Scrapped STAR WARS Panel With Ian McDiarmid & Hayden Christensen Leads To RISE OF SKYWALKER Speculation

In the "Art of" book for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we saw pieces of concept art showing Anakin Skywalker's Force Ghost. A cross between his human and machine selves, it was meant to show that even in death, he was still struggling with his Light and Dark sides. 

Since then, speculation has been running rampant about an appearance from Hayden Christensen in the current trilogy, especially now we know that Ian McDiarmid is returning as The Emperor. 

This weekend, FanX was taking place in Salt Lake, but a last-minute cancellation of a panel featuring Christensen and McDiarmid has led to even more speculation that there are plans in place for both these characters to appear in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It's said that Disney threatened legal action if the panel took place and any spoilers leaked as a result. That's an odd move, right? 

The actors also visited a children's hospital over the weekend, and now fans can't stop talking about the possibility that these two will once again share the screen in the finale of the "Skywalker Saga."

As always, we'll keep you guys updated if we learn more.
