Granted I'm sure when in the suit his voice will be dubbed over (either by James Earl Jones or a soundalike), but if there are any scenes of him not in the suit it'll be neat to see how his performance will be under a different director (the general consciousness is the casting for the Prequels was sound but Lucas didn't always give the best direction, though Episode 3 was the big highlight for stars McGregor and Christensen).

I don't really feel like there's a ton to be excited about since he's gonna be voiced by another actor and likely a different one/CGI to play Vader's 6'8"ish height.

Here's hoping they don't butcher A New Hope by having Vader and Obi-Wan clash a bunch of times.

Hayden Christensen? That's a surprise. I thought he retired from acting due to people making fun of him as Anankin Skywalker. It's nice to see his reprise his role, though.

You might be thinking of Jake Lloyd, who played young Anakin in Episode 1.

Ah, right. Must've confused the two.
Also I looked him up and uh, man he had it rough in his later years.
