I cant imagine anyone else playing Anakin. Hayden is literally embedded in peoples head forever.
If George Lucas doesn't get Hayden Christensen back and put him in a new *Star Wars Story* film. Im gonna take Hayden away from him & use him as Doctor Doom for The MCU.
@@Leodog92 George Lucas sold everything to Disney. He doesn't have the indepedence that he said he had in this video.
I AM THE 69’TH LIKE
The little kid who played...little Annie...he got Heath Ledgered for life man. It's sad.
Howard Lam actually from what I read he wants to get it back
George Lucas: “the saga is done. It was a story about anakin.”
Disney: “nah fam”
They're proceeding to fuck it up even more
Actually turned out really good! 9 fixed the trilogy enough for me to enjoy it.
@@hotfroganimations wait really?
@@jesanielbharmal5916 yup, don't believe everything youtubey people tell you! I went with my brother and my dad, long time star wars fans, It didn't feel like fan service at all. My only issue is it wasn't an hour longer!
@@hotfroganimations i just hope they tie in the Chosen one somehow
look at us all now...trying to relive the glory days of the prequels
Becoming Smith now we’re the sequel haters. Oh how the turned have table
People will look back on the sequels the same way we look at the prequels, just give it some time.
@@UNPOCOLOCO444 yes that's true, but they will be wrong.
fullyloaded one people realised that the prequels were good, the sequels aren’t very good I’m sorry
@@UNPOCOLOCO444 With everything coming out recently i don't think so. The biggest Problem with the prequals was the dialog and the people that didn't tell lucas when they thought an idea of his was bad. This new Trillogy basicly has no structure or silver lining. It has no charm, no heart. JJ never got the amount of controll he needed (In episode 9 next to none) and Rian Johnson got way to much.
They ruin alot of the old trillogy and don't really add to the saga at all. There's just too much wrong with it, while the prequals had bad dialog that you could (for me at least) easily accept and overlook. TLDR: The Story was good. The new ones isn't. That's why people are slowly accepting the mistakes George made back then and won't when it comes to the new films.
Sorry for all the spelling errors, i'm german and don't write in english that often anymore.
Hayden’s voice when he’s not acting sounds like Anakin from the clone wars 😂
Doesn’t he voice anakin in the clone wars
Surprisingly not
@@UluvNacho nah. the voice actor from the clone wars deserves props tho. he returned to voice vader for a few lines in Rebels when Ashoka faught vader and that was lit.
I can’t wait for season 5 of the clone wars
@@UluvNacho Matt Lanter voices Anakin in the Clone Wars
I don't care what anyone says, I loved Hayden as Anakin in the prequels, especially Episode III.
same :)
Roa Ciel eh
Roa Ciel
Yes, same here!
M8 you made me think your profile picture was my eyelash on the tablet screen
True dash bro he was great george lucas ruined his character making it immature and whiny george lucas is to be blame for that
“The saga starts with Anakin and ends with Anakin.”
...
Jip
Aaaa Dont be to sure about that
He's right.
The Disney crap I see as nothing bu independent material that has nothing to do with the original saga. I think that's why George was able to part with it -- Star Wars was about Anakin. He was done.
Post sequel story staring Hayden Christensen as ghost Anakin confirmed?
*Disney looming in the background*
George Lucas : It's all about Anakin
Disney :
It's all about Money
No it’s all about being woke and virtue signaling. And money
star wars was always about money and especially toys
Adamo Conscientia According to who? You? lol
@@Flugel23 wokeness is a pathway to many monies some considered to be unnatural
UNNATURAL MONIES🤑
The first 6 movies were all about anakin falling and then redeeming himself by killing palpatine, now they bring back palpatine and give Vader’s sacrifice no purpose at all
Legends kinda did the same thing with Dark Empire.
Then again, Legends is nowhere near perfect, but it's better than Disney's sequels.
@@superkamiguru6856 lmao what do comic books have to do with movies
I mean he did still save his son as well as redeem himself because he was seen as a force ghost
R3B The Legends Universe was the true continuation of the Star Wars Universe.
Yeah I thought I killed that guy
poor guys. they dont deserve the crap people give them
the jyms still, id focus on the love. The movies series are well known and a big highly rated. Hate comes along as opposition
Dustin Derpy balance
George Lucas most CERTAINLY does, Hayden does not by any means. He played the character perfectly.
@SpiritWolf2K Dude stfu every star wars movie is amazing other than The Last Jedi... grow up.
