adoration Christensen enjoys within the Star Wars community.
Hayden Christensen's journey in Star Wars has been challenging. Despite the prequel trilogy, especially Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, now being regarded as some of the franchise's finest, the stars faced considerable backlash upon their initial release.
It appears that Hayden Christensen is now receiving appreciation from viewers, particularly after revisiting his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker in recent television series like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka.
