I'm happy knowing Hayden understands that after what Disney did to Star Wars, people are starting to appreciate the prequels more. God, that lightsaber fight between Obi Wan and Anakin is just iconic
Well, true Star Wars fans always appreciated them. It's more accurate to say, "Star Wars made new fans, after seeing the slop we had shoved down our throats by our liberal overlords" because even if you had some complaints about the prequels, you understood that that everything leading up to Star Wars being murdered, was all interconnected and intertwining. Star Wars was a universe, everything in that universe had a purpose, and everything in that universe impacts everything else. From KOTOR to the Imperial Civil War. From the Cold War to the Clone Wars, it all worked together to tell a story. What disnay did was destroy all of that, like I knew they would and replace it with "Straight People bad!" "White People bad!" "Men bad!".
@@deadmanwalking971 What's even more painful is that George Lucas himself said he felt betrayed by Disney. I wonder if he feels any guilt? Probably not he made so much fucking money.
@@Dustyholes I imagine he feels *some* guilt. After all, he not only busted his nuts trying to make up for the issues people had with the Prequels, but also expand upon what people *did* like. If he hadn't sold Star Wars, I imagine more and more people would've seen what I was talking about earlier, that everything he made connected.
+Christian Garcia I actually have high hopes for the new Star Wars movie. I think it will be great. Not only did JJ Abrams bring the Star Trek reboots that were very successful, but he is going back to practical effects and outdoor sets...something that George Lucas failed to bring to the table in the prequel trilogy. Most of it was green screen by the time Revenge of the Sith came out. And you want to talk about Disney? DISNEY brought us Pirates of the Caribbean. So no. Not everything done by Disney these days is unicorns and children movies. I would say that they have actually grown with the times. I have high hopes for Star Wars.
People should at least respect that about him. Nowadays, movie makers or actors would attack fans or blame us for not liking their movies and whatnot but Hayden doesn’t do that. He has every reason to attack back but he doesn’t.
@@Deathpool_04 i remember seeing an interview with him at a star wars convention. That subject was hit upon and basically said that that's just the way this business can be. You have to take the praise with the ridicule. It will happen and he understands this.
Tbh with the amount of bs Disney made he could’ve come back physically and not as a ghost because he was so powerful, especially since they made Kylo and Rey so powerful
Benjamin Diaz, YES! I burst into tears seeing him in ep. 6 edited in, I would have freaked out in the theatre if I saw him in ep. 9, where he should have been, as a Force Ghost. Huge missed opportunity!
TIFFANY PERSAUD he was actually supposed to physically be in ep 9!! however they cut all of his scenes out and just used him as a voice. rly pissed off abt it.
The voice thing was real weird in general; not necessarily the actual scene, but I saw something with Liam Neeson saying he had pretty much no idea what he was doing and neither did Sam Jackson
@@chronica6457 No it was the neckbeards. People loved Episode 1 when it first came out but then the forums and Plinkett reviews got all bitter because they didn't understand basic kids ideas that even Alex Jones can understand.
+QuadBuster BSG just because this video is uploaded in 2012 doesn't mean it was shot then. The "interview" is from 2005 just before the release of Episode III. So it's not "3 years later fuck it here's episode 7"
You were the chosen one, George! It was said that you would make good movies, not sell the rights to them! You were to bring balance to Star Wars, not leave it to Disney! You were my hero, George, I loved you.
+Bournefort That is what I thought, until I went back and watched a few fan edits. The fan edits are useful in that they help you to see different aspects of the prequels better. It turns out, the prequels are incredibly intricate and actually, overwhelmingly, adult material: political intrigue, intricate psychological games, meditation, emotional control, etc. etc. etc. Lucas probably felt they were so serious that he had to throw in even wackier comic relief to counter balance, or people would criticize the movies as being too heavy. The reality is, they are incredibly detailed and complex pieces. One of the important insights that I have had in particular is that when you see "bad acting," it is probably intentional. Much of the time, the characters in the story are actually acting a bit or being manipulative with each other, to test their trustworthiness. Anakin does it a lot to Obi Wan, and vice versa.
Even if Hayden stood there for every Star Wars film and didn’t say a word. He’ll still be a good actor coz he looks the part. He’s the only person that could be Anakin
I honestly think Christian Bale should’ve been Anakin. I got the idea after watching Equilibrium. He also looks like a younger Sebastian Shaw. Even though I’m not fan of the PT (Even though I like ROTS. It’s good but not great) but the PT is WAY better then the ST.
I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I actually liked that Hayden's ghost was digitally added to the last film. As a kid who was introduced to all of the movies as a whole, I didn't have a bias for the prequels or the originals. I just loved them all. The ghost appearing as young Anakin really brought a sense of closure to the character for me. It felt like the whole series connected at the very end and the Anakin that I knew in the prequels finally redeemed himself. I understand why fans who experienced the originals as they were coming out would be upset with the change, but I loved it. Just my opinion.
Hayden Christiensen is the Keanu Reeves of the star wars movies. He's humble, he's gentile, he's kind, he keeps to himself, yet everyone loves him. It's hard to believe that before the sequels and r/prequelmemes he was hated. How could anyone hate him?
Hayden Christensen is a nice guy and I have nothing against him personally at all. But I’m not fan of him as an actor. However I still think the Sequel Trilogy is worse.
That’s what I love about 1-6, Anakin/ Vader was the center, it was an epic tragedy. As much as I enjoyed 7, it didn’t center around Darth Vader or Anakin, which I understand, but it felt like it was missing something. And with 8, where does it go now? Who knows?
I love George Lucas and Hayden Christensen so much. Forget the prequel haters. It was perfect and served its intended purpose. I love Star Wars, every bit of it. Prequels included. And I'm thankful that George gave us such an amazing story that has affected our lives in so many ways. I'm truly greatful.
12 The clone wars 11 Solo 10 Last jedi 9 Phantom menace ( yes it still sucks ) 8 Force Awakens ( overrated ) 7 Rogue one ( overrated ) 6 Attack of the clones ( I have my reasons ) 5 The rise of skywalker ( JJ tried to fix the problem but failed but I still like it I know I know ) 4 A new hope 3 Empire strikes back 2 Return of the jedi 1 Revenge of the sith
That'd be awesome! Mark is so witty, down to earth, and comfortable with other people. He brings out the best in others. From what I've seen of Hayden's interviews, that's when he really does well. Mark and Carrie would've been phenomenal! Too bad that never got to happen. Ewan McGregor and Hayden would be a good combo, too. I'd like to see Harrison in the mix, too, but he seems so done with Star Wars, he'd just be poopin' all over that party.
Me: Disney taken a huge shit on Gorge ideas for the sequels I want to see Gorge vision for the sequels instead of James Jimmy Abrams and Ruined Johnson.
I don't really like the sequel trilogy even after JJ Abrams admit that there's isn't a plan for 7-9 they had three outlines that Gorge did and Kathleen Kennedy didn't used them and said that Star Wars has no source material.
Bink 8 U agree but it was his decision to step back. The fame from Star Wars was overwhelming for him and he's a very shy person. I think that's why he bought a farm in the middle of nowhere after the trilogy was over.
Pamela Johnson well he did other movies to like jumper which I loved and if you haven’t seen it SEE IT! But he’s been in other movies his best movies were attack of the clones revenge of the sith and jumper easily!
Y'know what? I feel really sorry for Hayden Christensen. I went back and rewatched all the Star Wars films (like everyone probably did) before seeing The Force Awakens, and honestly? He didn't actually do a bad job. Okay, yes Attack Of The Clones wasn't great, but that was mainly script I think... Revenge Of The Sith, on the other hand, was an INCREDIBLY good film for what they had to do with it. In the space of less than 2hrs Anakin had to go from being the hope for the future to the darkest character potentially in cinema history so far. It's not an easy progression, and personally I think Hayden played the downfall very well. Again, script wasn't amazing, but based on expressions alone he doesn't deserve the hate he's given. Don't care what you say about line delivery, you cannot fault him on showing the inner turmoil and ridiculous range of emotions Anakin felt during RotS's story.
+Quatza Rij I used "potentially" because yes, as a character, he himself is not dark. His story however, is actually quite dark and when he turns in Revenge Of The Sith, it cannot be denied; he kills children that can't be older than 7. He chokes his own pregnant wife to death. And in the original trilogy, he blows up a planet just to make a point, threatens his own son with death (and tortures his friends just for the hell of it [let's be honest, just capturing them would've made Luke come to the rescue, the torture wasn't needed]), agrees that his son either has to join them or die, then watches him be tortured before FINALLY realising it was wrong and doing the right thing. If I'd said "he IS the darkest character", then sure there'd be room for argument, but I didn't.
Olivia McDonagh Stop being so pedantic with your wording. I'm just saying it was a very grandiose claim for you to make. I had fun watching the interview, agree with most of your sentiments even, but to compare his character to the huge amount of dark cinema is a bit of a stretch. I won't even ruin Oldboy for you, but since it's my example, take the charater of Lee Woo-jin. He isn't cliche dark (like I think Anakin was, but really don't mind!) but definitely darker than Anakin.
This is why Hayden is a great Anakin. His respect for the series. When you can play "Darth Vader". your director wants you to feel like he can sit down with you and discuss all this. Also, the music of Star Wars is epic.
