Hayden didn’t watch clone wars and Rebels to prepare for the kenobi show, it was for the ahsoka show, cause he’s got some mindblowingly emotional scenes with Ahsoka in that show, and now possibly in Dave’s movie too. For instance, somebody ask him “I’d love to see a what if scenario through the world between worlds of Ahsoka fighting Anakin on mustafar instead of Obi-Wan, what do you think about that, and how do you think that would play out?” Now watch him get nervous very quickly… :)
The sheer amount of power these 2 have over the crowd is insane. When Hayden said "This is where the fun begins" the fans were ready to go slaughter younglings for him 😂
Man I’m so happy for Hayden. He’s getting the treatment he probably thought he would never receive from the fans, and you can see how much he truly loves Star Wars
You can really tell how happy/relieved Hayden is for all the love he gets. They did him so bad all those years back and I'm glad the Fandom got to redeem themselves.
Hayden is actually starting to sound like his Clone Wars counterpart, Matt Lanter. While that's age making his voice deeper, I think it fits perfectly for Anakin.
Hayden and his performance is the actual template for Anakin. Matt did great, but he was only modeling Hayden’s performance and making necessary adjustments to adapt it to long-form animation. Matt is great, but Hayden is the real Anakin.
Which isn’t a good thing. Hayden does sound like his prequel self, and should continue to sound that way. Clone wars anakin completely changed his voice and ruined his character
Hayden’s “this is where the fun begins” was the best part of the whole interview. I cheered. Wow. That gave me chills. They were both phenomenal in Kenobi.
@@dnbm3 thats not true, I've seen so many UA-camrs who lambasted his portrayal. Its great that we all are happy to see him back now, but we cannot forget that these actors got put through the ringer, by critics and fans alike. time was gracious to them but its important we don't change history because it makes us uncomfortable.
@@kavalkahn Same feeling about EPII it was kind of cringe especially the part where he is trying wish his feelings away. But I think he made a great Anakin and aside from a few cringe moments, I honestly wouldn't want anyone to try and take his place.
Little did everyone in the crowd know, only a few weeks after this interview. These two would deliver one of the most iconic scenes in Star Wars history. "I am not your failure Obi Wan, you didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did"
I’m so happy for Hayden. He seems like such a genuinely nice person. It’s so unfortunately he was treated so poorly by critics and fans in the trilogy. He was so young and had no real experience. It was really wasn’t fair to give him such a hard time when it was the script and writing that really hurt those films. Looking back, he did an really good job, all things considered, especially in Revenge of the the Sith.
With the horrible script, dialogue, and terrible directing we would have needed Al Pacino in his prime to have had a chance pulling off Anakin. And it would have only been a chance.
Agreed on all counts. He was only doing his job. It does my heart so good to see him being celebrated as an actor and a person who brought Anakin to life (and Jake Lloyd did an amazing job as the youngest Anakin!)
As a writer myself I agree completely. The love story between Anakin and Padme was awful, totally unrealistic, not believable in the slightest and just looked fake as hell. Then there was the “I truly deeply love you” after they spend what, ten days together and Padme rebuffs his advances? Who does that?
But why, he's a fine actor don't get me wrong but for whatever reason (meaning wether it was George's awful directing or his own acting choices.) he did an awful job as Anakin, and now he gets to come back to play a character that isn't even his? James Earl Jones has proven time and time again that he can play Darth Vader, just have him do it.
@@marcelosantaana871 I believe it will mostly be flashbacks to him as anakin. He may be in the suit, with Jones voicing? Idk how it’s going to work. And there may be a moment where Vader is battle damaged, and possibly show some anakin under the helmet. Who knows.
@@marcelosantaana871 JEJ's voice is not what it used to be. He sounds so old in Rogue One. Also can we stop the Hayden hate? He played Anakin really well.
@@randylaw4503 I'm one of the few that has always loved the prequels the most. Not that I think the originals are as bad as the new Disney one's. I've turned to videogames for my fill now. Way better story telling than the Disney movies. About to pick up kotor2 to play that for the first time. We need a kotor 3, but I'm interested to see what star wars eclipse will look like. Would be awesome to see Hayden in that game, if it even takes place in a time where he'd exist.
Oh yeah you can see the social anxiety in him for sure, basically stage fright but only for crowds of people and he's the center of attention. I could only imagine the pressure, I hated doing ANYTHING related to presenting in front of the class back in school, all of school. But hey props to Hayden for keeping a good composure, Ewan sounded more nervous than Hayden if you ask me lol
I don’t think Hayden understands how much we love him and what a great job he really did with such a tough role to fill. Through the roof love and excitement for that man. Him and Ewan’s chemistry and conflict as brothers was absolutely unforgettable.
