The Skywalker Saga may have concluded on the big screen but it seems as though it is not concluded on the small screen. There are current reports that state that Hayden Christensen will be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Kenobi series coming to Disney+ in a few years.
According to LRM Online,
“producers are currently in talks with Hayden Christensen to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series! How big of the role is still being debated, so let the theories begin.”
The potential return of the man who becomes Darth Vader is major news for the upcoming Disney+ series as it could confirm the time frame of when the series will take place in the Star Wars timeline as it was already reported that the series will fall between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope.
