Hayden Christensen Says There’s Still “Good, Meaty Stuff” to Explore in Darth Vader’s STAR WARS Story

Anakin Skywalker himself is ready to continue explore more of the story of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Hayden Christensen, who brought the Jedi-turned-Sith to life in the Star Wars prequels, has been brought back to the franchise, appearing in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka.

With Ahsoka Season 2 on the horizon, Christensen is already thinking about what other corners of the galaxy he’d like to explore.

Speaking at Fan Expo Boston (via Collider), Christensen shared his personal Star Wars wish list.

“I'd love to get to do some more Clone Wars-era Anakin, too. I think there are some fun stories there to tell, and if it meant I got to swing a lightsaber with Ewan [McGregor] again, that would be amazing.”

But his ambitions don’t stop there as Christensen made it clear that he’s itching to dive deeper into Anakin’s darker chapter.

“I'd love to get to do some more stuff in the Darth Vader timeline… I think there's some good, meaty stuff there to explore still.

“If the powers that be decided a Vader spin-off is something they want to see, I'd be there in a heartbeat. 100%. I would love to. It would be amazing to keep exploring this character in both eras.”

He’s even game to return as Anakin’s Force ghost, adding, “All of it would be good fun for me.”

The idea of a full-on Darth Vader series with Christensen at the helm feels like a no-brainer. Yes, we’ve seen plenty of Anakin and Vader across films, animation, and live-action shows, but there’s still a ton of untold stories about Vader’s reign.

Ahsoka Season 2 is expected to arrive next year, while the next big-screen Star Wars adventure, The Mandalorian & Grogu, hits theaters in May. But if Lucasfilm ever gives the greenlight to Christensen’s dream project, I’ll show up to watch it!
