Darth's Dark Desires: Hayden's Passion Play
Remember when heartthrob Hayden Christensen donned that iconic black cape and menacing helmet, sending shockwaves through the Star Wars universe? Well, word on the starship is, he's not quite done! As reported by MovieWeb back in 2022, Christensen showed more than just a passing interest in revisiting the dark corridors of Darth Vader in a spinoff series.
"Yeah you know, I mean absolutely. I think this is a character that sort of resonates in our culture in a very kind of profound way, and there's certainly more there to explore. Like you said there are so many stories that have been told in these other mediums and I would love to get to continue my journey with him." – Hayden Christensen.

There's a whole universe of tales to be told about the iconic Sith Lord. With numerous comics and animated shows like Star Wars Rebels, featuring exhilarating scenes, think about the reunion between Vader and Ahsoka Tano! Just the thought sends us into hyperdrive!
Return to Tatooine: Kenobi’s Back!
Our intergalactic calendar was marked for the Obi-Wan Kenobi release on Disney+ back on May 27, 2022. With Ewan McGregor returning as the legendary Jedi alongside Christensen's Vader, the stage was set for the “rematch of the century.” 10 years post-Episode III and almost a decade pre-Episode IV, Kenobi was thrown into the protective guardian role, ensuring young Luke Skywalker was out of the Sith's reach. Oh, and the cherry on top? Rupert Friend's Grand Inquisitor, hot on Kenobi's trail.
