I would have loved to have seen Anakin in ‘The Force Awakens’ – Skatronixxx
In a move that would have proven controversial with Star Wars fans. Prequel hero turned legendary sci-fi villain Darth Vader, was originally set to appear in this years blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Concept artist Ian McCraig revealed in The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens companion book, that Hayden Christensen could have return to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker who eventually became the Sith Lord.
“Anakin’s ghost could come back”, teased McCraig. “If we see Anakin Skywalker, because he does flow back and forth between Darth Vader and Anakin, let’s see him as a character with a dark and light side.”
As it turns out only the charred remains of Darth Vader’s helmet made it into the film after rumours of Christensen return made the rounds back in September.
Fans did however get to see old faces in form of C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels, Chewbacca – Peter Mayhew, and prequel star Ewan McGregor who lent his voice as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Rey’s (Daisy Ridley) Force-Flashback scene.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens has recently broken Jurassic World’s record as the fastest movie to reach $1Billion dollars at 12 days, beating the Dino-franchise by one day. With the film yet to be released in Asia, we will have to see what records the film has in its sights next.
