Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.

The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).

The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.

Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.

I still can't believe we got Hayden in the Clone Wars Armor. What was your favorite part of Ahsoka??

[HuntertalksComics]

hayden will always be the goat. just seeing him swing the saber you can tell he’s really dedicated and spent a lot of time practicing

[Mojave_Myth]

He is Anakin and now he's Darth Vader too. There can't be another, he solidified himself like Mark Hamil did as Luke

[ftswaee]

“You lack conviction” my favorite line from thys series.

[devonstewart]

I was freaking out when I saw Hayden in the clone wars armor and was really thrilled when they brought him back to reprise his role as Anakin.

[Fable_]

If you watch any movie where Hayden has a sword, he still does that swinging move 😂

[Elidrys]

Anakin is such a badass and Hayden is such a good guy and underrated actor. Great to see him back and getting some love.

[HonorKnight]

Hayden was great. Grew up to his movies. 14 year difference between us so he was definitely someone I looked up too.

[craigprosser]

That scene where he walks out of the smoke and they flash full Vader costume is the single greatest shot in all of Star Wars whatever you think of this show

[raemdespairbringer]

The elegance in every move of Hayden with the Lightsaber is like seeing the highest of the jedi era in the galaxy, love it ❤

[robwatson]

I cant belive what fighting shape he mmanaged to keep himself in fpr 20 years, he hasnt missed a step

[nunyah]

Episode was a rollercoaster ride of emotions

[derekseven]

Having Hayden back is unbelievably cool loved the prequels and I am glad they got hidden back to fill in the blanks and do more with the character. And I hope they bring him back for more

[gray]

I'm so glad that actors who loved their roles are getting to reprise them.

[IronMan]

I had no idea that Rosario and Hayden knew each other, prior to working on Ahsoka, that's incredible

[danbush]

The fact that Hayden and Ewan legitimately hold the world record for the longest on-screen sword duel in cinematic history is almost unbelievable. That is, until you see Hayden handing a lightsaber.

Seeing him really getting into and embracing the character is honestly really wonderful to see. He looks like he's having a blast, and he karking deserves it.

[Sledgefficia]

He’s forever anakin 🐐 thank you Hayden for coming back

[joelsallee]

I loved ahsoka and anakin on screen, live action. So glad Hayden is back as Anakin. Strong casting for ahsoka

[randymarshislorde]

Dudes a legend, makes me so happy to see the prequels getting so much love nowadays

[elboyo]

his choreography for that fight scene was next level Hayden should be the one coaching the other actors on lightsaber duels cuz he's the only one who makes it look like he swings that thing with intent to kill.