The part where Hayden says "this is where fun begins" then people bursting into cheers is literally the meme where the audience is watching on a giant screen
For those who want to know when is said happens at 5:31 The person just spew a fact since this is the reunion many only dreamed of. Now...THE REMATCH OF THE CENTURY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!
I found that cringey personally. Come on. They’re actors dude. Separate the art from the artist just a bit. I’m sure Hayden and Ewan are friendly, but brotherly? I doubt that. I believe Ewan has said he hadn’t barely seen Hayden at all in the past 20 years… so it’s not like they’re soulmates lol
I cried with Obi-Wan episode 6 and Im crying with this now,im so happy for Hayden finally getting the love and recognition he deserves. I hope he comes back in future projects (maybe some Anakin related show?).
No matter how many criticism Hayden got for his acting, I'm so happy that he's wants to return for the role and I love that Ewan is basically being a father figure towards him, making sure that he is safe and happy that the fans are absolutely welcomed by his return
I’m surprised to learn Ewan was the one who asked for Hayden to return for this series, I thought Ewan would’ve forgotten all about him after the Revenge Of The Sith premiere! So heartwarming to hear they’re as close as they were 20 years ago.
@@ytuser_3122 in my eyes, Hayden did his best with what the material he was given in the prequels. He didn't deserved the hate that he got for playing the role. As an actor, he was simply following what the script and the director told him to do. If you have seen Shattered Glass, you know that Hayden has the potential to be a good actor if the material and dialogue for his character was better. This is his moment, it's his comeback. And apparently Ewan is an executive producer of this series so I'm sure he has a big responsibility for the series too, offers what's the best of this series need. Hopefully Hollywood offers him more great scripts to work with, he deserves more great roles than just being in Star Wars
@@4deleDaz33m I have yet to see Shattered Glass and I agree with what you said about him having to work with the material he had, I’m so excited to see him give a good performance under Deborah Chow’s direction and with the material Disney+ has for him!
Respect to Hayden man, he knew there was a huge opportunity to erase the negative opinions while making the Vader role completely his own going forward, he didn't shy away which many people would have! He did not miss!
I love that actors like Hayden are making peace with the characters they have been, like Andrew Garfield with Spiderman and Hayden Christensen with Anakin Skywalker, It must be shoking recive so much love from the people after all the hate, but finally they have the fans they always deserved.
Especially Hayden. It almost looks like he wants to tear up at times when people are cheering for him. It’s been just shy of 20 years of him rarely feeling that love
I never understood why some people or "critics" didn't like at first, Hayden made a great Anakin, this is a character falling into the dark side an anti hero, maybe they wanted an hero... I bot big fan of prequels especailly episode I but Episode II & III are really interesting and Obiwan and Anakin are the reasons prequels are good even if not perfect.
Ewan and Hayden reuniting of the series is the real cure of depression, feels like a coolest high school reunion of all time. Seeing the true Star Wars fans just love so much for Hayden is the miracle blessing of him coming back and become much more scarier and badass as Darth vader 9:19 just the super sweetest of Hayden missing the fans 9:41 Hayden’s iconic line of “this is where the fun begins” melts every single childhood dreams to come true
I love how right before he says the line, Hayden looks at Ewan like, "Should I? Should I do it?" and Ewan just looks back at him like, "Do you know how many 'Hello theres' I've spoken since we started this press tour? It's your turn."
Do you love them unconditionally as a human being? Or do you only love him because of the character he played? If yes, that’s wrong for people to only love someone because of how good they played the character rather than unconditionally.
@@lukesiv146 Everyone’s going all, “We love Ewan and Hayden! We’ve been waiting years for them to come back. That’s our Obi-Wan & Anakin.” Is it that they love the actors only because of the characters they played or do they love them unconditionally as human beings?
When Hayden says “I missed you guys too” you can really see he means it and it honestly makes my heart happy. I loved the prequels and I was so hyped watching the first two episodes of this series. I feel as if my childhood had a hole and it was this show all along
@@cashewnuttel9054 generally for an event like this, they wouldn’t bring on the new character/actor that nobody has ever seen before on the screen. It’s all about the legacy of the original two, with it being 20yrs later in real life
I like how he had him ask the last bit of the question again just to make sure that line would fit as an answer. Unfortunately it appears it might have been scripted. If it wasn't though then that's some impressive wit. Fitting for his character.
@@neowolf09 No doubt it was scripted between the host and Hayden, considering Hayden's smile and the host's reaction, but Ewan looked genuine there so it was probably just between the host and Hayden
Oh my goodness, the smile on Hayden’s face when the crowd was cheering after being asked how hype they were! I’m so glad he’s finally being welcomed and given the love he has always deserved from fans!
