![]() ![]() In theory, Anakin Skywalker found redemption in the end and his Force Ghost should now be him as Anakin like we saw in Return of the Jedi. Or maybe he will find a Sith Holocron on Mustafar. If Kylo Ren is tracking down Sith artifacts or relics of Darth Vader, maybe one of them could be imprinted with Vader’s spirit in some way, producing a vision of the Sith Lord. The easiest way would be via a flashback or vision. The actor has said in the past that he’d return to the franchise if asked, so that’s one reason to think Anakin showing up is possible.ĭarth Vader proper appearing in this film is a little trickier, but still doable. She had a vision when she touched the lightsaber the first time, so it could totally happen again, this time with a Hayden Christensen appearance. It wouldn’t be too out there for Anakin to appear to Rey when she is repairing his lightsaber either. Or, if Rey is seeking guidance from the Jedi Masters that came before her, she could confer with Luke, Obi-Wan and Anakin ‘We do not grant you the rank of Master’ Skywalker. He could appear at the end of the film Return of the Jedi style alongside Yoda, Luke and perhaps Obi-Wan Kenobi. The easiest way that Anakin could show up as a Force Ghost would be a simple cameo. ![]() It seems highly unlikely that Darth Vader or Anakin would be fully resurrected in this final film, and the Force Ghost route provides plenty of flexibility for him to show up in a way that would fit the story. The majority of the rumors point towards Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker showing up as a Force Ghost and that seems the most plausible way this could happen that wouldn’t break mythology or retcon things. Abrams is a fan and if he really is trying to right the ship with this film, the goodwill a Darth Vader or Anakin appearance would bring definitely wouldn’t hurt. This rumor also does sound a bit like wishful thinking from fans. Neither Disney nor Lucasfilm has indicated that Hayden Christensen will be returning to the franchise for Episode IX but it could just be another surprise like Yoda in The Last Jedi. Abrams and company may be looking to their original ideas for this trilogy for inspiration for Star Wars: Episode IX.Īs to whether or not this rumor will actually pan out, it’s hard to say. He shut down fans that thought that this was a reference to the Anakin concept art, but still, it is worth noting that J.J. Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm recently hinted that we could find clues about Episode IX in that early concept art from The Force Awakens. ![]() Abrams had bigger plans for Anakin in the sequel trilogy considering that based on some concept art, the character almost appeared in The Force Awakens as a Force Ghost amalgamation of Anakin and Vader similar to what was described in one of the aforementioned rumors. Abrams returning for Episode IX, it seems possible that he might want to pick back up with that storyline to close out Kylo Ren’s arc. That thread was far less prevalent in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with Kylo Ren instead espousing his desire to let the past die. He practically worshipped him and kept his broken helmet as a totem. In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we saw that Ben Solo looked up to his grandfather, idolized him and sought to continue his work as Darth Vader. The repercussions of Darth Vader’s existence and actions have been a small but not insignificant part of the sequel trilogy. ![]()
