Of all the news that Lucasfilm brought out last Wednesday, only the first appearance of Darth Vaderagain interpreted by Hayden Christensen. In the first advance, his breathing was heard, that forced and mechanical noise so characteristic that it was the first concrete indication of his return.

It should be noted that the actor participated in two films of the saga: Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith as the young padawan Anakin Skywalker, and during the aforementioned films the spectators accompanied his way to the dark side. He finally became the villain at the end of the Episode III. It took 17 years for him to return to the franchise and he will do so in the next series about Obi-Wan Kenobi.

“His shadow is cast over much of what we do,” said the series’ writer. Joby Harold and added: “The degree of its proximity to that shadow is something we will discover. But he is a huge emotional part of the show for Obi-Wan, and possibly beyond that as well.” Will we have a solo title of the character?

After the first image that confirms his return, we must remember that the last appearance of Darth Vader as such it was in the movies, in a short fragment of the spin-off rogue one in which he showed all his power. It is hoped that this new interpretation of Darth Vader, now with Christensen finally down the suit, as the actor described it: “We are going to see a very powerful Vader.”

Darth Vader’s last appearance was in the spin-off movie, “Rogue One.” He will now return for the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series. (Lucas film)