@Emperor Palpatine stfu you fucking baby fanboy bitch your username is emperor palpatine
Hayden doesn’t carry himself like a 2019 egotistical actor. He hasn’t turned to the dark side of Hollywood.
summacruzlaude i mean like the dark side of Hollywood is objectively better
Ok DARTH campy stuff
@@arajczewski9253 it leads to narcissism many consider to be unnatural
@@dutchvanderlinde465 lolol
@Leewilldofine lmao
“the saga is now finished. it starts with anakin as an 8 year old, ends when anakin dies. it’s really about anakin.”
huh what was that disney?????
but no let’s take anakin out of the newest movie cause it’s all about the new characters
Anakin is 9 in Phantom.
@@MrParkerman6 it was not anakin himself,it was all the jedi together but they couldn't represent that so they put the most famous ones
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Hayden Christensen seems like a very sweet guy
Yes, he does come across as being a sweet guy. A good-hearted young man. Deserves much better treatment for his acting.
Whenever the camera pans on him I just can't help but smile...
He really does, it’s very refreshing
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.
In love the prequels I don't care what anyone says.
me too
Me three
+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.
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.
The hardest ljghtsaber duel
@@Dustyholes I'm sure he does still feel bad about his imagination being watered down
@@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.
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
I want a Vader spin-off with Hayden Christensen
I want a twi'lek movie.
I want a Gonk Droid trilogy
Crimson Skull that’s what we all want, and need
Vader - Dark Lord of the Sith rated-R
Who Cares he’ll yeah
George-"The saga is over"
Disney- "Yeah right. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$".
+Christian Garcia Well, it's over for George anyway..
+Christian Garcia it was done when Return of the Jedi was made
Metro-Police I love you too
+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.
Luke Auster And look what happen to those Pirates Of The Caribbean sequels.
I'm so jealous of Hayden. He can say "I'm Anakin Skywalker *and* Darth Vader." without someone saying "Sure you are...". Jealousy mod at maximum.😭
Tobito TV Dude, you're so right. Never thought of it that way before. Still wish he wasn't in RotJ tho.
He can also say he slaughtered a fuck ton of kids.
My actual name is Chris Anakin
No one is jealous of Anakin Skywalker. Both versions of Anakin were nails on a chalkboard annoying.
KnickKnack07 just because you didn’t like the character doesn’t mean they were annoying .. that’s your own opinion that is definitely in the minority
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.
George: I know

@@thomasrizzi1603 LMAOOOOOOOO SAME
God you're such a dork
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 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
+Annabel Lee Same
+Annabel Lee same
+Annabel Lee Bro you just said the truth
+OffTheBox What he said was subjective, not the *truth*. Though I do _agree_ with him.
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
I don’t care what anyone says, Hayden killed it with the role of turning Anakin into Darth Vader.
yes he did, i can’t see anyone else play him
Tatsujiro Kurogane no he wasn’t you dumbass and no one asked for ur shitty opinion
Boomers: nO, hE's tErRibLe, hE aCtS LiKe a wHiNy tEeNaGeR

Agreed
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!
@@baldhead7759 i'm glad he's getting the life he deserves
They didn't.
It wasnt "the neckbeards" that fucked over his career lmao, it was the media
@@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.
Poor Hayden Christensen, he gets such a shitty wrap. I like the guy, I liked him in the prequels and I hope he shows up in the sequels.
There is a Rumor which sais he will be there in Star Wars Episode 8 ^^

"The saga is now over?"
Messa no thinksa....
+Christoph Wilhelm he had 12 episodes in mind right?
okay
Okay is right
+John Langerhan RFOL good one.
+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"
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.
Hayden was the ONLY actor that could do this role..and he nailed it. Love this guy, he's great and I'd love to see more of him
Nah, Leo DiCaprio or Jonathan Brandis could have done a great job, too.
MrParkerman6 nah Hayden is the only anakin
Jake Lloyd
@@MrParkerman6 Yeah but not to the level of Hayden.
@@MrParkerman6 Maybe, but Lucas was looking for an unknown actor to play the role.
Revenge of the Sith was the best, honestly it was perfection
"Noooooo!"
galaxyedits arguably the greatest masterpiece in cinematic history
I agree. And quite honestly, episode 2 was just as good!
except for the line about having the high ground
Hikaru Ringdal u fuckin kidding
I love how both Hayden and George genuinely enjoy each other’s company and conversing with one another.
Mallory Blackstar, yes.
it’s just poetic
@@iloveanimals5502 yes, it rhymes
Who is here after Hayden apearance in Ashoka? Love that Hayden is receiving the love he always deserved.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I could literally listen to these two talk about Star Wars forever.
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. 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.
+mawriz Yeah, it's like all the good actors United for a great and super movie series
+Popo Sandybanks so true about Ewan McGregor
Popo Sandybanks Ewan McGregor was brilliant.
I don't care what anyone says Episode 3 is the greatest Star Wars movie ever.
