New Star Wars series debuts May 27 on Disney+
The actor Hayden Christensen revealed, in an interview with JOE.ie, what will be the role of the villain Darth Vader in “Obi-Wan Kenobi”, a new series in the “Star Wars” universe.
“This is an important moment in Vader’s life. He’s been trapped in this armor for ten years, in this new life, and it’s affected him immensely. It’s a very interesting character exploration. I don’t want to give anything away, but there’s an identity conflict within Vader, and that’s been at the heart of the character forever.“, commented.
Christensen added that “hunting down the Jedi and finding Obi-Wan Kenobi is a very personal mission” to Vader. “I’m excited for people to see this“, he added.
