AHSOKA: Darth Vader Is Reportedly Set To Return In The Disney+ Series...With A New Look! - Possible SPOILERS

Making Star Wars is reporting that Darth Vader is set to appear in Ahsoka. Reliable sources have already revealed that Hayden Christensen will be part of the show, but seeing as he's not necessarily needed for Vader, common sense says we'll see Anakin Skywalker in and out of the iconic suit. 

According to the site, Tom O'Connel is currently being fitted for a new Vader suit that will see him don that for the entirety of the Disney+ series.

Interestingly, it's noted that this suit is different to the one we saw in Obi-Wan Kenobi earlier this year. The site goes on to add that, "they made some changes to reflect the time frame in which the sequence takes place," so we're definitely intrigued by what that means. 

They go on to speculate that there's a chance we'll see the duel between Ahsoka and Vader from Star Wars Rebels in live-action. Remember, that also ended with the Sith Lord's helmet being broken open, so that could explain Christensen's presence. If we had to hazard a guess, the actor will also make an appearance as a Force Ghost, guiding his former Apprentice during this adventure.

Either way, more Vader definitely isn't a bad thing after Obi-Wan Kenobi and we could spend hundreds of words speculating about his role here (what if she shares the screen with Grand Admiral Thrawn in flashbacks?). For now, we'll just have to wait and see, though it's possible Lucasfilm will share some new details during September's Disney+ Day.

Christensen has been embraced by fans since returning to this Galaxy Far, Far Away, so we remain hopeful that he'll continue making his presence felt on the big and small screen - as Vader and Anakin - for a long time to come. 

Ahsoka is set to be released on Disney+ sometime in 2023.
