Is Hayden Christianson confimed to be in Episode VIII?

My sister says it's confirmed that he will be back! Is it true?

Google is your friend.

No, he's not confirmed.

And I sure hope he won't be.

Might end up being there as a Force Ghost.

Given the massive success of TFA I doubt Disney will feel the need to keep running away from the PT. If it fits into the story then bring him in. But the story should come first.

could also be argued "why change a winning formula" in their meetings.
they were clearly tapping the OT and not the PT for ep7. they also know well that bringing back hayden would be a risky and controversial move, something disney is not really noted for.

Nah. The fact the Prequels were the last 3 SW movies and this one is on route to becoming the biggest movie of all time shows they don't need to worry about "Prequel Hate."

They should do whatever serves the story best.

IF he were in the film, it would most likely be in a flashback capacity.

ie. Rey uses her psychometry on Luke's lightsaber again, and has a flashback of Anakin/Hayden using it to slay Younglings in the Jedi Temple.

It would be something like that, imo.

Or he could be the wise force ghost, to both Rey and Luke.

Just handwave him looking younger then his son..

The wise ghost? He doesn't mean anything to anyone. Luke never knew him like that and to Rey he's total stranger.

Maybe if they wish really really hard...

😂

A scene of Ghost Anakin attempting to sway Ren from the dark side could be interesting.

No.

please?

If it was just a flashback scene, they could have used stock footage.

So either it's new scenes of his attrocities, or something in the present, which basically means ghost/vision.

I agree with you! The Prequels happened weather people want to admit it or not. If it works for the story then I say go for it! I don't think they should ignore the Prequels anyway. If anything, to find ways to redeem the Prequels & make everything fit together is a much better idea in my book. Also, because this is a pretty risky idea, I somehow can't see it being done unless the creators have a really good idea with it, & know what they're doing. So I think if it does happen, it will work.