Andres Villanueva I think it still kinda is because The saga is about anakins life before, to darts Vader, to the impact his life had and the effect it has put on the Characters
+SkyWalking, the OP was talking about Episode 3 and you're talking about Episode 2, but yeah, I really agree with you on all those points. The dialogue and storyline did get better in 3, though, as they showed Anakin's downward spiral into becoming Vader.
This is so upsetting watching this I watched the rise of skywalker and hearing George talk about being independent and having no corporate pressure is just awful he should've never sold Lucas film to them
@@Oneeye_snaps sadly he wanted to make sequels and he thought it would take at least 10 years to make and he was worried he was gonna die before he could finish and wanted to continue star wars so he sold it having his trust in Disney
Guys Hayden is a good actor. It's George's shity direction that fucked him over. Just watch him at the parts where he has no dialogue its awesome. Looks like a fucking badass
+Phalvesaurus Anybody can look menacing, it's not that difficult. A strong actor can make the movie better just by how they act. Ewan McGregor was a good example of this, as he can deliver even ghastly lines and still make them bearable. Just because someone can look a certain way doesn't mean they're a good actor.
"The saga is now finished. It starts with Anakin as an eight-year-old and ends when Anakin dies." Every time I think of what Disney is doing... I just see the new movies as a independent material, nothing to do with the original saga, the George Lucas Star Wars. They are getting a lot of bad feedback, but they just don''t care. They are too busy destroying everything George did, even killing all the characters that they can.
Must say that since the new movies are bullshit, and that they kill the entire canon just to make a new one (pretty bad, again) i kept with what they now call SW legends. Pretty good stories.
Everyone complains about the romance being awkward....how do you expect a celibate warrior monk and senator to flirt?? It's like they want romantically illiterate teens to be as charming as James Bond. I thought the entire film was very well done.
@@oscarrivera3929 I mean being realistic as well, Anakin grew up a goddamn slave and then left his mother prematurely at 9 to go to a distant city planet with a bunch of people he didn’t know to become a space monk sworn to never love or form attachments to anyone. Like he’s gonna be weird and fucked up. You would be after all that.
2011: “It’s all about Anakin” 2019: “Yea let’s just take Hayden Christensen out and put Rey in and see how this goes” Edit: Yes 2005 lol. Idk what I was thinking writing 2011.
Ugh the cringe 🤦♂️🤦♂️ it’s funny because George said he’s independent and never had to basically report to a corporation. Example of no one wanting to see a movie about a 9 year old boy and here we got the corporate saying they don’t want attention away from the character no one gives a fuck about. Literally makes me hate Rey even more. How the fuck do they not realize after 2 movies of shit they still trying to push hot garbage
Stervenity Virgo Exactly!! Nobody cares for Rey! The want to see Anakin back, the original characters in their last movie or in general! Not Rey completely taking over Star Wars!
Honestly I have a very rare opinion in that I loved Anakin and the prequels and I also love Rey and the new trilogy. I know that sounds naive but I just havent really seen anything wrong with anything Star Wars related so far
Rey is what Anakin would have become if he didn’t have the strict Jedi order restricting his lifestyle choices and not making him a master and then the powerful emperor taking over and denying any hopes he had to redeem himself
I love seeing Hayden Christensen care deeply about the characters and express the honor it was to be in the movie. Especially after seeing daisy Ridley, and boyega complain about the movies and working on them and how they would never do it again. I like to imagine Hayden would be Vader again in an instant, if asked.
Piggybacking on that I feel like if George was still in control and he made the sequel trilogy, Daisy and John wouldn't have had reason to complain and they would have felt just as humbled as Christensen and we would've seen more of Christensen too
Hayden needs to come back and play anakin again especially since he looks the same and hopefully he will in the 2021-2022 obi-wan series as a big role if they don’t bring him back they are wasting opportunitys
You know, I will say this. I am really sick and tired of everybody hating on Hayden Christensen for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Let's face it. An actor's portrayal of a character is only as good as the director telling him how to portray that character. From reviews, interviews, and other such sources, George Lucas has never been one to really press people to act a certain way. He basically says "Action" and lets them create the character how they see it. This can lead to a lot of bad acting. And not just in Star Wars. This can happen in ANY movie out there. You know why other movies are so popular and actors are giving a great performance? Because the director is the one pushing them to. Michael Bay was called "Hitler" by Megan Fox because he pushes his actors REALLY hard to give it their best. But every Transformer movie you see has had GOOD acting in it. Or at least I think so. So stop hating on Hayden for his portrayal of Anakin. He did the best he could with the little coaching and guidance that he had.
+ghostdog2041 I prefer this in all honesty. Everything in Star Wars ends up getting an Origin Story or explanation....Kyber Crystals for Lightsabers...Midichlorian for force....Cloning facility for Boba...I hope Yoda remains a mysterious character...Mind you, having Yaddle alive, made Yoda less special.
@@rachelk864 I mean, if you look at all the main characters over the years (before disnay got their filthy vermin claws on it) look at Anakin, look at Luke, look at Starkiller, look at Revan, what do you see? Power...power that had to be earned. Anakin had actual Jedi training, Luke kept fucking up before he finally mastered his powers, Starkiller had insane amounts of brutal training, and Revan had actual Jedi training. They worked to become the powerhouses they were. On the other hand, mrey sue just knew how to be perfect at everything, from piloting starships she's never fuckin seen or heard of before, to easily defeating force users trained by *Luke Skywalker* himself...to easily defeating the same *Luke Skywalker!* Oh, and liberals that say Luke's a Mary Sue because he knew how to pilot an X-Wing are fucking retarded. Luke, back on Tatooine used to fly his personal *Incom* T-16 Skyhopper and bullseye Womprats. Later when he joined the rebels, he flew his *Incom* T-65 X-Wing and destroyed the Death Star. In case any liberal scumfuck reads this, *INCOM DESIGNED AND CREATED BOTH THE T-16 SKYHOPPER ANS THE T-65 X-WING! THE T-16 AND T-65 HAVE NEARLY THE SAME CONTROL SCHEME AND SCHEME LAYOUT! SO THAT'S HOW LUKE COULD PILOT AN X-WING, DESPITE HAVING NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE!*
@@christopherstein2024 do you not listen? George made the ghost of Anakin the age and last moments while he was still on the light side of the force which was how he looked in the beginning of episode III
As Lucas said, the story is supposed to be based around Anakin. It feels like Disney is just trying to go for a cash grab and make episodes 7, 8, and 9 about Luke. I can’t believe they didn’t have Anakin appear in episode 9. What a disappointment. Star Wars isn’t independent anymore, and it shows in Disney’s cash grab films.
He was supposed to be. A teenage farm boy who only dreams of getting off the wasteland he's on. He grows as a character and you see that. That's because of actually good dialogue and great acting. it worked imo
Olympic Egg The person means to say that the prequels were brilliant compared to the new trilogy. Most people, I included, would rather not have the new trilogy even be anywhere near the Star Wars franchise. Episode VI was the best finale... but Disney ruined it.
Christensen didn't even have any great faults in his acting. He did a phenomenal job, extremely masterful at conveying emotions. Honestly he was the one who made revenge of the sith a great movie. Anyone who jumps on the "he is a bad actor" bandwagon because of a few corny lines in AOTC is a shimpanzee following the crowd and unable to think for themselves.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Really, you don't kno....ok, what happened is that he made the prequels. And some of the people who call themselves "fans", but just are really toxic, were badmouthing them, and sent George Lucas death threats. He couldn't deal with it, so he sold to Disney.
@MiniKun-t it's still a spoiler for people who have been waiting 2 years for this movie and hoping he's in the movie. Due to how shit the sequels have been I hoped he maybe in it. Then you with your little comment spoiled it. 😲
I'm a HUGE Hayden fan and his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker was flawless. He gave the character a personality, a life, he wasn't the dick that was Darth Vader but a real human being that lost control of his emotions which lead him to a bad place, aka the dark side. If that's not good acting, then I don't know what it.
This interview is AMAZING. They couldn't have gotten a better person to play Anakin. Hayden is amazing. "The saga starts with Anakin and ends with Anakin."
Hayden's acting when he's not being forced to vomit silly dialogue about sand is actually damn solid, if not better than that. The scene where his mom dies in his arms, or when he and Padme are staring out the windows at each others' buildings, wondering what's going to happen to them, among others, are pretty emotional and powerful.
That’s what I’m saying he played the roll Anakin very well an emotional angry conflicted and confused man. I mean if course there was cheesy and strange dialogue but who cares honestly.
Aldwinsanity yeah don't get me wrong im sure Disney wants to make more money but don't forget they did the avengers and advengers 2 and all the rest of the marvel movies it will be good trust me and jj is a much deeper writer and director look at star trek and he said he likes star wars better it should be good and im sure ppl are curious what happened after that whole situation idk I think they can make it good
Eric Jackson official channel what’s wrong with you? The sequels clearly contradicts this statement and if you’re too stupid to realize it then I’m not gonna explain any further
Matt has the deeper, more menacing voice, while Hayden puts emotion and realism into the character via more than just voice acting. Both are good in my book
“The saga starts with Anakin and ends with Anakin.”

