His facial expressions, were VERY good and the fight choreography was pretty good too. I don't think anyone could make those lines sound good.

a few bad moments but if you compare it to most swordfights it's easily in the top 10 of all time

Consider who and wgat he had to deal with, he did fucking great. I like him as Anakin.
>>
>>219064992
He was amazing in the looks department and made Vader look genuinely menacing/sad on Mustafar both in rage and when crying, realizing what he's done. Really, the whole finale including the I HATE YOU with the unintended spit, it wouldn't work without Hayden. Not to mention, him and Ewan being GOATED I'm lightsaber choreography

He's an ok actor, he had to deal with awful dialog, but he did the fight scenes and the facial expressions well like >>219065258 said.

>>219064992
He's a good actor. Watch the movie where he plays a fantasist magazine political writer. He just needs a script
>>
>>219071631
The context of the line is supposed to be that he hates sand planets since it reminds him of his home where he and his mother were slaves and where she died.

Do you think that most attractive people know that they are inherently attractive?

Yes and no. But yes, although no.

His ex shit talked his bed skills, and he had a kid with her, so he definitely chose poorly if nothing else, which I would argue goes with the whole god doesn't give with both hands deal. Imagine if he had made it work with Nat, he still would have had a tiny jewess but would have been a better wife.

I thought the answer was obvious, he knows how attractive he is and has generated a mien of humbleness, which has worked astoundingly. Because even if its half fake, everyone else around him being stuck up or smug or whatever you want to call Ewan's behavior has made him look like he was cut from gems. Most actors end up coming off as narcissists, so if you're good looking and mostly stay quiet, it'll just build for you.
>>
>>219073877
we've an idea, ish.
>>
>>219064992
No, but he was relentlessly handsome.
>>
>>219074597
>Whatever you want to call Ewan's behaviour

At the time he looked like the second coming of Christ, so I can imagine the consequences of his personality would have been minimal.

I agree going the humble, non chalant route is a choice but the problem is then that if you lean into it too hard you'd lose opportunities. He's a wooden actor in any case but i think there are certain roles that he could have been peak in,
>>
>>219071401
He looks like a really nice lad.
>>
>>219066183
Downright amazing compared to the awful ashoka lightsaber fights.
>>
>>219075026

Shattered glass made me think he can act, but I think the roles he wants versus what he is good at are miss-matched which is why Anakin being his thing is kind of hilarious.

I honestly wish there was more swashbuckling roles because he is an excellent silver screen swordsman, just like Christopher Lee.

The crusader movie, where he got to show off his sword skills is great in parts, if you can get past Nic Cage's Ham.

He also hung out with rosario in the 90s, if nothing else he is blessed with women finding him.

The bait is admirable but rejected. You're either brown or have downsyndrome.

Yeah not his fault the writing and director were retarded

Yeah, that's the whole point. Star Wars is about the antichrist Lucifer, and he gets redemption saving his son. But, at the same time, Lucifer man bad. Same say he's actually Trump.

>>219064992
Yes. I clearly remember tons and tons of hate for him when the prequels were coming out. I think the appreciation for those movies grew over time, even before disney shat the bed. His expressiveness, signature moves, and portrayed awkwardness going from adolescence to adulthood are testaments to him doing a superb job. He even made "Snips" not sound like cringe garbage. And whatsername couldn't keep up with his swordplay. He's got skills.

It wasn't so bad early on but by the time you get RLM and codified OTfag hate, it was pretty vicious. I think he did great with what he was given. Lucas wanted something very strange on screen and I think having someone help with the dialogue would have made it more normal but on the other side of it..We still talk about it to this day. Strange operatic language delivery was a choice.

I'm sure after he dies and they recast all the movies and redo them, it'll finally be killed because of rehashes and reboots. Disney has been a terrible steward of the brand.

>>219075845
It's not. Lucas said that it's not about that at all
>>
It's amazing how the whole cast of the prequels remembers and talks about how everyone rightfully hated those shitty movies and prequels fans rewrite history, just ignore it and live in a different reality
>>
>>219076451
>that pic
And they never shared a scene together. Just awful. Remarkable how poorly Disney treated Star Wars. Complete lack of respect.

The OTfags that hated them the most are dying off, and the people that grew up with them are ascendant. It really isn't a reimagining. I always loved the prequels. I watched all of them in theaters, multiple times, in multiple cities. With family and friends.

I do think growing up with them biased us, but Even with their flaws, they're still better than anything Disney has put out. Rogue One was probably the best thing but its not really a movie so much as a coda to originals. Prequel-coda?

Andor was starwars in name only and anything else has been distinctly knock off brand shit stolen from the EU and executed worse than what it was on paper.

I know they're some young larpers out there thinking Disney somehow created the prequelissance or whatever but the same company actively shit on the prequels to say 'Good' starwars was coming back, created a new failed era in High Republic, gave worst budgets to the prequel related shows.

We were arguing with Otfags when this board was created. The difference is the Otfags fucked off for the most part after Disney shit in their mouths again.
