"Game of Thrones" cast Maisie Williams has likened the evolution of her character, Arya Stark, to that of "Star Wars" villain Darth Vader, as she claimed that she wants The Hound back for season 5.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, "Game of Thrones" cast Maisie Williams said that "Star Wars" villain Darth Vader has always been misunderstood because the George Lucas' films started off with him as the bad guy, "then you find out so much more about him before."

"And it's the same with Arya, although we're actually seeing that twisted path, which is almost more disturbing than you hating a character and then realising they're actually quite good," she said.

"Game of Thrones" cast Maisie Williams said that fans of the series have seen Arya Stark, whom she described as "a lovely young, funny girl," then slowly being chipped away to become somebody else entirely.

"I think, even for me, it was really hard to play, and I'm reading scenes, like, 'God, this is not the Arya that I thought I was going to be playing,'" she said. "And yeah, it's different and I really, really hope people still continue to follow her storyline."

Meanwhile, in another interview with Vulture magazine, she revealed her wish to see Rory McCann reprise his role as Sandor "The Hound" Clegane who was left for dead after a battle with Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie).

"I really hope that it's not the end of the Hound," she said, adding that she hasn't received the script yet. "If it was up to me - and it's not up to me, unfortunately - but the Hound would be back in a second."

According to Us Weekly, "Game of Thrones" cast Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, has a good friendship with the Scottish actor that they even developed their own language together.

"Before breakfast, he's not the happiest chappie, but after, he's the loveliest guy. We have our own 'egg language' that Rory taught me," she said.
