EW continues their exclusive coverage of the Disney+ event series Obi-Wan Kenobi, with the first image of Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader.
Much like McGregor, it was a 17-year journey to get Christensen back in black to play one of the most iconic figures in the history of pop culture — a journey that is chronicled in EW’s cover story on the new Disney+ series.
In our exclusive image above, we see Vader appearing to emerge from his meditation chamber, which begs the question: Since the meditation chamber allows the Sith Lord to remove his helmet (as seen in The Empire Strikes Back when poor Admiral Piett briefly admires the back of Vader’s scarred head before the helmet is lowered over it), might this mean we will catch a glimpse of Vader sans mask in Obi-Wan Kenobi?
“I wish I could tell you,” Christensen tells EW with a coy smile on his face. “I’m sworn to secrecy.”
Bring it on!!
