Hayden Christensen is back in the galaxy far, far away for Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Regardless, Hayden Christensen is back in the galaxy far, far away with the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Hayden Christensen seems to think this is par for the course, and doesn’t agree with the criticism that has come George Lucas’ way since the prequels hit theaters in the early 2000’s. Indeed, the prequels have been getting way more love lately, especially in the wake of the sequel trilogy. While Hayden Christensen has been the butt of countless Star Wars jokes over the last two decades, it’s sweet to hear how much the franchise and his relationship with George Lucas continue to be. One big example is Anakin’s lines about hating sand in Attack of the Clones, which were uttered by Hayden Christensen himself. Hayden Christensen made his Star Wars debut back in 2002’s Attack of The Clones, playing Anakin Skywalker. Fans can’t wait to see what he’ll bring to Darth Vader in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show, and the 41 year-old actor has been reminiscing about the prequels while promoting the Disney+ series. There are popular movie franchises, and then there’s Star Wars. Generations of moviegoers were brought up on the galaxy far, far away, and it remains a vital part of the pop culture landscape.

After gaining immense popularity in the industry for his entertaining stories, Glass finds himself under speculation without evidence to back up his work. Acclaimed author Stephen King even referred to it as one of his top ten movies of the year, per EW, specifically remarking that the armored car chase was the best heist action sequence of 2010. This devastating movie is probably the most sobering on this list, and Christensen is featured in a highly talented ensemble cast. He’s proven his range, showed the world his ability to voice act ,and received critical acclaim for some of his work.

He mentioned struggling with the rigidity, which isn’t too unlike how Darth Vader would probably feel during his early days with the mask and armor. The suit is an iconic part of the character, but it’s a newer aspect for Christensen. While describing his experience with the Darth Vader get-up this time around to EW, he compared it to Revenge of the Sith. And interestingly, his comfortability is somewhat parallel to his character. It was in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith after Anakin Skywalker fully descended into darkness and barely survived a battle with his former best friend and mentor.
