Great news. I talk a lot of smack about the prequels, but Hayden Christensen himself wasn't the problem. It was the excessive CG and terrible dialogue that did it, not the actors.
And for all my issues with the prequels, Revenge of the Sith is still a massive step up from those first two joints (nowhere close to seeing the OG movies though).

I can respect the prequels more than this new soulless Disney trilogy. At least the prequels still had a dope vision behind them, even if they weren't well-executed as movies.

Good for him. Hopefully he gets some redemption and kills the role :ehh:

I always liked his performances in Life As A House and Shattered Glass and (possibly an unpopular opinion incoming) I also didn't think he did a bad job in Episode III. :yeshrug: It's a pity that the SW fans and media killed his career because he could've grown and matured as an actor as time went on and found his niche.

Bro, watch this two minute scene and tell me if even Daniel Day Lewis could make this dialogue good



Hayden did fine with what he was given

I'm saying, the prequel script and directing even turned SAM JACKSON into a emotionless android. I never faulted Hayden for his Anakin portrayal, because Lucas is the one that wrote him as a whiny simp with corny fake-Macbeth pickup lines. I've only seen him in 3 other movies....Jumper, the one with Edris, T.I. & Chris Brown, and a joint with Bruce Willis as a crooked cop. His acting was fine in all those to me :yeshrug:
