Hayden Christensen has opened up about his return as Darth Vader in Star Wars.
Christensen played nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker in 2002's Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and 2005's Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
Anakin became Darth Vader at the end of the prequel films and has now said it's an "honour" to be back in the famous black suit.
The actor, 40, will appear in the miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi alongside Ewan McGregor, 51, as Obi-Wan - which is due to be released on Disney+ later this year.
And in a new interview he said it is a "great honour" to wear the iconic suit again.
Hayden said didn't want to go into "too much detail" during an interview with Entertainment Weekly but said that putting the infamous costume back on was "amazing."
He said: "It was mostly a lot of excitement because I had spent enough time with this character and felt like I knew him, and coming back to it felt very natural in a lot of ways."

The actor said it was particularly exciting to get to play Darth Vader at a later point in the timeline as it felt like a "natural continuation" of his journey with the character.
He further commented that the experience was "very surreal," with him stating that he is "very grateful" to get to return to the franchise after such a lengthy break from it.
The upcoming miniseries - directed by Deborah Chow - has been described as a "special event series" for streaming platform Disney+ ahead of its release later this summer.
A synopsis teases: "[It] begins 10 years after the dramatic events of 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' where [Obi-Wan] faced his greatest defeat, the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker turned evil Sith Lord Darth Vader."
Obi-Wan Kenobi is due to be released on Disney+ on May 25.
