Christensen, who recently returned to the franchise as Anakin Skywalker in the Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Ahsoka,” was joined by his alter-ego, Darth Vader, and a squad of Stormtroopers for the launch of the building’s “March to May the 4th” campaign.

The actor flipped an oversized ceremonial switch to turn the top of the building’s lights Sith-red and officially start the festivities.

Before he did, Christensen told the assembled media he was honored to represent the franchise, adding, “‘Star Wars’ has been a very important part of my life, and so it’s a real pleasure to get to be here and see this amazing show that they’re going to put on.