Crimson Skull that’s what we all want, and need
Vader - Dark Lord of the Sith rated-R
Who Cares he’ll yeah
Hayden deserves to be way more successful. He's a great actor and did what he could with the script he was given.
It was his own decision to drop acting.
Inergio he still is acting but he hasn’t been the main character since jumper which I loved
Not only that but he's got a heart of gold too
@Mad Sparow good instincts and behind the scenes interviews with other cast members talking about him.
Super gamer Boy first kill was actually a good movie. He was the main character
George Lucas summed it up perfectly. Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker. Episode 6 was the perfect ending.
Tbh with the amount of bs Disney made he could’ve come back physically and not as a ghost because he was so powerful, especially since they made Kylo and Rey so powerful
@@JamieT17I’m definitely ignoring the sequel trilogy
Should’ve come back as a ghost instead of a voice in the rise of skywalker
Benjamin Diaz, YES! I burst into tears seeing him in ep. 6 edited in, I would have freaked out in the theatre if I saw him in ep. 9, where he should have been, as a Force Ghost. Huge missed opportunity!
TIFFANY PERSAUD yea I love they change the ending of episode 6 from the old actor to hayden as anakin it fills everything together now
TIFFANY PERSAUD he was actually supposed to physically be in ep 9!! however they cut all of his scenes out and just used him as a voice. rly pissed off abt it.
The voice thing was real weird in general; not necessarily the actual scene, but I saw something with Liam Neeson saying he had pretty much no idea what he was doing and neither did Sam Jackson
They shot scenes with him but cut them
I'm so mad neckbeards bullied Hayden out of Hollywood. I would've loved to see him as a successful actor, he's such a genuine and friendly looking guy
He chose to leave the Hollywood world, don’t worry about it at least he’s happy!

