we already knew that Hayden Christensen returned in ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ to give life to Darth Vaderbut the surprise that the Disney+ series had in store for us is that they have also brought james earl jones to lend his voice to the legendary Star Wars villain in the series starring Ewan McGregor.
The original version of Darth Vader
There were not a few fans who were speculating on that possibility, but it was not until the third episode of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ when we received definitive confirmation of the return of James Earl Jones, the original voice of Vader. Unfortunately, in Spain they will not be able to do the same, since the voice of the character in Spanish was that of Constantine Romerodeceased in 2013.
The truth is that it is still a logical move on the part of Disney, since it makes sense that his voice changes precisely after ceasing to be Anakin Skywalker and becoming Darth Vader. Of course, it is still a pity that this makes Christensen’s expected return into something more anecdotal than many expected.
Now we have to see if ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ has any more surprises in store for us in the three remaining episodes or if you have already spent all the bullets of the returns of old acquaintances. Having seen what I have seen, I would not even be surprised by a cameo from a young version of a character from ‘The Mandalorian’ or that the Ahsoka played by Rosario Dawson also drop by here…
