Hayden Christensen says returning as Darth Vader was ‘quite a surprise,’ teases ‘strong ending’ to ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’

“I really thought that was kind of the end of my journey,” Christensen told the Daily News. “I had an amazing experience working on the prequels and was so fortunate to get to be a part of those films, but when we finished, I thought that was it, so coming back was quite a surprise.”
