Hayden Christensen To Return In 'Star Wars' Episode 8 As Darth Vader? Did Rachel Bilson Hint The Comeback?

The marketing of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is in full swing, with new trailer and merchandise made available in the market.

And while the seventh episode to the cult classic scifi film is soon to arrive, fans turn their head to the planned eighth sequel.

While details have been kept under wrap, there's an ongoing rumor claiming that Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader in the previous sequels titled "Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith," is going to return.

Disney has yet to comment on the said rumors, but could his baby mama and long time girlfriend, Rachel Bilson been teasing his return?

The "Hart of Dixie" star has coyly posted a photo of Darth Vader on her Instagram account.

When you run out of bags at target and the one they are offering to purchase has daddy's face on it.....

It could just be all a coincedence, but still in this time and day everything should be taken into consideration.

While Hollywood Life noted that Darth Vader's last appearance was " Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi," where he died saving the Emperor from destruction, Cinema Blend agreed that there could be indications of Darth Vader's survival.

Making Star Wars added that their sources have confirmed Hayde Christensen is indeed returning to "Star Wars."

"A team in the U.K. are soon heading to the U.S. to begin training Hayden Christensen for a Star Wars: Episode VIII appearance of some sort."

Hollywood Life added that "Star Wars Episode VIII" is now currently filming in England.

However, not everyone is happy with the idea of Hayden Christensen reprising her role as Darth Vader.

"Christensen's performance as both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader in the second and third Star Wars movies has been largely panned by many because of his lack of emotion in playing these characters," Inquisitr reported.

While nothing is impossible, the reports should still be taken with a grain of salt unless Disney confirmed the news.

"Star Wars Episode 8" is going to be released two years following "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which will hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
