Hayden Christensen paljasti, millaista oli käyttää Darth Vaderin asua

Hayden Christensen esitti Anakin Skywalkeria eli siis Darth Vaderia vuonna 2022, ja sitä ennen elokuvissa Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones ja Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Millaista oli käyttää Darth Vaderin asua? Sitä ei edes pitänyt tapahtua, mutta Christensen suostutteli George Lucasin päästämään pukeutumisen tapahtumaan.

Kokemus oli odotetusti voimakas ja merkittävä.

"I found out that they were not planning having me be in the Darth Vader suit, and I was a little bummed about that. So I spoke to George Lucas and I asked him, and he was kind enough to oblige. I think there's something nice about knowing that it's the actor in the costume as well, but it was really just for my benefit. It was a challenging suit to move around, and I told George, I was like, "Look, I don't know that I can move as well as I thought I'd be able to." And he was like, "It's okay, it's supposed to be your first time in the suit, so if it's a little rigid and awkward, he was like, that's a good thing, actually."

When the helmet goes on, and you're just totally enclosed in this costume, it was a remarkable experience, just because you could see people's reaction to seeing Vader for the first time. People who were usually very assertive became a little more timid, and they'd kind of like not wanna make eye contact with you. I had good fun with that."
