Star Wars: This is how Rey is influenced by Anakin Skywalker

Hayden Christensen, who shaped the science fiction universe as Anakin Skywalker in the “Star Wars” saga, reflected on the long-term impact of his character on the Jedi Order and its philosophy in an interview with Vanity Fair. Christensen sees Anakin as the origin of fundamental changes in the Jedi Order that could eventually lead to a new form of the order under the leadership of Rey Skywalker.

In the series “Ahsoka,” Christensen’s character Anakin Skywalker was no longer portrayed as just a classic Jedi master, but rather as a combination of light and shadow. This ties in with his earlier development, when he was drawn to the dark side of the Force and ultimately sought to master it. The duality of Anakin’s nature reflects his own internal struggle and the concept of balance of power he was trying to find.

The character of Anakin Skywalker includes the ability to manifest as a force spirit – both in his redeemed form and as a shadow of his existence as Darth Vader. This suggests a deep understanding of the balance of power that allows him to operate from beyond the grave. This ability could influence the perspective long held by the Jedi Order and open new paths for a future generation of Jedi.

Given the developments initiated by Anakin, Rey may feel inspired to create a Jedi Order that focuses on the search for balance and is not solely dedicated to the light side of the Force. This interpretation is supported by the fact that Rey chooses a yellow lightsaber – a symbol of the balance she strives for and a departure from the strict duality of light and darkness that had previously defined the Order.

Taken together, these points provide insight into the possible direction and philosophy of a Jedi Order shaped by the teachings of Rey and the experiences of Anakin, and incorporating experiences on both sides of the Force. This can be seen as an evolution of the classic understanding of the Jedi Order, and it remains to be seen how this interpretation will manifest itself in future Star Wars stories.