+ZombieSl4yer My favorite prequel was Episode 3 HAND'S DOWN
+sean stout Agreed, Revenge of the Sith was the best. The prequels didn't have the best acting but they were excellent.
+Bournefort That is what I thought, until I went back and watched a few fan edits. The fan edits are useful in that they help you to see different aspects of the prequels better. It turns out, the prequels are incredibly intricate and actually, overwhelmingly, adult material: political intrigue, intricate psychological games, meditation, emotional control, etc. etc. etc.
Lucas probably felt they were so serious that he had to throw in even wackier comic relief to counter balance, or people would criticize the movies as being too heavy.
The reality is, they are incredibly detailed and complex pieces.
One of the important insights that I have had in particular is that when you see "bad acting," it is probably intentional. Much of the time, the characters in the story are actually acting a bit or being manipulative with each other, to test their trustworthiness. Anakin does it a lot to Obi Wan, and vice versa.
Hayden will always be Anakin, and Vader. He was perfect
Even if Hayden stood there for every Star Wars film and didn’t say a word. He’ll still be a good actor coz he looks the part. He’s the only person that could be Anakin
I agree
I agree bro
Mad Sparow nahhh bro only he could play anakin
facts
I honestly think Christian Bale should’ve been Anakin. I got the idea after watching Equilibrium. He also looks like a younger Sebastian Shaw.
Even though I’m not fan of the PT (Even though I like ROTS. It’s good but not great) but the PT is WAY better then the ST.
I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I actually liked that Hayden's ghost was digitally added to the last film. As a kid who was introduced to all of the movies as a whole, I didn't have a bias for the prequels or the originals. I just loved them all. The ghost appearing as young Anakin really brought a sense of closure to the character for me. It felt like the whole series connected at the very end and the Anakin that I knew in the prequels finally redeemed himself. I understand why fans who experienced the originals as they were coming out would be upset with the change, but I loved it. Just my opinion.
I had the same experience