And even if somebody still criticized his acting sure it's no problem to do that but put the fingers on George Lucas who gave him a very poor writing and direction to work with. Hayden did his best with what he was given in the prequels. As an actor himself, he was basically following what the script and the director told him to do. Hayden has the potential to be a good actor, he just need a better material to work with and hoping that this would be a great comeback for him to the point that Hollywood would offer him a lot of great scripts to work with
@@4deleDaz33m Anyone who truly thinks Hayden did poorly in those movies because he's a bad actor must also answer this question. Why did stars like Natalie Portman and Samuel L. Jackson also have weird stilted dialogue and bad takes? Because of the script and editing, not their acting.
This was 11 minutes of constant smiling, bringing back all those memories from childhood. Ewan hasn’t aged a bit, and Hayden looks such a genuine, friendly guy - would love to have a beer with him one day. Really looking forward to seeing them together on the screen again!
When Hayden said thank you to the fans he really felt embraced like never before! He probably been wanting this reaction for years and he got it! We really appreciate you Hayden! Best anakin/Vader ever!
Comparing a younger Hayden saying " This is where the fun begins" to now a much older Hayden saying it really brought this full circle. I love Star Wars.
This literally makes me feel like a child again. It’s so good to see Hayden get love. He played Anakin the way he was directed. And who doesn’t like Ewan!? Nostalgia
All those critics from 20 years ago are being awfully quiet 🙂 congratulations Hayden, youve deserved this for a long time. You finally showed us Darth Vader in his most terrifying form that everybody has anxiously wanted to see for almost 50 years now. May the force be with you 💙❤️💜
@@REaDComicsau yeah! Both original trilogy and prequel trilogy enjoyers should be able to discuss the 2 Star Wars trilogies. George Lucas‘s Saga is perfect
I’m happy to see Hayden being embraced by the fans considering all the hate he got when the prequels came out, it wasn’t his fault I think he was awesome casting but the direction and dialogue let the performance down
I love how when Hayden began to talk more his posture shifted towards Ewan significantly, it shows how much he was a mentor to him & how much what he says he considers not just a reflection of his own standing but their standing together as actors and friends.
"there is still good in him". this is not only for Anakin but this is also for Hayden. for me, this means people are now seeing how amazing and dedicated hayden was in his portrayal of anakin. he owned the character. he did his best and it took time for people to see that. but thankfully they did see the "good" in him. and now he deserves all the love he is getting as was anakin deserves to be redeemed.
@@MarcusDET why focus on that lmao he has been hated so much and being FINALLY recognized as a great actor by a younger generation must feel pretty nice
Hayden is the best. I'm so glad time has finally vindicated him and that he's getting the respect he's always deserved. Ewan is of course a king among men as well
Unlike Hayden, Ewan always seemed to have this undestructible strength in his personality. Seeing Hayden receiving so much appreciation now is just heartwarming. And in my opinion it's all more than deserved - Hayden's performance and the prequels in general were good! I'll always love Lucas' work.
Hayden was vilified by the press in the prequels but his performance was fantastic seeing how he was hampered by some lacklustre writing and a bland female love interest. I thought his performance was stellar 20 years ago and I am so glad he is being recognized now!
Thank You to all the fans that were there that day and showed Hayden all that love. I had tears in my eyes when they started to shout his name 🥺. He deserves all that love, honestly we were kids when the prequels came out and didn't have much of a voice. Now we do and we love the prequels. Please y'all do not let these so call fans turn you off from the show. The show is amazing, they literally just want to nit pick at everything. Y'all please let's not let those toxic fans get to Hayden again. He doesn't deserve it, he did amazing ❤
When Ewan said that the prequels were made for a different generation that didn’t have so much of a voice, I felt that. My self and countless others were that generation, I remember going to see all three episodes at the movies. I especially remember going to the midnight release of Episode III with my toy Anakin Skywalker lightsaber, the theater was absolutely packed! We had gotten there 1 hour early, just to get seats. I never even knew that Hayden received so much hate for his role as Anakin until about few years ago and it baffled me. To me and many others, he is Anakin, just as Ewan is Obi-Wan. I’m overjoyed that the duo is back together making Star Wars again
Yep, one of the first movies I saw in theaters was Phantom Menace. I still remember being blown away by the pod race scene and then when Obi cut Maul in half I gasped . Loved it.
I'm sad to say I think it was the original trilogy "fans" that loaded the hate onto him :-( That was my generation .... but I saw the prequels as an adult and loved them, I ignored all that stuff. I am very relieved to see that time is showing the love he deserves. I think he was a great Anakin.
It is heartwarming to see how Hayden is getting all the love he received as soon as he entered the room, it really makes me happy to see him being able to enjoy the fandom that grew up with his movies and the legacy he left behind as AnaKING Skywalker.