I think this móvies have something... Now episodes 7,8,9 are so bad..
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
The Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith both ended up becoming the Star Wars movies people had been hoping for and waiting to see.
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!
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
Hayden’s voice is soothing tbh
No homo
ugh it’s like silk
It's soft and smooth and soothing and gives you good vibes everywhere.
@Leewilldofine hahaha
@Leewilldofine I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
13:38 “the story is really about anakin” SAY THAT TO THE NEW TRILOGY
New trilogy was and will always be...disappointment.
TheInfinityLion especially with the Frankenstein’s monster of a movie they just released
Andres Villanueva its not canon for me lol
Ugh friggin Rey
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
Oh my god Hayden is so well-spoken I could listen to him for centuries
CZcams Algorithm: "IT'S TIME."
St. Duncan the Blessed YES

EXECUTE RECOMMENDATION 66
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.
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
+Luke Auster you lost me after Transformers.
+Álvaro José Flórez Muñoz Fair enough!
transformers has good acting is like saying star war prequels were better
+Mahfuz Sheikh The first two Transformers films were shit. The other two are much better! =P
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
george talks to and speaks of hayden like he’s literally anakin. ah i love them so much.
"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.
True
We all made fun of George and the prequel trilogy. This is the price we must now pay. We wrought this upon ourselves.
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.
hayden saying "i see" is just hot.
basically everything hayden does is hot. 1:07
Eve Lyn especially when he stutters
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.
Hayden is so god damn attractive
brianna brady bardot ?
Yesss
I think it makes him look kinda immature. IMO they should have aged him somewhat for the force ghost.
@@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
@@shane6450 The last moments that he was in the light side was when he died lol.
Hayden needs to make more movies
Never
+valerie robles Fuck off. he is great. we need to see him.
+valerie robles GO FUCK YOURSELF
+valerie robles she dies
+Star Wars ok
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
He already told the story he wanted to tell, and he finally got to tell it in its entirety. Why shouldn't he sell it?
Best comment
Epic Gamer You just answered your own question.
@@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
he also hated the bullying he got for the prequels..to be honest bullying someone over a movie is fuckin pathetic.
Who else is in love with Hayden Christensen?
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
Yup

-with bad directing
-and TERRIBLE DIALOGUE
He was doomed from the start. If anything it proves that he is a good actor considering he was able to give Anakin any emotion at all; even if it was wooden at times.
Padme was a new character, Natalie Portman had nothing to live up to. Her acting is just as bad in many scenes but people give her a pass because she has an Oscar now. But like I said, Hayden Christensen had everything going against him. I really hope the sequel trilogy brings him back so he can get some redemption.
+Mallika Banerjee
I don't agree with you. All the other actors were up against the same odds and they did just fine. Hayden isn't an actor.
+Mallika Banerjee agreed. He's actually quite a strong actor.
+Heaven is a dirt nap You haven't seen his other movies then...
***** Hmmm
Let me see I have seen the ones I could stomach. Life as a House - sucked. Shattered Glass - he sucked. That movie he just did with Adrian Brodie - he sucked.
Anything else???
+Heaven is a dirt nap
"All the other actors"?The only other character that had the same importance in the
prequels as the originals was Qbi Wan/Ewan McGregor. McGregor was a full decade older than Christensen, had more acting experience, and appeared in a Phantom Menace so had some familiarly with the Star Wars universe before Attack of the Clones.
The role of Obi Wan doesn’t involve forced romantic scenes with dialogue about sand, CG floating pears, and Tusken raider murder speeches. Overall the role of Anakin was written to be whiney and Obi Wan was written to be wise. Characters like Mace Windu, Dooku, or even Yoda appear wooden in the prequels. Hayden Christensen does not deserve praise, but he definitely deserves less blame.
Hayden's face does things to my heart
I love hearing how this came to be. And Hayden is adorable.
Repeat after me; "The story starts when Anakin is an 8 year old and ends when Anakin dies"
I forgot Hayden's name, i typed
"Christian Haydensen" damn...
+Johan Dale I actually did the same thing one time.
Mina 12 "whatever same thing" XD
+Johan Dale that's hysterical.. that's because Hayden is an uncommon name... Christian isn't.. easy mistake
Tom Rice Yea !
+Johan Dale Very telling about what's happened to his career since he met George.
This is for the record: Luke was pretty damn whiney in A New Hope.
+Matt White luke is a bitch
+Matt White But I was gonna go down to the tosche station to buy some power converters!!
You should see the new baddy, OH BOYZ! Hehehehe *Would you like some cheese wit dat whine?

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
I actually loved attack of the clones though
Same ! I honestly think this movie is underrated .
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 EXACTLY
@@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.
