STAR WARS MOVIES ROGUE ONE CAST SERIES

Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere on May 25, while Ahsoka doesnвЂ™t have a release date set yet. Either way, the future is bright for fans of ChristensenвЂ™s Star Wars character, who was previously played by Jake Lloyd in The Phantom Menace and was voiced by Matt Lanter in The Clone Wars animated series. The film stars Felicity Jones, Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, and Forest Whitaker. In this instance though, itвЂ™s unclear if weвЂ™ll be seeing Anakin Skywalker through flashbacks to the Clone Wars, or if heвЂ™ll appear in Force Ghost form since this show is set half a decade after Return of the Jedi. The first Star Wars: Rogue One cast photo was released at D23.

Hayden Christensen is also on deck for the Ahsoka series starring Rosario Dawson. Along with this show seeing Ewan McGregorвЂ™s Obi-Wan and ChristensenвЂ™s Darth Vader cross paths for the first time since their epic duel on Mustafar, thereвЂ™s also a chance we could get Clone Wars-era flashbacks of the two, though thatвЂ™s by no means official. First, heвЂ™ll appear in Disney+вЂ™s Obi-Wan Kenobi series, which is set 10 years after the events of Revenge of the Sith. So even if the crew had wanted to bring Christensen back that might have been difficult to make happen given how last minute this all came together.ДЇortunately for Hayden Christensen, after more than a decade and a half away from the Star Wars universe, heвЂ™s reprising Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader on two fronts. Keep in mind that along with Christensen having mostly scaled back on acting following his time in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, the big Darth Vader sequence was the last thing shot during Rogue OneвЂ™s reshoots period it was even kept secret from the main cast. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy explained that Hayden Christensen wasnвЂ™t considered for Rogue One because 'that was just such a specific action sequence,вЂќ and it sounds like heвЂ™s understanding about this. Entertainment Weekly has released new details on the cast of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, out this December.Among the round-up are the names and bios of several characters, including confirmation. HereвЂ™s what Christensen had to say about that latter moment to EW:

Rather than approach Hayden Christensen to suit back up as Darth Vader for Rogue One, like he did at the end of Revenge of the Sith, the Star Wars movieвЂ™s team instead had Spencer Wilding physically play Vader for the Krennic meeting, and Daniel Naprous donned the black armor for when the time came for the Sith Lord to cut down some Rebel scum.

More than half a decade later, Hayden Christensen, who brought Anakin Skywalker to life in two of the Star Wars movies, has broken his silence on VaderвЂ™s brutal Rogue One scene. Among them was Darth Vader, who was first seen berating Ben MendelsohnвЂ™s Orson Krennic on Mustafar, and later memorably massacred a group of Rebel troops in an effort to seize back the stolen Death Star plans.
