This previous weekend, droves of Star Wars followers took themselves to theaters to relive the start of Darth Vader with the 20-year anniversary re-release of Revenge of The Sith. (The film stays so beloved that it opened at No. 2 behind Sinners’ fabulous second weekend!) Earlier this month, CinemaBlend really had a fast second with the Anakin Skywalker actor himself, Hayden Christensen, and he had an incredible response to our query in regards to the ending of the well-known villain’s arc in Star Wars.
Within the Prequel Trilogy, followers watch as Anakin and Obi-Wan go from being companions and good associates to grave enemies. The entire story, after all, ends with Obi-Wan taking Anakin’s son, Luke, beneath his wing to be taught the methods of the Pressure earlier than he takes down his father, Darth Vader, and saves the galaxy. Return of the Jedi ends with the pressure ghost of Christensen’s Anakin and Alec Guinness’ Obi-Wan smiling on Luke within the afterlife side-by-side with Yoda.

I believe he was amused by the concept, don’t you? Hayden Christensen chuckled at our query asking the actor what he thinks pressure ghost Anakin and Obi-Wan may speak about earlier than sharing his ideas. He merely advised us he thinks the pair are “simply gonna hug and make up”. It’s a healthful response that speaks to the actor’s hope for the 2 characters to be on the identical staff, and also you like to see it.
Now, the actor didn’t have lots of time as a result of he was taking a couple of questions earlier than heading to the Ahsoka panel the place he reunited with Rosario Dawson, nevertheless it does make one take into consideration what the pair of outdated associates may consider one another when all it stated and performed after their lives led every of them to really feel reasonably betrayed by the opposite. Christensen actually has a constructive outlook on the entire thing.
Because the tragic villain origin story goes for Anakin in Revenge of the Sith, he clashes together with his mentor and good friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, after he will get corrupted by the Darkish Facet. Throughout a memorable duel, Obi-Wan severs one in all Anakin’s arms and each legs, after which leaves him to be burned alive after deeming him too harmful. Anakin finally turns into Darth Vader, whereas Obi-Wan works with Yoda to have Anakin and Padme’s twins protected from hurt.