Hayden Christiensen is the Keanu Reeves of the star wars movies. He's humble, he's gentile, he's kind, he keeps to himself, yet everyone loves him. It's hard to believe that before the sequels and r/prequelmemes he was hated. How could anyone hate him?
Hayden Christensen is a nice guy and I have nothing against him personally at all. But I’m not fan of him as an actor.
However I still think the Sequel Trilogy is worse.
@@MovieEnforcer Fair enough.
its kinda mind blowing realizing that the entire Star Wars saga is completely about Anakin.
+Jake Capezzuto Also, if Jar Jar Binks turns out to be a Sith Lord, the prequels will be 100x better
That’s what I love about 1-6, Anakin/ Vader was the center, it was an epic tragedy. As much as I enjoyed 7, it didn’t center around Darth Vader or Anakin, which I understand, but it felt like it was missing something. And with 8, where does it go now? Who knows?
Andrew Miller into the shitter
Squiddich lol you couldn't have been more right
Boy oh boy, this comment did not age well. Rey Skywalker anyone?
I love George Lucas and Hayden Christensen so much. Forget the prequel haters. It was perfect and served its intended purpose. I love Star Wars, every bit of it. Prequels included. And I'm thankful that George gave us such an amazing story that has affected our lives in so many ways. I'm truly greatful.
Perfect is a strong word. They are really great movies, but they aren't percect.
Brandon they aren’t perfect in anyway but they are good specially compared to what Disney gives us
They are just as good as the original trilogy. I have yet to see a perfect movie.. but the prequels come pretty close!
Obviously nothing's perfect yet everyone has to state that for everything
Then the sequels came out.