Me too
I love how invested this actor is in the whole saga. Like I feel like all of the sequel trilogy actors have no clue what happens in star wars
Joe M well said
Except for John Boyega, he called JJ out on the "they fly now" scene
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.
well guess what happened:))
Hayden's eyes still frighten me. He still has that dark side look
Smouldering eyes
George: *Goes into long and thought out answers"
Hayden: I like lightsabers
Don't let him near a nursery with it lol
Hayden was perfect for the role of Anakin, such a great actor
Why did everyone hate Christensen's acting in Star Wars episode 3? I thought it was pretty good.
Ya me to
Unless you're comparing his acting to that of teenagers in a middle school play called romeo and Juliet, then I agree.
+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.
right. that was his movie.
Lorox Makevids EXTRA Yeah, he works well in the role in Ep 3.
Episode 3 is my favourite Star Wars
lewis birchwood well then you are lost!
sameeee
Tf is wrong with you
Episode 4 is my faverit
same except for the kid killing but other than that I love it
I love how the Yoda species is still mysterious, can't wait to see how the Mandalorian turns out
They aren't mysterious, they are simply space frogs.
@@MrParkerman6 master kermit
Alex Souster I want the mandilorian to end when baby Yoda gets returned to yodas homeword
The saga ends with anakin. Not rey
I believe they should make as many star wars films as they want but the sequels shouldn't be classified as the Skywalker saga
Sheev Palpatine I totally agree with you
Yes it goes from 1-6 that’s it
Yeah, they made Luke look like a failure
Wait,who's rey?
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
"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
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.
"Feels like"?
Imagine you are seeing this interview, now in 2023, and you are beginning to ask why they didn't asked Hayden to speak Anakin's voice in TCW.😂
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 👏 👏 👏
George Lucas is far from the worst director...he’s one of the greatest directors of all time...
May the force be with Hayden Christensen
Totally love Hayden as Anakin. Perfection and now he's back!
Hayden rockin the early Clone Wars hairstyle right here
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.
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
George Lucas net worth : 10 zillion dollars.
Wears Target brand shoes.
(I love this man)
He deserves it.
Compared to the new trilogy, the Prequels were Oscar material.
What do you mean compared to the new trilogy they've always been Oscar worthy
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.
The acting in the sequels wasn’t even bad
XEN_WOLF F I agree it’s just the horrendous story line and script
Tatiana I’m talking about the sequels. I liked the prequels, the love was a bit cringe at times
"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
What is yoda's species and his background outside of the movie?
George Lucas- "I dunno."
+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.
Hayden was the perfect fit for Anakin. I don't think anyone else could have done a better job. He deserves more love!
He has a unique James Dean-esque feel to him that a young Darth Vader would have.
the saga started with anakin and ended when he died... the new movies just seem like someones fan fiction
agreed. The Disney garbage they have out now are just rubbish. The star wars story has been told from episode 1 to 6, that is the end of Star Wars
I actually liked TFA but the next 2 were garbage. And you’re right it feels like some fan wrote a script and filmed it.
Liberal infested, below garbage tier, fanfiction.
Yeah, I see that. Rey is 100% a mary-sue tbh.
@@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!*
Hayden is a good interviewer :D
Darth Revan and a great actor
@@mebem1008 agreed 👍👍
Darth Revan sad u ain’t canon tho
This aged well
luv ur pfp ahahaaaaaa
Christensen has such a cool voice :P.
What do you mean? That is his voice lol
Bryahna Christy are you braindead
@@liar2k5 No why?
Bryahna Christy bruh moment
I get what you mean. He has a very calming voice.
Hayden really got that “James Dean, daydream look in his eyes” ❤️❤️❤️
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
"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.
Hayden seems like he really enjoyed being in star wars. i can see them bringing him back on set. They should.
“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
Love Hayden he’s so ridiculously handsome and George Lucas is an absolute genius.
I find it hilarious how George Lucas dresses like a hopeless grandpa, even though he has billions of dollars...
Spending his money wisely, the same as Bill Gates.
+Haz3 R3minisc3 Having billions of dollars and not spending at least 0.005 percent of it on some decent clothes is spending money wisely?
+The Privileged Capitalist Just Stop...you're not even sure the answer to your arrogant jab.
Is it difficult to not walk into a wall when your breathing such elitism?
Anyone can fire away a shitty designed question and make someone else sound stupid.
+James Which is why it was a joke. Of course he has decent clothes. He just doesn't want to wear them..
The Privileged Capitalist A joke? That is what Joe offered, a good laugh. He doesn't need a sidekick, but what do I know...not as 'privileged' to see through the new age ways of piggy backing off other people with better material!
I love both of these guys
In a non homo way
You like george? sigh...
