Darth Vader is among the most storied characters in cinematic history. Even those who have never seen a Star Wars movie know who the Dark Lord of the Sith is.
Played by the late David Prowse and voiced by James Earl Jones in the original trilogy, the role was later taken over by Hayden Christensen in the prequel trilogy.
Now, Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader) is set to return alongside Scottish actor Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+.
In addition to stars McGregor and Christensen, Bonnie Piesse and Joel Edgerton are set to reprise their roles as Luke’s Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen Lars, while newcomers like Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Sung Kang will join the Star Wars franchise for the first time.
Now, a new report has potentially spoiled details about a post credits scene that Star Wars fans can expect to see when the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi drop on May 27, 2022.
Kenobi begins to rediscover himself and his powers in Chapter Two, let’s just say there is clearly a disturbance in the Force. After Kenobi and ten-year-old Princess Leia are reunited, this triggers our first post-credits scene.
The article also notes that we will then “see some murky water [in a bacta tank] and then the ugly eye of Anakin Skywalker opens into frame” effectively introducing the “face” of Christensen’s Darth Vader out of his iconic mask for the first time since Mustafar.
Showing Christensen’s face as the Sith Lord, not Skywalker, would be a game-changer for Star Wars fans as Vader’s story continues to be told.
Although the existence of this seemingly spoiled scene has not been confirmed by Lucasfilm, it would not be the first time the Star Wars universe has used a post credits scene in the recent past.
