As Hayden Christensen himself has revealed, the hunt for Jedi that Darth Vader is going to carry out in Obi-Wan Kenobi it’s going to be very personal. In an interview with William Mullally in cutawaythe actor discovered that the sith lord was very different from what we saw at the end of Revenge of the Sith. But also different from what we ended up seeing in the original Star Wars trilogy created by george lucas. Hayden Christensen has analyzed the time gap between the two trilogies. A gap that has not been explored in depth in the audiovisual. That has allowed his interpretation to be, at least, interesting. He has said that Darth Vader is coming to terms with his past and that, in large part, that is thanks to his hunt for Jedi.
This is how the actor analyzed it: «The Obi-Wan Kenobi series takes place in a temporal context that has not yet really been explored. I think the character of Darth Vader is at a very interesting point in his life. At least, in terms of what happened before and where we left off in Episode III. He is trying to come to terms with his past and to hunt down the Jedi. Obviously, that’s his job. It is an order from Emperor Palpatine. But, at the same time, it is much more than that. For him, this has become personal. the series of Obi-Wan Kenobi with Darth Vader opens in two weeks on Disney+.
