I remember in the late 90s, early 00s' there were rumblings of him playing Anakin. I had always wondered if there was any truth to it. I also remember that crazy rumor of an NSYNC cameo happening in Episode 2.



Hmmm....

I think Leo would kill it as the Riddler.

i just hated hayden christensen so much

James Franco should've been Anakin

WHAT?

didnt think he was all that bad. just the whipping boy for a bunch of diehard disgruntled fans. portman and neason both went on to say the movies almost ruined them. granted im not the biggest star wars fan but much of the dialogue is just silly. theres only so much u can do.

i liked him in shattered glass

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

WHAT?

yup. He plays a good psycho like Harry Osborne and can be serious like in 127 hours and he looks similar to Hayden

Filmography

I rewatched the prequels last week and I like them more than what I did. What really gets me is that its 90 percent dated CGI.
The fight scenes being more flashy than the 4-7 makes sense when you realize they had a Temple for Master Jedi to train younglings.

After Order 66, the remaining few Jedi had to go into hiding so they couldnt pass on their skills with the lightsaber.

I don't know much about Star Wars when compared to real fans/stans, but that shyt bothered me until I read this post.
Thank you

real shyt i am a fan of Natalie Portman but i hate damn near every scene she's in for those...theres really not many good acting performances across the board in the entire franchise.

Adam Driver was funny on Girls but he was not good in star wars. He must be some kind of industry plant they want to succeed, because he was pretty goofy without the mask in this movie.

I think if you've seen him in Girls, you realize he kinda sucks as an actor.

He was interesting there because he has a weird talking cadence, has a weird face, and did weird things, which made sense for that role and it seemed like he was a pretty good actor to create this one off goofy character.

When you then see him in TFA, you realize that's just how he is and his attempts at being emo and conflicted are pretty stale and flat and he sounds just like himself on Girls.

But back to the topic, that comment about James Franco woulda been the best fit

Hayden was so flat trying to press up on her. Franco woulda finessed Padme with a force wink and been in that bihs draws day one.