Hayden played Anakin so perfectly. I literally couldn’t imagine Anakin being anyone else. It’s so amazing to see him on stage and smiling. He’s finally getting g the love he deserved all along. As a fan you want to know that it matters as much to the actors as it does yourself and I think now that he is getting all the love in the world, he has taken to Star Wars more so than he ever has.
I know that he was a huge starwars fan since childhood and it meant a lot to him to become Vader way back then. I watched all the behind the scenes and him talking about that moment he walked on set as Vader for the first time and it broke his heart when he got all that hate after. So I am so happy for him now that he can enjoy it at last. ❤
To see the two of them walk out onto stage, Ewan in a classy brown and white attire and Hayden in a black suit, makes me think it was either planned or they have adopted the styles and become modernized versions of their characters. Truly wonderful either way
When Obi Wan said the prequels were made for a different generation it hit me. I watched the original trilogy in early grade school and got to watch all 3 prequels in the time between grade school and high school and I loved them. When I talk to people 10+ years older then me they were annoyed by the prequels and how "childish" they were but now I get it. I was just the right age at the right time.
I'm in a bit different of an age group than you but I've seen the same thing happen. Basically I started on the clone wars as my first introduction to star wars. I was in elementary and middle school as the show was coming out on Netflix, and finished the series before even watching A New Hope. So I started the series knowing vaguely who Darth Vader is and Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, etc, because I also played the different Lego star wars games. I watched the first 6 seasons of TCW over and over, countless times back in I'd say 2010-2014. All before even watching ANH. And back then people hated TCW, hated Ahsoka and hated the childish animation. Now people look back and realize TCW is kind of the glue that holds the prequels together, watching the prequels 3 in a row leaves a little to be desired because these time gaps are huge. But when you get the trio of Kenobi, Anakin, and Ahsoka for so many episodes it just makes sense that Anakin does what he does. It provides a huge backbone to their dynamic. I mean think about it, the prequels are about a week's glimpse into Anakin's life each movie, it's hard to be convinced he turned into Darth Vader in that amount of time.
The smile on Hayden's face when a man screamed, "we've missed you!" was so heartwarming. I'm glad that after all of these years, he is finally seeing how appreciated and loved he is in the Star Wars fandom.
I genuinely cried watching episode 5 , thank you guys for coming back. My country is having a really tough time and star wars is one of the few things that makes me happy right now.
@@ZiddersRooFurry Yeah people have too high expectations for a company like Disney. Just need to be glad we're at least getting something at all even if 3/4 is trash I will take the 1/4 good.
Hayden just oozes charisma, I'm so glad to see him reprise his role. He deserves all the attention that will come to him from this series, we need to see more of him
Hayden did an amazing role as anikan. He really brought the conflict anikan had to life. He was born to be Darth Vader. Great job Hayden you are a legend!!
I can only imagine how this feels for them. To have the prequels hated for so long, and then more than 20 years later they can finally come back and have a huge crowd of people cheering for them. Especially Hayden, he got so much hate for his portrayal of Anakin, I'm glad he's finally getting the love and recognition he deserves
@@camiloaaron3993 of course, but at that time they were too young to have their opinions fully voiced. that's why the prequels are actually loved now cuz we've all grown up
@@camiloaaron3993 Not all of us old trilogy fans hated them. I grew up on the originals and was in my 20's when the prequels came out. I can't express the excitement and anticipation my friends and I had for that period of time waiting for Episode 1, and none of us were disappointed.
Hayden is a true representation of why never to give a flying piece of carcass what critics think. In the end, the world unfolds as it should. He was criticised back in 2005 and now look at him. The prequels were amazing. I absolutely love his adaptation of Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. There is no other actor I can imagine replacing him.
I noticed they stepped up their sword play. Tons better than it was before. This was an epic series. Every episode had me at edge of seat. I never had a problem with Hayden at all but I know he did get raked over the coals before. Glad he’s getting the love now. I was not ready for the menace that emanates from him on screen. Didn’t think he could exude that based on his body type but he brought it! Loved ❤️ that they brought back jej to voice Vader and there is a scene that was sooooo good and unexpected and nicely done relative to the voice. I Won’t spoil but you’ll know it when you see it. 😆
Ewan, "Those movies came out in 2003, and all the fans were young." I beg your pardon, Sir! I just started High School in 1977 when the original trilogy came out! hahaha
"I missed you guys too"... what a class act! So stoked to see Hayden return to the franchise, and super happy for him as he seems genuinely grateful and excited.
