You never saw him on "Girls" then...they were showing off his physique during that show constantly right from the first episode, presumably as a contrast to his girlfriend on the show Lena Dunham's chubbiness. He didn't get buff for Star Wars, he was already that way years before. Plus he signed up for the Marines after 9/11 and served for almost three years, so I've always found the idea of him being purely emo as strange.

At one point, there was a rumor he was going to play Robin in a Batman movie because he is so fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 10 year old nephew saw it recently, he loves the original trilogy, saw TFA 3x at the cinema, favourite characters are Vader, Chewie and BB-8. He thought TLJ was, ok, boring in places, thought Leia Poppins was silly. Doesn’t want to watch it again, can’t wait for the next Jurassic World movie.

fantastic_four Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I rank the films as such: Empire Strikes Back Revenge of the Sith A New Hope Force Awakens Attack of the Clones Last Jedi Return of the Jedi Phantom Menace That's a personal ranking, not the films I see as best, although I'd only change the list by moving Revenge of the Sith from second to fourth ranking them more objectively. I've never understood why people hate Episodes II and III...they've got the best action and lightsaber duels of the entire series by far, barring the Darth Maul duel which is the best by the virtue of Ray Park's acrobatics. The most underrated is Attack of the Clones...I'll never understand why more people don't love the Dooku fights, or the Jango Fett sequences, or the Geonosis battle in the arena. Nor why people aren't more wowed by the space battle at the start of Episode III, or General Grievous, or the Mustafar lightsaber battle.

fantastic_four Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Luke had to inherit his whininess from somewhere, so I just let it ride with Anakin as I did with Luke in Episodes IV through VI. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not being whiny, Hayden Christensen was objectively...empirically horrible. Sure, he had total garbage writing to recite, but a piece of plywood with a lightsaber duct-taped to it would have been an improvement over what he brought to the role. He's the poster child for the dangers of casting someone who "looks the part" over someone who can actually act the part. He was horrendous as Anakin. His performance was the stuff of nightmares and not in a way that would have helped the portrayal. People might complain about Adam Driver's performance, but had the prequels been shot now and Driver been placed in the Christensen role those films would have been drastically improved by his presence.

comicwiz Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Someone posted this one FB. Even before I saw TLJ, it had that vibe of me being 9 again waiting to watch ESB in the theaters.

rjrjr Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) This movie flew past all of this year's superhero in only its 12th day of release. It will most likely be the #1 movie after this coming weekend and should be very close to $1 billion internationally. Sometime next week, it will pass Rogue One domestically/internationally. After that, it will be closing in on Marvel's The Avengers domestic total. Edited December 29, 2017 by rjrjr ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
