They must have something in mind, relying heavily on flashbacks because they certainly could've hired anyone to wear the Vader armor. There's nothing inherently Christensen-centric about his wearing that stuff. He was only in it for about 18 seconds at the tail end of Episode III, after all. And you certainly couldn't tell it was Hayden Christensen. Could've been Lou Ferrigno, or Stone Cold Steve Austin, for all we knew.
So I'm thinking they'll do some flashbacks there too? Fill in some blanks, give us a few more glimpses of Anakin and Obi-Wan as friends, etc. Play around in that area between the animated stuff and episodes 2 and 3?
The other possibility, of course, would be regular scenes of a helmet-less Vader, with burn-makeup Christensen. But if they go and humanize/normalize Vader
too much - out of helmet/armor, floating in bacta tanks and thinking back on his bad behavior, they're going to preemptively make him a sympathetic character prior to the events of the original trilogy (the Kenobi show is set in that time between episodes 3 and 4...it takes until the very end of episode 6 for Vader to [i]not[/] be an asshole, after several movies of nothing but.
Let's not go and ruin this, Disney. Be
careful...
