James Earl Jones, Hayden Christensen, and Dmitrious Bistrevsky in Part VI (2022)

Years after the Star Wars prequel films, Hayden Christensen has returned to that galaxy far, far away as Darth Vader. He discusses how he makes this iconic character his own, what it's like to go for a dip in the healing waters of a bacta tank, his unchanging opinion of sand, and if Jar Jar Binks would still be friends with Vader.

Trivia
At the beginning of the episode, Vader's Star Destroyer is chasing the ship where Obi-Wan and the refugees escape Jabiim, just like the beginning of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) where it is chasing the Tantive IV where Leia and the Rebels are carrying the stolen blueprints of the Death Star. Also the music that plays during the scene is very similar to the John Williams track Hyperspace, which played in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) during the Millennium Falcon's escape from pursuing Imperial ships after departing Cloud City.

Goofs
Vader orders the Star Destroyer to change course to pursue Obi-Wan in the drop ship, then says he will take his personal ship down to the planet and face Kenobi himself. If he had a personal ship, he could have deployed that earlier and kept the Star Destroyer pursuing the escaping Rebels. There would have been no need to abandon the pursuit of the Rebels.

Came to soon.

This episode reached its climax way to early, then hung around and tidied up after itself until the uncredited cameo.

The show on the whole hasn't been perfect by any stretch but the images of Darth/Anakin after the event (you know the one) is one of the greatest images in Star Wars ever, that moment was an absolute knockout and worth the journey.

Just a shame there was so much redemption to ponder after all the excitement.