Ewan always got love from people. Some prequels haters would still admit "Ewans performance was the best thing in this trilogy" But Hayden was done dirty by critics so its great seeing the love he's getting now
"This is where the fun begins." sent chills down my spine and a smile on my face. grew up with the prequels and i am now 26 years old. cant believe this is coming out tomorrow
The fact that the entire crowd urrupeted when hayden said that is the reason i love this franchise some much. Im glad he is finally getting the love he deserves.
That one interview where they asked them questions about stuff like “do you like pineapple on pizza” and had them choose sides was really a breath of fresh air
I'm staring at Hayden, and his face says it all, he loves the support, he loves his fans, and he loves star wars, it looked like he was in awe the whole time, I hope he didn't feel like we forgot about him
Well think this Way, most of those fans were kids when he acted, they grew up on his character. While all people that attacked him and harrassed are nearly all gone, it must be nice to know even after all the pain that happened, he did make people's childhoods better, he did leave a positive impact, it was worth it.
I adore hayden, he deserves all the love for his work in this franchise, people in the past treated him wrong and i'm SO happy to see him getting the respect and love he deserves ;_;
Hayden almost started a riot when he said “This is where the fun begins”. Love it so much
He has embraced the memes, and I am glad he enjoys the animated series now too
the interviewer goes crazy aswell! awesome!
his little smirk before he said it cause he knew the crowd was gonna lose it
His powers has doubled since the last time we saw him
spoiler alert!. I'm not up to that part yet
I like how Ewan is wearing Jedi colors and Hayden is wearing Sith colors. Nice touch.
That’s what I was thinking too, kinda like their episode 3 color palettes
But Anakin always wears black dress or robe when he was Jedi. You can see in SW Episode 2 and 3 and SW Clone Wars
Nice catch never noticed that.
There's a stylist that's done their homework.

It was really wasn’t fair to give him such a hard time when it was the script and writing that really hurt those films. Looking back, he did an really good job, all things considered, especially in Revenge of the the Sith.

Agreed on all counts. He was only doing his job. It does my heart so good to see him being celebrated as an actor and a person who brought Anakin to life (and Jake Lloyd did an amazing job as the youngest Anakin!)
As a writer myself I agree completely. The love story between Anakin and Padme was awful, totally unrealistic, not believable in the slightest and just looked fake as hell. Then there was the “I truly deeply love you” after they spend what, ten days together and Padme rebuffs his advances? Who does that?

We need a kotor 3, but I'm interested to see what star wars eclipse will look like. Would be awesome to see Hayden in that game, if it even takes place in a time where he'd exist.
Oh yeah you can see the social anxiety in him for sure, basically stage fright but only for crowds of people and he's the center of attention. I could only imagine the pressure, I hated doing ANYTHING related to presenting in front of the class back in school, all of school. But hey props to Hayden for keeping a good composure, Ewan sounded more nervous than Hayden if you ask me lol
There are few Sand people in the crowd I guess
@@neowolf09 have you tried fallen order
how tf is hayden still this good looking, its been like 20 years
I don’t think Hayden understands how much we love him and what a great job he really did with such a tough role to fill. Through the roof love and excitement for that man. Him and Ewan’s chemistry and conflict as brothers was absolutely unforgettable.
The part where Hayden says "this is where fun begins" then people bursting into cheers is literally the meme where the audience is watching on a giant screen
That should become a meme
bruh even I jumped outta my seat
Legend forever
Made me squeal not gonna lie lmao
Memes upon memes
“You’re like brothers!”
Hayden: “Yes, yes we are”
God bless that fan! ☺️
For those who want to know when is said happens at 5:31
The person just spew a fact since this is the reunion many only dreamed of. Now...THE REMATCH OF THE CENTURY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!
“You were my brother Anakin….I loved you!”
So that's what he said, awwwwww~
I found that cringey personally. Come on. They’re actors dude. Separate the art from the artist just a bit. I’m sure Hayden and Ewan are friendly, but brotherly? I doubt that. I believe Ewan has said he hadn’t barely seen Hayden at all in the past 20 years… so it’s not like they’re soulmates lol
when this guy was talking about transition to vader from anakin I wanted someone to say
"You were supposed to destroy the sith, not join them!"
Honestly my childhood heroes still
"You're my brother anakin i love you"
"!Uh i hate you!"
Thats what im saying ..
I cried with Obi-Wan episode 6 and Im crying with this now,im so happy for Hayden finally getting the love and recognition he deserves. I hope he comes back in future projects (maybe some Anakin related show?).
yes yess
They are both already confirmed to come back on other shows would be pretty sick to see an anakin show tho doing Jedi missions before the clone wars
Me too! Just watched E6 couldn't stop tearing up. That girl who played Leia is so precious.
