I just watched a rerun of [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_of_Chef) episode and I was wondering.

I don’t think so. That ep. Seemed painful for Matt and Trey. They seemed to love Isaac. I thinl he is finit.

I think he will, eventually. I don’t think it will happen until the next season, though.

Based on [this](http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/music/stories/MYSA102706.WK.hayes.1db37cb.html) article, I’d say its unlikely. Chef as a character had all but disappeared from the show before this season, anyway.

Well, that certainly came across in Stan’s eulogy.

I wonder if this business will ever cause Isaac to doubt his faith.

Or bugger children. Whatever.

But Darth Chef’s voice is done by the guy who dubbed Darth Maul, Peter Serafinowicz. Hayes is irrelevant.

If the Sun’s report that [Tom Cruise is Scientology’s Jesus](http://208.100.26.199/sdmb/showthread.php?t=405601) is true, than Isaac might reconsider his religion. That would be hard for anyone to take.

I doubt Isaac Hayes will return as Chef but I could see South Park revisit Darth Chef. Especially if they do another Scientology connected piece at some point.

If Hayes ever changes his mind, a Return of the Jedi parody can’t be far off.
