Hayden Christensen is known for his role as Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels. Directed by George Lucas, the prequel trilogy explores Anakin's fall to the dark side as he transforms into the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Christensen suggested that Lucas give Anakin the Sith eyes to cement this transformation in the third and final part of the trilogy.
In the Star Wars universe, the corruption of the Sith is highlighted by their accentuated yellow eyes. Therefore, it is understandable that Christensen wanted this trait for his character to signify Anakin's turn to the dark side. However, Lucas initially turned down the idea before coming to a compromise, resulting in one of the franchise's best scenes. Here's what Christensen said about Anakin's yellow eyes in Revenge of the Sith.