@@buster4935 Nah I need a clone wars live action show. Especially since Hayden and Ewan’s age is best suited and will fit it

grow up
The fun which he mentioned is that.. I'm pretty sure there will be more memes XDDDDD. I'm so hype for this!!!!
George Lucas, "See, I knew my dialogue was good!"
No matter how many criticism Hayden got for his acting, I'm so happy that he's wants to return for the role and I love that Ewan is basically being a father figure towards him, making sure that he is safe and happy that the fans are absolutely welcomed by his return
I’m surprised to learn Ewan was the one who asked for Hayden to return for this series, I thought Ewan would’ve forgotten all about him after the Revenge Of The Sith premiere! So heartwarming to hear they’re as close as they were 20 years ago.
@@ytuser_3122 in my eyes, Hayden did his best with what the material he was given in the prequels. He didn't deserved the hate that he got for playing the role. As an actor, he was simply following what the script and the director told him to do. If you have seen Shattered Glass, you know that Hayden has the potential to be a good actor if the material and dialogue for his character was better. This is his moment, it's his comeback. And apparently Ewan is an executive producer of this series so I'm sure he has a big responsibility for the series too, offers what's the best of this series need. Hopefully Hollywood offers him more great scripts to work with, he deserves more great roles than just being in Star Wars
@@4deleDaz33m I have yet to see Shattered Glass and I agree with what you said about him having to work with the material he had, I’m so excited to see him give a good performance under Deborah Chow’s direction and with the material Disney+ has for him!
Hayden Christensen IS Anakin Skywalker
@@crab6503 Completely agree!!
9:37 I love how Hayden looks at Ewan with a smile, like "watch this bud, this is gonna be awesome" So cool
Completely agree xD almost like he was making the joke for Ewan and himself as much as for the fans. 🥲
Respect to Hayden man, he knew there was a huge opportunity to erase the negative opinions while making the Vader role completely his own going forward, he didn't shy away which many people would have! He did not miss!
I love that actors like Hayden are making peace with the characters they have been, like Andrew Garfield with Spiderman and Hayden Christensen with Anakin Skywalker, It must be shoking recive so much love from the people after all the hate, but finally they have the fans they always deserved.
Especially Hayden. It almost looks like he wants to tear up at times when people are cheering for him. It’s been just shy of 20 years of him rarely feeling that love
Uh huh
It’s that Disney effect.
Andrew Garfield was a great Spider-Man. Sad people think differently. I really liked his movies.
I never understood why some people or "critics" didn't like at first, Hayden made a great Anakin, this is a character falling into the dark side an anti hero, maybe they wanted an hero... I bot big fan of prequels especailly episode I but Episode II & III are really interesting and Obiwan and Anakin are the reasons prequels are good even if not perfect.
Seeing Hayden and Ewan makes me smile as our childhoods are coming in full circle!!
now te circle is complete
I can not wait holy😂😂
I just remember my 10 year old self in that cabin in northern Maine finding revenge of the sith and watching it for the first time
This will be my 3rd time around since 1977
Seeing the prequels was my childhood coming full circle, so this is really cool.
I’m so happy Hayden is getting the love he deserves
Ewan and Hayden reuniting of the series is the real cure of depression, feels like a coolest high school reunion of all time. Seeing the true Star Wars fans just love so much for Hayden is the miracle blessing of him coming back and become much more scarier and badass as Darth vader
9:19 just the super sweetest of Hayden missing the fans
9:41 Hayden’s iconic line of “this is where the fun begins” melts every single childhood dreams to come true
reuniting with Ishraq Talukder arab mom in bed is the real cure of depression, we even banged at high school, what a badass blessing
I love how right before he says the line, Hayden looks at Ewan like, "Should I? Should I do it?" and Ewan just looks back at him like, "Do you know how many 'Hello theres' I've spoken since we started this press tour? It's your turn."
This is Canon now.

@@rootpower8664 Right and the whole point of these interviews is to generate a lot of hype for the show.

9:38 is such an iconic moment. You can see that hes had that planned and the smile just before he delivered the line.
I like how he had him ask the last bit of the question again just to make sure that line would fit as an answer. Unfortunately it appears it might have been scripted. If it wasn't though then that's some impressive wit. Fitting for his character.
@@neowolf09 No doubt it was scripted between the host and Hayden, considering Hayden's smile and the host's reaction, but Ewan looked genuine there so it was probably just between the host and Hayden

Oh my goodness, the smile on Hayden’s face when the crowd was cheering after being asked how hype they were! I’m so glad he’s finally being welcomed and given the love he has always deserved from fans!
