Hayden Christensen has talked his return as Darth Vader in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The actor hasn't played Anakin Skywalker since 2005's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, but is wearing the black armor once again in the upcoming Disney Plus series,🌃 which stars Ewan McGregor as the titular Jeꦍdi.

"And I was just really excited to get to come in and play Darﷺth Vader at this point in the timeline because itꦅ did feel like a natural continuation of your journey with the character. And that was very meaningful for me."

Vader was absent from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first trailer for the series, besides some ominous breathing at the end, but EW also revealed the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first look at the Sith Lord back in action. Not much can be glean🐼ed from the shadowy picture, but it's clear the once-Jedi is still a force to be reckoned with. 

The show will see Obi-Wan go up against the Inquisitors, a group of Force-sensitives who hunt down the remaining Jedi following Order 66. They're led by the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grand Inquisitoꩲr, who is played👍 by Rupert Friend in the TV show.

Obi-Wan will also be battling Vader himself, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy promising the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"rematch of the century" between the duo.

Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus this May 25. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows headed our way soon.