I wish they made unscripted with Hayden Christensen ad Mark Hamill
Yes! Father and son!
That'd be awesome! Mark is so witty, down to earth, and comfortable with other people. He brings out the best in others. From what I've seen of Hayden's interviews, that's when he really does well. Mark and Carrie would've been phenomenal! Too bad that never got to happen. Ewan McGregor and Hayden would be a good combo, too. I'd like to see Harrison in the mix, too, but he seems so done with Star Wars, he'd just be poopin' all over that party.
George: ''I dont like beginnings''
Anakin: ''I dont like younglings''
Me: Disney taken a huge shit on Gorge ideas for the sequels I want to see Gorge vision for the sequels instead of James Jimmy Abrams and Ruined Johnson.
Hayden: “I don’t like sand”
I don't really like the sequel trilogy even after JJ Abrams admit that there's isn't a plan for 7-9 they had three outlines that Gorge did and Kathleen Kennedy didn't used them and said that Star Wars has no source material.
Hayden Christensen needs to be put into the greenlight again, I'd like to see what he could do today
Bink 8 U agree but it was his decision to step back. The fame from Star Wars was overwhelming for him and he's a very shy person. I think that's why he bought a farm in the middle of nowhere after the trilogy was over.
Pamela Johnson well he did other movies to like jumper which I loved and if you haven’t seen it SEE IT! But he’s been in other movies his best movies were attack of the clones revenge of the sith and jumper easily!
Super gamer Boy I have seen all his other films. Been following his career since Higher Ground tv show. I got into Star Wars because of him.
Super gamer Boy Btw I have Jumper on DVD. Shame they never did part two as they'd discussed.
Pamela Johnson ikr it would be cool if like marvel bought it and Hayden could be in the mcu that would be cool
I could literally listen to these two talk about Star Wars forever.
Y'know what? I feel really sorry for Hayden Christensen. I went back and rewatched all the Star Wars films (like everyone probably did) before seeing The Force Awakens, and honestly? He didn't actually do a bad job. Okay, yes Attack Of The Clones wasn't great, but that was mainly script I think... Revenge Of The Sith, on the other hand, was an INCREDIBLY good film for what they had to do with it. In the space of less than 2hrs Anakin had to go from being the hope for the future to the darkest character potentially in cinema history so far. It's not an easy progression, and personally I think Hayden played the downfall very well. Again, script wasn't amazing, but based on expressions alone he doesn't deserve the hate he's given. Don't care what you say about line delivery, you cannot fault him on showing the inner turmoil and ridiculous range of emotions Anakin felt during RotS's story.
+Olivia McDonagh Potentially the darkest character in cinema history, eh? You ever seen Old Boy?
+Quatza Rij ...do you even know what "potentially" means?
Olivia McDonagh I'm just saying he really isn't that dark when you compare him to everything else in cinema history
+Quatza Rij I used "potentially" because yes, as a character, he himself is not dark. His story however, is actually quite dark and when he turns in Revenge Of The Sith, it cannot be denied; he kills children that can't be older than 7. He chokes his own pregnant wife to death. And in the original trilogy, he blows up a planet just to make a point, threatens his own son with death (and tortures his friends just for the hell of it [let's be honest, just capturing them would've made Luke come to the rescue, the torture wasn't needed]), agrees that his son either has to join them or die, then watches him be tortured before FINALLY realising it was wrong and doing the right thing.
If I'd said "he IS the darkest character", then sure there'd be room for argument, but I didn't.
Olivia McDonagh Stop being so pedantic with your wording. I'm just saying it was a very grandiose claim for you to make.
I had fun watching the interview, agree with most of your sentiments even, but to compare his character to the huge amount of dark cinema is a bit of a stretch.
I won't even ruin Oldboy for you, but since it's my example, take the charater of Lee Woo-jin. He isn't cliche dark (like I think Anakin was, but really don't mind!) but definitely darker than Anakin.
Oh my god Hayden is so well-spoken I could listen to him for centuries
This is why Hayden is a great Anakin. His respect for the series. When you can play "Darth Vader". your director wants you to feel like he can sit down with you and discuss all this. Also, the music of Star Wars is epic.

