    Hayden is shy, but really lights up talking about his daughter. ♥️

    Man his performance in episode 6 was of the hook and scary af at the same time

    I can't believe Hayden received so much hate for playing Anakin in the prequels. He is perfect for the role as Anakin/Darth Vader - I literally couldn't imagine Anakin being anyone else. You can see how much he truly loves Star Wars and now he's finally getting the love and appreciation he deserves.

    So glad someone finally mentioned natalie / padme, i really wish she was part of a flashback. But despite that it was still so epic and so glad he came back!

    • @Tonycillian5

      Still a chance if they get her for a Vader series. She can easily be used in flashbacks or nightmare sequences

    He's such a cool and down to earth guy, he didn't deserve the critics of 17 years ago, I always loved the prequels, mainly because of my age, of course if you watch a children's film in your 40's you won't appreciate it.

    • @Matt-uy8tw

      I was surprised. I never knew about the criticism. People are crazy, he did great as Anakin

    I’m with Hayden I would hope she comes back one day. Also he seems like a very nice and genuine guy.

  • @Tonycillian5
    @Tonycillian5 Před rokem +7

    He stole the show in this series. Hayden acting under good directors is a force to be reckoned with. Can't imagine how good it would be to see him act under a Fincher or Scorese he's so good

    I Really feel Hayden got too much undeserved hate for the prequels because of the silly dialogue, but nowadays we really appreciate the prequels, and Hayden deserves more respect. He really does care about the character, and i feel with episode 6 in particular he has redeemed himself.

    Happy to see you guys enjoyed it! I can't count how many times I've watched the movies (prequels included) so this was a personal thrill for me.

    • @pio4362
      @pio4362 Před 2 lety

      You should consider renaming this video to Hayden's thoughts on Natalie ever returning. I see another CZcamsr has pulled a clip on that question, and has almost 600K views. People seem interested in that, you were the first to ask.

    • @joshelliott7671
      @joshelliott7671 Před 2 lety

      ​@@pio4362 That's a good idea. I'll be writing a story about that next week to go along with the Thor premiere too ;)

    I kinda wish Hayden played a role where he isn't masked all the time and we can get more of him but it's better than nothing

    • @pio4362
      @pio4362 Před 2 lety +2

      Agreed. The amount of proper acting he has to do in this series is pretty limited, yet he's been front and centre of the promotion tour. Lucasfilm have do live-action Clone Wars, they could really utilise him there.

  • @hamaz6621

    Cool interview, Josh. Some great new questions toward the end, one gets tired of seeing the same ones rehashed over and over. You did your homework.

    if we get another series I want more of Qui Gonn, but specifically, Qui Gonn reminding Obi Wan that Anakin will bring balance to the force, as he always believed, and was/is true.

    • @zakquinn7319
      @zakquinn7319 Před 2 lety +4

      Ironic, I’ve loved his acting. It was the directing from George that made it off to some and more that I watched the movies. Never hated him.

    It would have been great to have had 4 hours screen time of Anakin and 5 minutes of Reva, rather than the other way around

  • @johnbertontong5556

    hayden wants to keep playing anakin. it's only fair, we get more young anakin flashbacks, maybe in ahsoka?

    • @Tonycillian5
      @Tonycillian5 Před rokem

      I just need Clone Wars flashbacks. Hayden has the perfect look at the moment for that timeline really shouldn't waste it.

    I want Hayden Christensen as Spider-Man Noir. Then, put Liu Yifei as Xina Kwan and Daisy Ridley as Spider-Man. Then, bridge it between Thor and the MCU Spider-Man.

    Such a good actor whos make or break moment was ruined by cringe dialogues

  • @eskanda3434
    @eskanda3434 Před 2 lety +3

    They fucked up. Obi-Wan isn't/was never supposed to be able to match and overcome Vader.
    Vader is still the chosen one and the only people who should match him are Sidious/Yoda level force users or people with the potential to be even greater, Luke/Leia level.
    Obi-wan should struggle against him, barely dodging and surviving Vader's furious attacks and MAYBE gain an advantage/opportunity to counter-attack if Vader gets too aggressive.
    Obi-Wan's defensive style was perfect against Anakin's offensive style, but Vader is just a different beast... Obi-Wan can't win...

    • @Dizzyj360
      @Dizzyj360 Před 2 lety +18

      He’s the chosen one in ROTS as well AND a certified better dueller lol it’s his emotions that make him lose, that’s the whole point and what they referenced heavily in the episode prior

    • @liamperfetto5011
      @liamperfetto5011 Před 2 lety +8

      He was angry and uncontrolled. He was sloppy during the fight. Obi wan sees that and uses it. Vader emotions in his downfall

    • @rubybee2180
      @rubybee2180 Před 2 lety +1

      Funny cause in another video other fans were arguing how Obi-wan should be so much more powerful against Obi-Wan and said Vader didn't really have a chance. Just proved how differently the fans interpret the lore and how hard it is to make everyone happy
      Which is fine you're entitled to your opinion, just stating an observation

    • @yuxing1512
      @yuxing1512 Před 2 lety +3

      Yes like the other comments said his emotion lost him this duel. Which is why he promised Palpatine afterwards that he will control his emotion when Palpatine doubted him, ultimately giving him the victory against Obi Wan in episode IV
