Hayden Christensen, who will play Darth Vader in the series «Obi-Wan Kenobi» says that lightsaber fights will be more like prequels than the original trilogy.

Christensen said that the style of fights on lightsabers «Obi-Wan Kenobi» will be like a duel in prequels that were more dynamic. In the original Star Wars, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader came together in a battle that involved far fewer movements and was more closely linked to the samurai battles that inspired George Lucas. In the series, both characters have not yet reached the age when they would have such limited mobility.

«We are more in line with the prequels than how the battles take place in the original trilogy. These heroes are old, but not so old»he said Christensen.

The plot of the series will tell about the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, who oversees the young Luke Skywalker and hides from the hunters of the Empire during the exile on Tatooine.

«Obi-Wan Kenobi» will debut at Disney + on May 27.
