Hayden Christensen returning for 'Star Wars: Episode 8'?

The San Jose Mercury News reports:

So Hayden Christensen is going to be in "Star Wars: Episode 8," and ...

Wait. What?

Website MakingStarWars.net says a team from the U.K. is heading to the U.S. to train Christensen for a role in Episode 8, which Disney has slated for release in 2017. The film will be directed by Rian Johnson ("Looper"), who apparently was living in a cave when Christensen destroyed the role of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

Disney needs to make some money back.
