Hayden Christensen on the Order in Which He’ll Someday Show His Kids the “Star Wars” Films: “At ‘Episode I’ as the storyteller has intended it. But yeah, that will be the day. I’ll have to preface it with the fact that it’s just a movie and wait to see their reaction. I don’t know. I’m looking forward to it.”
On His Personal Stash of “Star Wars” Props: “I keep them in my closet just because it would be a little weird if they were out on display, like on a mantel or something.”
On Which Deleted Scene from “Star Wars Episode III” He’ll Check Out First: “I don’t know. I mean there are lots of scenes that are cut. George films a lot and then through post-production, pares them down, truncates the story and gives it more focus. But I think for me…we spent a couple of days in a big vat of water. They made this big water tank for this sort of water sequence, or sequence in which we were supposed to be in fuel, and that on the page and as we were doing it seemed like it was really cool so that’s something I’m looking forward to seeing first because it’s not in the movie.”
Hayden Christensen on What He’s Looking for in Future Roles: “Ones that I haven’t done before. Ones that are going to challenge me and hopefully make me grow more as an actor and all that good stuff. I don’t know. I just finished a film called ‘The Decameron’ which was very much a departure from what I’ve done in the past. It was more like a comedic thing. I’m about to start work on a film which is a psychological drama/thriller and it will be challenging as well. Just, to be honest, honestly it’s less about the character and more about the story. If I’m drawn to the story, then I’ll find a way to play the character.”
