Hayden Christensen Rumored For Darth Vader

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” hits theatre screens December 18, 2015 in the United States. For instance: Do you like to eat soup and/or SpaghettiOs out of a can, but find the experience not sadly infantilizing enough for your tastes?

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.

John Boyega (Finn) admitted he literally cried the first time that he read the script for Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens. Sure, this information provides some details but this quote, provided the gut-punch, “A team in the United Kingdom are soon heading to the U.S.to begin training Hayden Christensen for a Star Wars: Episode VIII appearance of some sort”.

There are a few things wrong with this right off the bat.

Of course, alongside handing responsibility for the first new film over to J.J Abrams, Disney also has control over Star Wars’ hand in the games scene – a burden that’s arguably even harder than its run at the cinema, given numerous series’ high points during the last couple of decades have been not at the movies, but rather on games consoles.

A Vader appearance in Rogue One is a no-brainer. Earlier in the year, there were murmurs that some Darth Vader concept art had been spotted in the wild, which was said to be for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. “This is one battle I want the dark side to win”.

According to MakingStar Wars, there are not multiple Darth Vader suits.

Choose between Darth Vader, Boba Fett, or Stormtrooper. From the looks of it and based on the Sith Acolytes of “Star Wars: Aftermath“, Vader looms large in the post- Episode VI world and could still hold a major place in the sequel trilogy. You will see the fallen Star Destroyer, which caught everyones eye in the second The Force Awakens trailer. It’s strictly a rumour for now, but how would you feel about Christensen returning to Star Wars as Darth Vader?