@@Oneeye_snaps sadly he wanted to make sequels and he thought it would take at least 10 years to make and he was worried he was gonna die before he could finish and wanted to continue star wars so he sold it having his trust in Disney

Guys Hayden is a good actor. It's George's shity direction that fucked him over. Just watch him at the parts where he has no dialogue its awesome. Looks like a fucking badass
+Phalvesaurus Anakin was pretty creepy looking in Episode 3.
+Phalvesaurus Anybody can look menacing, it's not that difficult. A strong actor can make the movie better just by how they act.

"The saga is now finished. It starts with Anakin as an eight-year-old and ends when Anakin dies."
Every time I think of what Disney is doing... I just see the new movies as a independent material, nothing to do with the original saga, the George Lucas Star Wars.
They are getting a lot of bad feedback, but they just don''t care. They are too busy destroying everything George did, even killing all the characters that they can.
I'm so glad that someone else thinks like this!
Must say that since the new movies are bullshit, and that they kill the entire canon just to make a new one (pretty bad, again) i kept with what they now call SW legends. Pretty good stories.
I knew they were going to destroy the Star Wars universe...I called it as soon as I found out disnay bought it.

I actually loved attack of the clones though
Same ! I honestly think this movie is underrated .

Literally makes me hate Rey even more. How the fuck do they not realize after 2 movies of shit they still trying to push hot garbage
Stervenity Virgo Exactly!! Nobody cares for Rey! The want to see Anakin back, the original characters in their last movie or in general! Not Rey completely taking over Star Wars!
Miraculous Pretty Cure yeah fuck Rey
Honestly I have a very rare opinion in that I loved Anakin and the prequels and I also love Rey and the new trilogy. I know that sounds naive but I just havent really seen anything wrong with anything Star Wars related so far
Rey is what Anakin would have become if he didn’t have the strict Jedi order restricting his lifestyle choices and not making him a master and then the powerful emperor taking over and denying any hopes he had to redeem himself
I love seeing Hayden Christensen care deeply about the characters and express the honor it was to be in the movie. Especially after seeing daisy Ridley, and boyega complain about the movies and working on them and how they would never do it again.
I like to imagine Hayden would be Vader again in an instant, if asked.
Bobby Holloway tbf the sequels were a garbage story that had no direction, the prequels no matter how you feel about them, had a specific direction.
Piggybacking on that I feel like if George was still in control and he made the sequel trilogy, Daisy and John wouldn't have had reason to complain and they would have felt just as humbled as Christensen and we would've seen more of Christensen too
Well I wouldnt want to play in the sequels either
@@struggleskywalker1025 Exactly, even Ewan thinks it's a honor to be back to play Obi Wan.

You know, I will say this. I am really sick and tired of everybody hating on Hayden Christensen for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Let's face it. An actor's portrayal of a character is only as good as the director telling him how to portray that character. From reviews, interviews, and other such sources, George Lucas has never been one to really press people to act a certain way. He basically says "Action" and lets them create the character how they see it. This can lead to a lot of bad acting. And not just in Star Wars. This can happen in ANY movie out there. You know why other movies are so popular and actors are giving a great performance? Because the director is the one pushing them to. Michael Bay was called "Hitler" by Megan Fox because he pushes his actors REALLY hard to give it their best. But every Transformer movie you see has had GOOD acting in it. Or at least I think so. So stop hating on Hayden for his portrayal of Anakin. He did the best he could with the little coaching and guidance that he had.
Well said thank you it annoys me so much leave the poor guy alone he did a brilliant job they aren't true fans if they do this

As Lucas said, the story is supposed to be based around Anakin. It feels like Disney is just trying to go for a cash grab and make episodes 7, 8, and 9 about Luke. I can’t believe they didn’t have Anakin appear in episode 9. What a disappointment. Star Wars isn’t independent anymore, and it shows in Disney’s cash grab films.
Well, even Luke played no big part. He was only in 1/3 really there
They weren't even about Luke, they were all about Rey. They simply disregarded every Skywalker and their legacy.

Olympic Egg The person means to say that the prequels were brilliant compared to the new trilogy. Most people, I included, would rather not have the new trilogy even be anywhere near the Star Wars franchise. Episode VI was the best finale... but Disney ruined it.

Hayden Christensen isn't the worst actor and George Lucas isn't the worst director. A person is remembered only for their greatest fault.
Christensen didn't even have any great faults in his acting. He did a phenomenal job, extremely masterful at conveying emotions. Honestly he was the one who made revenge of the sith a great movie. Anyone who jumps on the "he is a bad actor" bandwagon because of a few corny lines in AOTC is a shimpanzee following the crowd and unable to think for themselves.
Yamcha the wolf finally someone who gets it 👏 👏 👏

Really, you don't kno....ok, what happened is that he made the prequels. And some of the people who call themselves "fans", but just are really toxic, were badmouthing them, and sent George Lucas death threats. He couldn't deal with it, so he sold to Disney.