Facts
And even if somebody still criticized his acting sure it's no problem to do that but put the fingers on George Lucas who gave him a very poor writing and direction to work with. Hayden did his best with what he was given in the prequels. As an actor himself, he was basically following what the script and the director told him to do. Hayden has the potential to be a good actor, he just need a better material to work with and hoping that this would be a great comeback for him to the point that Hollywood would offer him a lot of great scripts to work with
@@4deleDaz33m Anyone who truly thinks Hayden did poorly in those movies because he's a bad actor must also answer this question. Why did stars like Natalie Portman and Samuel L. Jackson also have weird stilted dialogue and bad takes? Because of the script and editing, not their acting.
I love Haden bro he is the best
Always loved him as anakin and always will
This was 11 minutes of constant smiling, bringing back all those memories from childhood. Ewan hasn’t aged a bit, and Hayden looks such a genuine, friendly guy - would love to have a beer with him one day. Really looking forward to seeing them together on the screen again!

When Hayden said thank you to the fans he really felt embraced like never before! He probably been wanting this reaction for years and he got it! We really appreciate you Hayden! Best anakin/Vader ever!
I absolutely love the fact that they're wearing suits which resemble Obi-Wan and Anakin's Jedi robes respectfully, nice touch
Comparing a younger Hayden saying " This is where the fun begins" to now a much older Hayden saying it really brought this full circle. I love Star Wars.
He sounds a little bit like Clone Wars Anakin now. I wonder if he always sounded like that back then.
He sounds like clone wars Ani now a bit
He just sounds Canadian to me

YESSSSSSS!
Hearing Hayden embrace the fan community with that final line and seeing them cheer made me grin from ear to ear. So glad he’s back!
I’m happy to see Hayden being embraced by the fans considering all the hate he got when the prequels came out, it wasn’t his fault I think he was awesome casting but the direction and dialogue let the performance down
I love how when Hayden began to talk more his posture shifted towards Ewan significantly, it shows how much he was a mentor to him & how much what he says he considers not just a reflection of his own standing but their standing together as actors and friends.
"there is still good in him". this is not only for Anakin but this is also for Hayden. for me, this means people are now seeing how amazing and dedicated hayden was in his portrayal of anakin. he owned the character. he did his best and it took time for people to see that. but thankfully they did see the "good" in him. and now he deserves all the love he is getting as was anakin deserves to be redeemed.
Yes, the "this is where the fun begins" part was epic, but I loved "I missed you guys too". It melted my heart. You guys deserve all this and more ♥️
The fun for his wallet is why he’s so happy.
@@MarcusDET why focus on that lmao he has been hated so much and being FINALLY recognized as a great actor by a younger generation must feel pretty nice
@@micagrecco8286 Yeah he was always a good actor. He put a lot of passion into the prequels, but there is only so much he could do with that script.
@@jokerman9295 absolutely
And the moment that followed 9:55 with Ewan and Haydens bromance is the best!
Hayden is the best. I'm so glad time has finally vindicated him and that he's getting the respect he's always deserved. Ewan is of course a king among men as well
Unlike Hayden, Ewan always seemed to have this undestructible strength in his personality. Seeing Hayden receiving so much appreciation now is just heartwarming.
And in my opinion it's all more than deserved - Hayden's performance and the prequels in general were good! I'll always love Lucas' work.
I can't stop smiling during this whole video. I feel like I'm a child again seeing these two together.
Hayden is awesome
Hayden was vilified by the press in the prequels but his performance was fantastic seeing how he was hampered by some lacklustre writing and a bland female love interest. I thought his performance was stellar 20 years ago and I am so glad he is being recognized now!
I liked the prequels at the time, and I like them now. What came after is an entirely different topic.
Thank You to all the fans that were there that day and showed Hayden all that love. I had tears in my eyes when they started to shout his name 🥺. He deserves all that love, honestly we were kids when the prequels came out and didn't have much of a voice. Now we do and we love the prequels. Please y'all do not let these so call fans turn you off from the show. The show is amazing, they literally just want to nit pick at everything. Y'all please let's not let those toxic fans get to Hayden again. He doesn't deserve it, he did amazing ❤
Hayden is such a rockstar. He knew that line was gonna make the place implode!
I love how 90% of this video is the crowd cheering and yelling such amazing things to these two legends.
Yes, and I love it
Is there coming new Star Wars where is Anakin and Obi-Wan again?
When Ewan said that the prequels were made for a different generation that didn’t have so much of a voice, I felt that. My self and countless others were that generation, I remember going to see all three episodes at the movies. I especially remember going to the midnight release of Episode III with my toy Anakin Skywalker lightsaber, the theater was absolutely packed! We had gotten there 1 hour early, just to get seats. I never even knew that Hayden received so much hate for his role as Anakin until about few years ago and it baffled me. To me and many others, he is Anakin, just as Ewan is Obi-Wan. I’m overjoyed that the duo is back together making Star Wars again
Yep, one of the first movies I saw in theaters was Phantom Menace. I still remember being blown away by the pod race scene and then when Obi cut Maul in half I gasped . Loved it.
