Hayden Christensen on Obi-Wan Kenobi, Returning to Star Wars, and His Darth Vader Voice
352Obi-Wan Kenobi, which aired its finale on Disney+ this week, serves as a live-action bridge between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, in which the titular Jedi (played by Ewan McGregor, in his long-awaited return to the role) has adopted a life of hermitage on the remote desert planet of Tatooine, where he keeps a watchful eye over the young Luke Skywalker (Grant Feely). When the young Princess of Alderaan Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) is kidnapped, Obi-Wan reluctantly leaves the safety of his anonymity to rescue the girl before the Empire can get its hands on her — or worse, before Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) can discover she exists.
Ahead of the season finale premiere, Collider had the chance to chat with Christensen about returning to the Star Wars universe — this time as Vader — for the course of Kenobi's six episodes. Over the course of the interview, which you can either watch above or read below, Christensen spoke about returning to the Star Wars universe, whether he was able to work on more of his own voice for Darth Vader (with a nod to the iconic James Earl Jones in the role), how the training process for this series differed from his previous time working on stunts for Revenge of the Sith, the extensive prosthetic process for transforming into Vader, and more.
