Star Wars: 10 Classic Characters Returning To TV
9. Anakin Skywalker
Despite the fact his performance in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith was slated by many, fans have developed a fondness of actor Hayden Christensen in recent years, and he was welcomed back with open arms during 2019's Star Wars Celebration.
Now, it's said that the actor will have a key role to play in the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series coming to Disney+.
It's said that he will be heavily featured in flashbacks to the events of The Clone Wars, with Christensen donning the armour his animated counterpart did in that beloved series. Basically, it means fans can look forward to a live-action adaptation of the long-running series, and if you've watched so much as a single episode of that, you'll be excited.
Further developing the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan is smart, though whatever this glimpse into their past touches on is bound to have ramifications for whatever the Jedi Master is going through while stuck on Tatooine. That's undeniably intriguing, and it's exciting to think about what new sides of this friendship the show could touch on.
