Ewan acting is up there Ian McDiarmid is a classically trained actor from the theatre like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen all great actors love there work and so happy to see Ian back as the emperor 🙏

[XPalpatiine]

It’s hard to pick the best since all the characters are so different. My top 5 would probably be:
1) Harrison Ford
2) Ian Mcdiarmid
3) Sir Alec Guinness
4) Ewan McGregor
5) Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill (couldn’t decide between the two)
Honourable mention to Anthony Daniels, we can’t even see his face and his movement is restricted in that suit, but he was flawless as C3PO.

Kenobi episode 6 was absolutely awesome. Everything was great.That fight between Vader and Obewan is up there with some of the best Star Wars battles ever

Top five
1. Idk I just love star war’s

[LeonVP]

I think Daisy did a great job but its the writing of her character that suffers not the acting itself. Similar to Hayden in AOTC

[bigbird]

In college I had no cable and only one dvd for a year and it was attack of the clones . Me and my roommate watched it literally every day all day lol

[dr.pitmee_vocc]

The best performance in Disney Star Wars is undoubtedly the puppeteer team for Grogu. The fact that the cast treat him like he's actually alive even when the cameras aren't rolling. For George's Star Wars, its definitely Hayden.

"tie for second is Daisy or Adam"

5. Cameron Monaghan

Ewan is fabulous. I say he is the best, but Hayden is underestimated. He and Ian are tied in my opinion. Liam Neeson is right up there. Also, I actually liked Natalie's portrayal in AOTC and ROTS. The dialogue was bad in both, (her scenes in ROTS were tough to pull off), but she did her best. The dream sequence, the mustafar scene, and the birth scene were absolutely spectacular.

Title is a little misleading with what all you talked about in the video but I 100% agree with everything you said

[feherhasu]

1. Ewan - he's the best actor in the best character.
2. Carrie Fisher - the 2nd best actor/actress for me.
3. Ian McDiarmid - one of the best evil characters by him.

[ammonolivas]

1. Ewan

4. Mark
5. Hayden

Bonus: Frank Oz

[Sanguelto]

please give woody harrelson some love for his work in solo. so overlooked.

[TheSuperSnake]

They had to have known they captured something special with the flashback to Kenobi and Anakin training, why they didn't do more of that in this show I'll never understand

[IsaacHolland]

My top 5 list for best actors in SW:
1. Ewan
2. Ian
3. Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill
4. Anthony Daniels
5. Adam Driver

[MoviesGranted]

Ewan is definitely the best actor in the prequels and Obi-Wan. But I'd never watch 1 and 2 if it wasn't star wars. almost unwatchable it's so bad. And Daisy did great no matter how badly the movies were rated. You only like the prequels because of the nostalgia, exactly why I love the OG so much. "I don't like sand" lmao
