Here's How Hayden Christensen's 'Anakin Skywalker' Was Going To Cameo In STAR WARS: TFA
While it appears as if the idea was scrapped fairly early on, some pages from the "Art Of" book for Star Wars: The Force Awakens have revealed how exactly Hayden Christensen's rumoured cameo as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader would have played out. Will we see this in Episode VIII?
While his presence may have been felt in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there was no physical appearance from Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader in the movie. However, some new concept art has revealed that the idea to include the iconic villain was indeed brought up at one point, and details on that can be seen in the images below which come our way courtesy of Making Star Wars. Love or hate Christensen's take on Anakin Skywalker, there's no denying that it would be pretty fascinating to see him interacting with Luke, especially if his Force Ghost were to constantly shift from that form to Vader's. After all, his decision to kill the Emperor didn't exactly wipe away his past misdeeds or the the fact that he had committed himself to the Dark Side, so having him suddenly redeemed and back to his old self almost feels like a cop out. Regardless, with rumours pointing to the actor making an appearance in Rian Johnson's Star Wars Episode VIII, we may now have an idea about how the whole thing will play out! What do you guys think about this?
