Disney and Lucasfilm’s plans for the future of the Star Wars<\/em><\/a><\/strong> franchise include a series centered on Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi. Now, a new rumor suggests Hayden Christensen may be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker in the forthcoming Disney+ series.<\/p>\n

Canadian actor Hayden Christensen\u00a0portrayed young Anakin Skywalker in the final two chapters of George Lucas’ Star Wars<\/em> prequel trilogy, Attack of the Clones<\/em> and Revenge of Sith<\/em>,\u00a0but his performance\u00a0as the fallen Jedi was not well-received<\/a> by fans of the franchise. Since then,\u00a0Christensen has gravitated towards smaller or lesser-known projects\u00a0and only returned to the\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> franchise\u00a0for a vocal cameo appearance in The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>.<\/p>\n

YouTube channel\u00a0Kessel Run Transmissions claims its source has told it that Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker\u00a0will appear in the Obi-Wan Kenobi\u00a0show through a series of flashbacks depicting key moments in the Clone Wars<\/a>. The channel also alleges that\u00a0Anakin will don the “clone armour” worn by the character\u00a0 in the animated Clone Wars<\/em> series and that Darth Vader, the villain Skywalker eventually becomes, will also appear in the Disney+ show. Additional characters from the Clone Wars era reportedly returning include Commander Cody and the 212th<\/sup>\u00a0Attack Battalion, though Disney has not confirmed these rumors.<\/p>\n

The untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi series was\u00a0reportedly put on hold back in January due to script issues before\u00a0John Wick: Chapter 3 \u2013 Parabellum<\/em>\u00a0writer Joby Harold<\/a>\u00a0was brought on board to pen the project in April 2020. While production was originally scheduled to begin in 2020, the delays prompted Disney and Lucasfilm to push back the start date to January 2021.\u00a0Additional projects being developed for Disney+ by Lucasfilm\u00a0include a Rogue One<\/em> prequel centered on Cassian Andor, a female-centric show from\u00a0Russian Doll<\/em>\u00a0creator\u00a0Leslye Headland, and animated series titled\u00a0The Bad Batch<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Hayden\u00a0Christensen’s return to the Star Wars<\/em> franchise may be a surprise considering the poor response to the character in the mid-2000s, feelings towards his performance and the prequel trilogy have grown more positive among a segment of the fan base. After The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> concluded the sequel trilogy on what is widely perceived to be a negative note<\/a>, credit has often been given the prequel trilogy for at least trying to tell a different story as opposed to rehashing elements from the original trilogy, a common criticism directed towards The Force Awakens<\/em> and\u00a0The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, even if attitudes towards\u00a0Christensen’s performance haven’t changed, a return to the role of Anakin Skywalker\u00a0might provide the actor with the opportunity to bow out of the franchise on a high note. After all, the Clone Wars<\/em> series has arguably proven that the character can earn a fanbase if the writing strong enough.<\/p>\n

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series does not have an announced release date yet.<\/p>\n
