Darth Vader is once again rumored to be returning for Star Wars, with this time it being said Hayden Christensen may play the role in Episode VIII.
There has been no official confirmation that Darth Vader will be returning in “Star Wars: Episode 8” or about Christensen being cast in the movie. Although we barely know anything about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the latest “rumor” is for Episode VIII. The line includes five Star Wars characters (Darth Vader, C3PO, R2D2, Chewbacca, and Boba Fett), each representing what we can only assume are their favorite flavor of creamer (espresso chocolate, hazelnut, French vanilla, spiced latte, and Italian sweet cream, respectively), all delivered in containers that look like the characters.
One of the most intriguing elements of The Force Awakens is the new villain Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver. He added that hopefully, his statement cleared up the rumours about him being cast in the J.J. Abrams movie.
There’s something you need to know about Darth Vader before we go any further – in case you forgot, Vader was born as Anakin Skywalker.
