This made Hayden Christensen TEAR UP at Star Wars Celebration

This moment with Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen was so wholesome!

[shanerGT]

why did it take 20 years for this man to get the appreciation that he deserved!

[sightmare]

They made him cry.. not only the men.. but the women.. the children.

[matth]

He will forever be the actor who played the greatest hero/villain in cinematic history. God bless Hayden Christensen.

When people talk about anakin, I literally can’t picture anyone else but Hayden in RoTS, that’s how iconic he is

[tylercaramella]

Getting the love he should’ve gotten from the get go. He and Ewan are pure gems to this franchise. And am forever thankful for these guys

[diekrassekresse]

He deserves this more than anyone else.

[CoconutxKimchi]

It’s good to see him find out that he was NEVER forgotten. You’ll ALWAYS be our Anakin Skywalker and always have the high ground in our hearts.

[neage]

Bro I'll never understand the problem the older people had with Hayden as Anakin. I grew up watching those star war movies and loved seeing him on screen and the light saber duals is just a sight to see.

[Sledgehammer]

The best lightsaber wielder of all time. No one could ever be as talented or train as hard as Ewan and Hayden did

[cycleproduction]

Man, watching our brother getting the love he deserves just warms up my heart.

[macleod]

It makes my heart happy to see Hayden finally getting the recognition he has LONG since deserved. This dude nailed the part, portrayed Anakin perfectly, worked his balls off on learning the choreography for the sword fights.

[michaeltanner]

It makes me so happy to see him get his flowers. He was so unfairly criticized for a script that he didn't write, but the did the best he could to portray the character. You can tell this crowd reaction touched him on a deeper level. It's great to see.

[jdm]

The shit the prequels actors had to deal with from the fan community at the time was totally unfair, and always bothered me even in those cases where I agreed with the criticism. I think it's great that Hayden is finally getting the fan treatment he deserves.

[malekithsilverheart]

Imagine being blamed for ruining a franchise you love, that you were starry eyed to join, and harassed for decades with people saying you ruined it. Then imagine walking on stage after so many years being celebrated by fans and people you thought hated you, only to find out that they love you. I’d get emotional too, hell I couldn’t help but smile genuinely to this video bc I was so happy for him.

[GodEmperor_]

The older generation criticized him harshly nothing you could've done was going to please the old heads but to Millennials and Gen Z this guy was our childhood, so glad he's getting his flowers.

[forgtten]

'there isn't a single bit of it that isn't deserved.'
Finally gets the recognition he deserves.

[lock]

This man deserves all the love and praise from the fans. Absolute legend

[sooperalex]

HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN DID NOTHING WRONG AND ACTED BETTER THAN THE SCRIPT DICTATED. HE IS VADER, VADER IS HE. FAULTLESS AND PERFECT

[Bruhwas]

The state of star wars is unbelievable. We need more people like him

[Noone-rxkw]

you can see it in his eyes. His heart is swelling in that moment and he's trying so hard to keep composure. I know this is a year old but god damn im so happy for Hayden. No one can be Anakin except for him.
