Anakin Skywalker is making a big comeback. The latest actor to confirm he’s returning to the role is Matt Lanter, who voiced the legendary Jedi on the animated Star Wars show Clone Wars. Lanter told Entertainment Weekly that we haven’t seen the last of his heroic version of the character, pre-Darth Vader days.
While discussing the upcoming Netflix superhero show Jupiter’s Legacy, Lanter said, “There’s some new Lucasfilm Animation going on. I’ve been a part of some things I can’t talk about yet. You’ll see Anakin again.”
“I never quite put Anakin down, whether I’m doing a video game or something new for Lucasfilm Animation,” he continued.
EW speculates that Anakin could make an appearance on the upcoming Disney+ show Star Wars: The Bad Batch, an animated series that is scheduled to arrive on the streaming service May 4.
Of course, even more well-known than–if perhaps not as well-liked as–Lanter’s portrayal of Anakin is Hayden Christensen’s turn as the character in the live-action Star Wars prequel movies. Christensen, too, will get another chance at the character on Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi show.
