The Mandalorian’s Bo-Katan Kryze actress Katee Sackhoff and Star Wars prequel trilogy Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen officially met, bringing together an excellent Mandalorian and Jedi duo. Although The Mandalorian is set significantly later than the prequels both in the Star Wars timeline and in the chronology of Star Wars movies and TV shows, both Bo-Katan and Anakin are beloved Star Wars characters. Seeing the actors come together for the first time, and seeing their delight at meeting, is genuinely touching.
In an image shared by therealkateesackhoff on Instagram, Bo-Katan Kryze actress Katee Sackhoff and Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen pose together. Charmingly, Sackhoff tagged the photo with the caption “Anakin and Bo walk into a bar…Go!”
This sweet image is an excellent reminder of Star Wars’ history and what the franchise continues to bring to audiences.
Although the Star Wars prequel trilogy and The Mandalorian were released decades apart, the meet-up between Katee Sackhoff and Hayden Christensen just goes to show that Star Wars is truly united across the generations. In fact, over the years, actors from different periods from across the Star Wars eras seem to have come in even more contact. Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill and Padmé Amidala actress Natalie Portman also met for the first time very recently, joking about how they were mother and son.
In addition to bringing about some excellent photos and touching moments, these points of connection between actors who represent very different eras throughout Star Wars are demonstrative of one of the best aspects of Star Wars. With Star Wars’ fiftieth anniversary already in the not-so-distant future, it’s clear that the franchise remains relevant and keeps building upon itself in fascinating and successful ways. Many of Star Wars’ upcoming TV shows are certainly proof of that.
Even with The Mandalorian being a much newer Star Wars addition, it has become celebrated and loved, evidenced by the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie. Moreover, familiar faces have been welcomed back with open arms, such as Hayden Christensen’s two-part return in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka. It’s truly delightful to see Star Wars actors come together and acknowledge their shared community, and this image between Katee Sackhoff and Hayden Christensen is an excellent example.
