Speaking of things that could happen in these new films to make you cry, there's a rumour that Hayden Christensen will be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker in Episode VIII. Last seen in Revenge Of The Sith, making the transition into Darth Vader, and added into the Special Editions as a Force Ghost, his return is one that exactly no one is asking for. The rumours stated that he was to start training for the role with the Star Wars team pretty soon, prior to filming scenes for Episode VIII, which could either take the form of another Force Ghost, or as Anakin in a flashback. Darth Vader is the most iconic movie villain of all time, so it's understandable that they want to keep his presence in the minds of fans throughout the new films, and introduce him to new audiences (Vader is also rumoured to be in Rogue One). Christensen, though, is not the way to do that, and hopefully this rumour isn't true. The film's out in May though, so at least it can't ruin Christmas. Do you believe any of these rumours?

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
