When Revenge of the Sith closed the book on the Prequel Trilogy in 2005, it seemed like the actor’s turn as the Jedi Master was over. But as old Ben’s greatest pupil says in The Rise of Skywalker, “No one’s ever really gone,” especially when it comes to Disney’s very nostalgic version of the galaxy far, far away....
