Hayden Christensen
First of all, this is not meant to be a fangirl-thread, although I am one.
I want to discuss other people's opinions about this actor. Do you think he is lovely and talented (like I do) or do you think that he lacks talent and just sucks (as some others might say). Please let me know your opinions.

I think he has the potential to be a good actor, but I feel that AOTC as a vehicle for him didn't work because he was poorly directed in some of the more emotional scenes, and had some pretty shoddy script writing.

i agree with BoP. he did not have any emotion but i know he is a dedicated actor. so he could probably do better

Has anyone of you seen "Life as a House"? I thought he acted very well in it.

I don't understand the word prequel. Are these episode 4-6 or episode 1-3? I really have no clue, sorry.

Ah, okay. The prequels are episodes 1-3. The sequels are episodes 4-6. George didn't direct 5 & 6.

He didn't? Never knew that...was it Spielberg?
A prequel is something that comes before the original.

I thought George Lucas directed Episode 4 very well. Episode 1 wasn't so good, in my opinion, and that's primarily because we didn't have as spicy of characters in it. In Episode 2, the characters became more interesting, to me. I liked Obi Wan a lot, and of course Palpatine was perfect, just as he was in Episode 1 . I love seeing his behind the scenes plotting.
I wrote an essay on the romance between Anakin and Padmé, in defense of it. I really liked Anakin's acting and his portrayal of his character. To me he was perfect, though I agree that his lines weren't so good as those that the characters of the original trilogy had. I liked Padmé too, most especially because the resemblance became plainly visible between her and Leia. The similarities between parents and children were so neat and well placed that I greatly enjoyed them. That was one of the primary things that struck me immediately as I watched that film. I enjoyed Episode 2 a lot . |

I agree with you Lief, I thought he did a fine job with A New Hope, and it's still one of my favourites (Empire Strikes Back being my favourite.)
Gwaimir: ESB was directed by Irvin Kershner and ROTJ was directed by Richard Marquand.

It's a strange world we live in, where new films are called prequels and old ones are called sequels. It should be the other way round.
I had a discussion with a friend yesterday where I stated that the 3rd Highlander film was a sequel to the 2nd Highlander film, even though the plot in the 3rd film is set before the 2nd one.

It was not his looks that attracted me. I don't know.
