Beloved Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen has recently made waves by taking over New York City's iconic Empire State Building in a captivating new video. While Christensen's portrayal of Anakin in the Star Wars franchise has garnered immense popularity, his return to the role has been met with great enthusiasm from fans.
Following his appearances in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Christensen had a hiatus from the franchise but has since reprised his role as Anakin in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka. Anakin Skywalker, one of the most powerful Jedi in the Star Wars universe, continues to be a fan-favorite character, with Christensen's frequent returns adding to the excitement.
The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Star Wars, features Hayden Christensen alongside Darth Vader, symbolically uniting both versions of Anakin Skywalker. In the video, Christensen can be seen smiling in front of a miniature Empire State Building as the iconic Imperial March theme plays in the background.
Christensen's ongoing representation of Anakin Skywalker at various events has kept fans eagerly anticipating his potential return to the Star Wars universe. While his next appearance in the franchise has not been officially confirmed, Christensen's willingness to reprise his role, coupled with the positive reception of his recent returns, suggests that his comeback is imminent.
Speculation points to a likely appearance of Anakin in Ahsoka season 2, currently in development. The character's presence as a Force ghost in the season 1 finale opens up numerous storytelling possibilities, particularly in the context of his relationship with Ahsoka following his fall to the dark side.
As Christensen approaches his 43rd birthday in April, aligning closely with Darth Vader's age at the time of his demise in Return of the Jedi, fans are intrigued by the potential symbolism of his portrayal of Anakin's Force ghost. The thematic resonance of Christensen's age mirroring Vader's adds an intriguing layer to the character's redemption arc.
While Hayden Christensen's return as Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars is not yet confirmed, the signs point towards a highly anticipated comeback in the near future.
