One eagle-eyed Reddit user has just uncovered a Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith "character" you never knew existed.

This year marks 25-years (!) since the first chapter of the prequel trilogy arrived in theatres.

And while even the most passionate Star Wars lover may think they've discovered every glorious detail there is to be found in George Lucas' Episodes I-III, a user on the r/StarWars Discord server just came across one more previously hidden prequel moment that is as fascinating as it is slightly unsettling - a detail which would later be posted by user itsjustm0nty.

If you slam your pause button during Episode III - Revenge of the Sith at precisely 1:59:02 (if you're watching on Disney+), you'll be able to spot what actually looks like another person creepily stood over Hayden Christensen's shoulder during Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi's epic Mustafar duel.

Rather than this being a secret Force Ghost trying to keep Skywalker from wandering over to the dark side or an evil spirit telling him to "do it!", though, it appears this was most likely just a member of the stunt crew positioned behind Christensen to catch him if this particular stunt went wrong during the take.

And in the process of bringing this fiery, acrobatic moment shot in front of a blue-screen to life, Lucas and co. seem to have simply unintentionally captured an additional face just behind 'The Chosen One'.

So, there you have it. Even after all these years, this dedicated galaxy of Star Wars fans are still uncovering previously unknown details about the iconic Skywalker Saga.
