Ahsoka: Rosario Dawson Almost Got In Trouble For Teasing Anakin Appearance

gamerant.com:

With all the hype and hubbub surrounding the organically multiplying collection ofStar Wars shows coming out, it almost seems like it would be impossible for any info leak to trump what people already know. Featuring tons of the worst-kept secrets this side of Marvel, upcoming shows like Ahsoka almost seem like they could hardly surprise fans at this point. But it looks like one star may have tested that theory.

Rosario Dawson, who is set to play the lead on Ahsoka after appearing as the character via cameos on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, apparently got a bit of a finger-wagging from Star Wars executives recently. Ironically, it was for teasing a reunion many fans pretty much already knew would happen. After sharing a headline that suggested Hayden Christensen would appear on Ahsoka to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Dawson quickly received a less-than-enthused response from Lucasfilm.

Back in October, Dawson discovered a headline that speculated on the idea that Christensen would play Anakin once again on Ahsoka. This was along with his already confirmed appearance on the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series alongside Ewan McGregor in his own triumphant return as the title character. Dawson then shared the headline on Instagram, adding a caption to the post heavily teasing that it was actually true. «Skyguy…They know!!! See you soon, Snips,» she said, referencing the affectionate nicknames the 2 characters gave each other in the animated The Clone Wars series.

The thing is, apparently, the headline was only a rumor. So certain higher-ups at Disney and Lucasfilm weren't exactly thrilled that Dawson had potentially leaked something so huge.
