Rumor of the day: The return of Hayden Christensen.....

I hope he appears.

jake lloyd returns....

hsith rises

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

An older Jake would've been cool.. at least for continuity's sake.

Anakin's the John Connor of SW.

 

[fosing]

well, THAT is the real darth vader.
he looks gang related.
death star, represennnnt.

Rumor of the day: The return of Hayden Christensen.....

The site I read that on said he was "training to reprise his role" Why would he need to train? I'm assuming he'll be a ghost?

 

[a-dev]

Well if he did come back at least he'd probably be speaking better dialogue in a less wooden way due to a director who cares more about such things.

 

[Praedane]

While not a great actor, I have seen performances where Hayden has at least been passable (and sometimes more-so), so this may not be the catastrophe that some might predict.

Having said that, this is still ONLY a rumor at this point, so take it with a VERY large grain of salt...

Looks like you've already forgot the main character of this new film:
"The Incredibly Sweaty Man Who Haven't Said a Word So Far".

It'd be nice to see Hayden as Anakin again. I really don't think he's as terrible as most fans say.

He was very good in "life as a house".

 

[abake]

Yeah, I think the main issue with Hayden's Anakin is that he wasn't playing a likeable character. I think there's a few genuinely good moments in Eps. 2 and 3. Unfortunately, there's also a lot of bad ones...

Yep.
And I actually liked him in both films, despite bad dialogs and stupid scenes.
However, it's hard to imagin' him being a part of NT.

 

[abake]

Yeah, you know, watching Ep.2 again after a couple of years, it was surprising how much I enjoyed the movie. Even the silly rolling in the hay scene wasn't that terrible. I mean, it's not good, but you can understand what Lucas was trying to do, and I really have a lot of respect for it.
Hayden really came off as an awkward teenager, and the dialogue and acting all reflect that. Padmé looks uncomfortable all the time, and then she suddenly smiles and brightens up the screen, it's actually quite good.

I'm looking forward to watching Ep. 3 again, which was my favourite of the prequels.

Anyway, I think it would be great for the NT to embrace the PT as well as the OT. You can't really go forward trying to ignore those three films and those who worked in them.

 

[jkno]

It was not really Hayden's fault the PT script was so lame

It's hard to deliver "I don't like sand" without sounding stupid.

Did you just describe AOTC with those words

to beef up was my first thought, and you are right: if he's a ghost why train? Weird. I would be ok with him back. He's a good actor, he just had ****** direction from Ol George. Question is: why is he back?

Maybe a flashback? Or he's been cloned ( I hope not). Or maybe it's for a totally different movie , maybe a stand alone Clone Wars film. I'd be all in for that!

The guy is willing to better himself and prepare for the role by training for it....

 

[fosing]

he had to train for this...
