  • In this short, George Lucas talks about how he cast Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. The same person who will turn into Darth Vader in Revenge of The Sith and that we will see in A New Hope afterward.

    Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.
    The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).
    The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.
    Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.

    do you think George was right when casting Hayden as Anakin?? Personally, Yes, without a doubt.

      There is one person who I can think of who could have played Anakin Skywalker a bit better than Hayden....
      It's me, because Hayden Christiansen was excellent, but he was acting that's the difference. I wouldn't be acting, I would take the role on and get the transformation/transition by drawing on my feelings from past negative past experiences mainly anger

    Hayden's portrayal as Anakin is so iconic, I can't imagine any other actor in the role. I'm glad that he is back in the new Star Wars series and that he is receiving the appreciation he deserves from the fans. He's a really good actor, plus his lightsaber skills are fantastic.

    People criticise George as a director and yes he is flawed but the notes he gives Hayden are genuinely pretty good here he’s not telling him how Anakin should feel he’s just giving context. By this video George is better director than writer.

    I think whats interesting is Lucas purposely had him have what critics call a "wooden performance "
    He was SUPPOSED to. He was copying the mannerisms of Vader.
    And i meen he was a slave that became a monk... almost no interactions beyond a mission mindset most of his life.

    I found the transition of Anakin to the darkside was way too sudden. I think they needed more of a catalyst at least one more movie to show it.

    • @AnaseSkyrider
      @AnaseSkyrider 2 дні тому

      It was built into, but it wasn't well portrayed. The entire movie, Anakin is getting desperate to save Padme. And when Palpatine dangles that carrot, and then when Anakin wants to follow the law but the Jedi wanted to simply execute Palpatine, Anakin saw them all as evil hypocrites. So he chose the one that would save Padme.
      Of course, rational people know that being zealous to execute a sith without a trial isn't the same as murdering children. But you know, it's not called a tragedy for no reason.

    This is the sign of a truly awful director of actors. Actors are creative people who work with emotions, you should never give them a full speech of what a character should be feeling, otherwise they will offer a plastic, robotic interpretation.