For all those people who claim Hayden Christensen can't act, please go and watch Shattered Glass or Life as a house and then say that again.
He's amazing in Life as a House.
Not gonna bother... all the oscars in the world for Hayden Christensen wouldn't make him good in the prequels.
Jesse Cole Hayden’s acting carried the trashy scripts
@@xxchipyxx257 lol, no.
Jesse Cole how so lmao
I love both of these guys
In a non homo way
You like george? sigh...
GustyPhoenix if you don't like Star Wars then why are you here
John Rust if you think i don't like star wars just because i said i don't like george lucas then why are you even commenting
well george created star wars and u hate george but u still like star wars?
wow you can hear the emotion in Haydens voice
George Lucas net worth : 10 zillion dollars.
Wears Target brand shoes.
(I love this man)
He deserves it.
"The story is about anakin." DAMN RIGHT!! If he isn't in rise of skywalker I will be mad!
@MiniKun-t thanks for spoiling the movie you tosser.
@MiniKun-t it's still a spoiler for people who have been waiting 2 years for this movie and hoping he's in the movie. Due to how shit the sequels have been I hoped he maybe in it. Then you with your little comment spoiled it. 😲
Well you don't see him per se... You hear him tho
@MiniKun-t not really, everyone that loves movies has to wait to see a movie their excited for.
Callum Smith don’t even watch the movie, it’s crap.
I'm a HUGE Hayden fan and his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker was flawless. He gave the character a personality, a life, he wasn't the dick that was Darth Vader but a real human being that lost control of his emotions which lead him to a bad place, aka the dark side. If that's not good acting, then I don't know what it.
I dont like sand.
No
asiandramarules Said no one ever.
asiandramarules
I agree! Favorite star wars character!
asiandramarules Yes, absolutely
Totally love Hayden as Anakin. Perfection and now he's back!
This interview is AMAZING. They couldn't have gotten a better person to play Anakin. Hayden is amazing. "The saga starts with Anakin and ends with Anakin."
Disney really fucked that one up huh
Hayden's acting when he's not being forced to vomit silly dialogue about sand is actually damn solid, if not better than that. The scene where his mom dies in his arms, or when he and Padme are staring out the windows at each others' buildings, wondering what's going to happen to them, among others, are pretty emotional and powerful.
Nothing wrong with the dialogue, though!
he did fine in the movies dude what do you smoke before you watch it
That’s what I’m saying he played the roll Anakin very well an emotional angry conflicted and confused man. I mean if course there was cheesy and strange dialogue but who cares honestly.
sand diatribe was spot on(f'ing sand!It really is irrit8ing💩!)
Hearing him talk here...you can tell his role as Anakin came natural to him. It's really cool.
"The saga is now finished..."
Disney: NOPE! LETS MAKE SOME MONAAAAAYYY!!!
jj will do much better youll see
Oh dont get me wrong... i want it to be good... but theres no denying that ROTJ was a fitting end to the story
Aldwinsanity yeah don't get me wrong im sure Disney wants to make more money but don't forget they did the avengers and advengers 2 and all the rest of the marvel movies it will be good trust me and jj is a much deeper writer and director look at star trek and he said he likes star wars better it should be good and im sure ppl are curious what happened after that whole situation idk I think they can make it good
Aldwinsanity Actually, since the original trilogy, Lucas has said many times he intended for there to be 9 films.
Jolly Monkey
When was that back 1968 with Gary Kurtz ?
Because all this time after Jedi George said flatly said that no 6 is the last
Love Hayden he’s so ridiculously handsome and George Lucas is an absolute genius.
“The saga is now finished” one of the worst aging quotes I’ve ever heard
oh shut up
Eric Jackson official channel what’s wrong with you? The sequels clearly contradicts this statement and if you’re too stupid to realize it then I’m not gonna explain any further
Unfortunately almost everything they say in this interview is a badly aged quote
@@Brianbravo2000 oh boy, you sure showed him
Lucas’ saga finished, the real story was finished at this point, disneys money grab of a sequel trilogy is irrelevant to the true star wars story
"The saga is now finished."
Well one thing we know for certain - George Lucas is terrible at predicting the future. :P
+James England Or rather he should have been honest "We made three more movies and they suck horribly. But, you'll like the fight scenes."
+James England well, he's not really that strong with the force, I guess
The dark side clouds everything...
Always in motion, the future is...
+Captain Brickhead prequels were fine, don't be that guy man
Put aside Matt Lanter, I can't see anyone else playing Anakin Skywalker.
BoT_Renegade I think Matt Lanter can’t play Anakin
Tristan Neal Not in live-action, but in voice-acting? He’s the only man for the job.
I can , jake lloyd
Matt has the deeper, more menacing voice, while Hayden puts emotion and realism into the character via more than just voice acting. Both are good in my book
Sam Witwer
How could anyone hate on this guy he's adorable and so fit
Over 7 years later, no word on Yoda’s species 😹
