Hayden Christensen REALLY Loved Getting to Burn Obi-Wan Kenobi Back: "I Thought It Was Perfect" 

The challenge with that, is that you risk humanizing Vader too much which may take away some of the terror behind his character.

Just as a Luke Skywalker series is unnecessary, so is a Vader series. I agree with the other comments here and will add that there is a risk of making Vader's brutality and terrifying actions seem "not so bad" or even acceptable in certain cases which would not be good. I mean, we already have fans applauding when they see him, including showing happiness and amazement when he is brutal. A series would only add to such behavior. There is a vast difference between admiring the acting ability of someone playing a villain, the writing for the character, seeing him do things in another media and loving the violent things he does. One is appropriate, the other is not.

Just adapt Charles Soules run from the comics into a live action it’s a perfect story

Yep, I definitely want to see a Vader show with Hayden. See the early years, how he struggled with his new reality, the loss of Padme, his crippled body, the abuse of Palpatine and his contempt for him, his burning obsession with Obi-Wan, his rutheless and brutal hunt for the last Jedis, see the internal conflict, and just see how the senate and the politics work in this new Empire.

That is a great point. He is trying not to make the same mistake he made with Anakin. Anakin really needed a parental figure and he went to the only one who gave him one - that was unfortunately Palpatine. Obi Wan's attachment rule often prevented him to be someone Anakin needed.

@@brucesnow7125 What is tragic is that Vader would have vastly preferred this evolved version of Obi-Wan over Sidious by the time of this season of Kenobi. Sidious treated Vader like a slave, far worse than any treatment he ever received from Watto.

Obi Wan does not have strong attachments with all the Skywalker Family. If he did he would have not left Luke alone to rescue Leia. But as a Jedi, he knew to fulfill his mission. The Jedi rule of no attachments did not forbid what Obi Wan is how doing towards Leia. What "no attachments" meant was that you did not allow the love you feel for others to keep you from fulfilling a task or mission and you did not forbid a loved one from doing the same. Yes, they took it too far many times and did not clearly explain what it meant such as when Yoda told Anakin "miss them do not" and "mourn them do not". Anakin wrongly understood that to mean he was to have virtually no feeling or concern for his mother or his wife. From Yoda's comments to Qui Gon concerning his training Anakin, it is evident that Qui Gon had disobeyed him and the Jedi Council many times but always with respect and for the right reasons. Anakin allowed emotions of disdain, disrespect and power to cloud his mind, unlike Luke who was really following Qui Gon's ways, but did not know it. And many fans want to keep blaming the Jedi ways for Anakin keeping his marriage a secret but they forget that Padme also wanted it kept secret even though Anakin was ready to reveal it.

@@TheRivrPrncessObi-Wan couldn't have brought Luke along offworld with him while rescuing Leia as he would have endangered both twins. He had to leave Luke on Tatooine with the Lars. Doing so didn't mean he didn't care about Luke. Obi-Wan had/has strong attachments despite his protestations. Remember his anguished "I loved you!" to Anakin on Mustafar and the subsequent burial of the lightsabers (Obi-Wan died inside when he thought Anakin had died). Furthermore, Deborah Chow has described the Kenobi series as an Obi-Wan/Anakin love story, so we're supposed to see Obi-Wan mature by coming to terms with the intrinsic human need for emotional intimacy. The old Jedi Order was incredibly dysfunctional in this regard.

@@TheRivrPrncess No, he trusted them because he was attached to them. He showcases the ability to let go, and trust the force. An unselfish love, which Anakin couldn't understand.

Hayden and Ewan was literally the only 2 things that were worth watching in the entire series. I did not care about any other character nor their stories. Literally. Yet every scene where both were present was just carried the whole thing.

LITERALLY!!

He literally said, don't want to spoil anything, so we might get more Padme, threw Vader!!!!!!

@@annebailor3856 OMG LITERALLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!!!

There must be deleted scenes 😭😭

@@kellygc81 right because we got no padme and Anakin scenes at ALL😖😖😖. But it’s totally fine because the show was fucking amazing😩.

Hayden deserves it but to be fair, this is kenobi’s story, not darth vaders. Maybe we’ll get a darth vader mini series

Yes! He is literally the main character

I always thought he played Anakin well, despite the criticism he received. It's really good to see that people have finally come around and that he has this chance to jump back into the part.

I am so excited also to have him back too! I’ve been a big Anakin fan since I first saw TPM when I was eight, ironically one year younger than Anakin was in the film. Maybe that’s why I and other really can relate? But yeah excited to see Hayden back!

He’s a nice guy but not that of good actor. However he was serviceable in the 2D Clone Wars, and in the new Kenobi show. He was tolerable in ROTS but AOTC was his worst performance.

​@@MovieEnforcera yr late but this is one of worst takes ive read

He slipped up lol

I mean that have confirmed it like a thousand times vader killed anakin because vader saw anakin as weak and couldn't save the ones he loved. That's his whole story 😂

She is expensive

That would only work in a Darth Vader series because her character is more important to Anakin. If anyone needed to be in the show more it's Hayden he stole the show every time he was on screen.

We won’t recover if we see her back in a scene with Hayden

I hope so too, glad she asked that question!!! Want more Padme mentions threw Vader!!!

Bro idk if I'm tripping but he's look older in a past few interviews and this one is prob a most recent. One and he looks fucking younger!!!!

Solid

no

there's going to be an Ahsoka series next year and Hayden's in it, so that will probably be explored there! it might have also been touched on in the later seasons of Clone Wars and Rebels, but i haven't gotten that far yet.

my guess is because of filming for Thor and she isn't in any of the new Star Wars stuff, but maybe she also had something else going on that day; would definitely love to see her return!

But the actress who plays Leia is 10 years old!

The voice of Anakin from the Clone Wars was Matt Lanter and it was not Hayden Christensen playing Darth Vader from Rogue One.

@@commenterimjustacommenter I think he voiced him in the 2D Clone Wars that ran from 2002 - 2005.

@@MovieEnforcer I am pretty sure that was someone named Mat Lukas (and his name was specifically spelled like that).

Incorrect

Hayden was out of the spotlight for a long time because of the hate he got from the prequels, it definitely had an impact on him. if you watch interviews and bts from his first round of acting in the star wars universe, you see much more of his personality

​@@FlaxxxenThis is so much funnier now

the hate is strong with this one

Hayden is absolutely amazing