I'm sad to say I think it was the original trilogy "fans" that loaded the hate onto him :-( That was my generation .... but I saw the prequels as an adult and loved them, I ignored all that stuff. I am very relieved to see that time is showing the love he deserves. I think he was a great Anakin.
I was born in 72 and the prelogy is my favorite trilogy. I became a fan with the prelogy. I am fan since only few years. but i really love
I was the exact same age as Anakin was in Episode 1 when it came out.
These films defined my childhood
ngl, i actually enjoyed the prequels. i didnt understand the hate about it. i also enjoy the sequels of it. Ray trilogy is mix bag.
EPISODE 3 HAS BEEN THE BEST STAR WARS FILM TO DATE. Thank you Hayden and Ewan especially!!!!!!
It's so good to see Hayden back
It is heartwarming to see how Hayden is getting all the love he received as soon as he entered the room, it really makes me happy to see him being able to enjoy the fandom that grew up with his movies and the legacy he left behind as AnaKING Skywalker.
It's because he is star wars anakin is star wars vader is so hayden was an important part of it
He never deserved the hate he got he did really well in rots
@@aamirrazak3467 Not just rots, he was great in Attack of the Clones also, which is by far the most underrated prequel movie.
Hayden played Anakin so perfectly. I literally couldn’t imagine Anakin being anyone else. It’s so amazing to see him on stage and smiling. He’s finally getting g the love he deserved all along. As a fan you want to know that it matters as much to the actors as it does yourself and I think now that he is getting all the love in the world, he has taken to Star Wars more so than he ever has.
Thissssss
Hayden was awesome as Anakin. The scenes that were well written he was amazing.
probably not what you said 17 years ago.
I know that he was a huge starwars fan since childhood and it meant a lot to him to become Vader way back then. I watched all the behind the scenes and him talking about that moment he walked on set as Vader for the first time and it broke his heart when he got all that hate after. So I am so happy for him now that he can enjoy it at last. ❤
I could imagine plenty of people to play him. Hayden is good dude though
To see the two of them walk out onto stage, Ewan in a classy brown and white attire and Hayden in a black suit, makes me think it was either planned or they have adopted the styles and become modernized versions of their characters. Truly wonderful either way
When Obi Wan said the prequels were made for a different generation it hit me. I watched the original trilogy in early grade school and got to watch all 3 prequels in the time between grade school and high school and I loved them. When I talk to people 10+ years older then me they were annoyed by the prequels and how "childish" they were but now I get it. I was just the right age at the right time.
I'm in a bit different of an age group than you but I've seen the same thing happen. Basically I started on the clone wars as my first introduction to star wars. I was in elementary and middle school as the show was coming out on Netflix, and finished the series before even watching A New Hope.
So I started the series knowing vaguely who Darth Vader is and Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, etc, because I also played the different Lego star wars games. I watched the first 6 seasons of TCW over and over, countless times back in I'd say 2010-2014. All before even watching ANH. And back then people hated TCW, hated Ahsoka and hated the childish animation. Now people look back and realize TCW is kind of the glue that holds the prequels together, watching the prequels 3 in a row leaves a little to be desired because these time gaps are huge. But when you get the trio of Kenobi, Anakin, and Ahsoka for so many episodes it just makes sense that Anakin does what he does. It provides a huge backbone to their dynamic. I mean think about it, the prequels are about a week's glimpse into Anakin's life each movie, it's hard to be convinced he turned into Darth Vader in that amount of time.
This was a great interview with them, “this is where the fun begins”
You already know it baby
The smile on Hayden's face when a man screamed, "we've missed you!" was so heartwarming. I'm glad that after all of these years, he is finally seeing how appreciated and loved he is in the Star Wars fandom.

Hayden is a true representation of why never to give a flying piece of carcass what critics think. In the end, the world unfolds as it should. He was criticised back in 2005 and now look at him. The prequels were amazing. I absolutely love his adaptation of Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. There is no other actor I can imagine replacing him.
I noticed they stepped up their sword play. Tons better than it was before. This was an epic series. Every episode had me at edge of seat. I never had a problem with Hayden at all but I know he did get raked over the coals before. Glad he’s getting the love now. I was not ready for the menace that emanates from him on screen. Didn’t think he could exude that based on his body type but he brought it! Loved ❤️ that they brought back jej to voice Vader and there is a scene that was sooooo good and unexpected and nicely done relative to the voice. I Won’t spoil but you’ll know it when you see it. 😆
