We take a look at some of the most hated things to have happened to Star Wars since 1977.

In my opinion, Haydeen Christinsan did a good job with Anakin. Nobody could really make that dialogue work, he was doing his best.

Its still a damn shame about kid Anakin's actor. He didn't deserve the bullying he received for his role

[SithLadyDarhVamp]

Hayden isn't a bad actor. Watch the scenes with zero dialogue, it was Lucas' direction and the dialogue that made people blind.

[calebwagner]

Gotta disagree with Anakin being on the list, no ones pretending their weren’t some bad lines, but watching these movies more recently made me realize how over exaggerated it is. And episode 3 Anakin is almost perfect tbh, he’s a little cocky during battle, but still more scared and afraid of losing Padme than anything, and I think it was shown perfectly in 3. Anakin is a G

My worst list:
-Clone Wars getting cancelled because Disney didn't wanted to properly finish the series with the promissed 8 seasons (there were also different characters in the Ashoka arc);
-Thrawn getting no follow up after his defeat;
-Resistance being way to childish (this series had good promise and good episodes but it was way to childish, Jar Jar is tolerable);
-that we needed a series that started as a silly movie and ended on a giant bang to understand Anakin (we still have no cannon answer to that thing that happened on Cato Nemodia).
Edit: 1313 getting shafted.

For the original Star Wars, they had the benefit also of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, who carried that film. Especially Ford, who took his script as a suggestion, not a rule.

Jake Lloyd wasn’t bad, watch the other child auditions and he knocks the others out of the park

[levicurtis]

Hayden was perfect for the role, people just didn't like it. Christanson tried his best to be the Anakin that Lucas wanted, even Lucas has said Christianson was his best choice for the role

The last time I was this early, the clones weren’t executing their Jedi officers.

[kingkusnacht]

Why does everybody hate Leia kissing Luke? I know it's fucked up but in the scene, she clearly did it to annoy Han. It's not trying to promote incest as the any romantic angle ends as the truth is revealed in Jedi. (Although Leia's response of knowing that she was his brother is kind of weird).

[commonsense]

Only Hope for Stars wars’ future is Dave Filoni, Jon favreau, and Charles Soule guides new writers to make good Star Wars content. And Writers and directors actually works together to make story feels more cohesive for the narrative purpose that feels fresh and new. And proof reading

You got that Rian Johnson (Waste and ruin Phasma so he can waste his Time with DJ a pointless character for terrible subversion of Expectation. Rian have time to read phasma books/comics but chose not to) and Kathleen Kennedy.

[The_Lone_Outlaw]

I agree with everything but your opinion on Hayden not being the right choice for Anakin.

When you get into the details of his psyche and emotional trauma, combined with the setting and conditions Anakin was enduring, Hayden knocked it out of the fucking park.


Its something you have to know real emotional torture to really pick up on. And Anakin is probably the most emotionally tortured people to ever exist in fiction.

Hayden perfected the EXTREMELY complex character that is Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

To me, those who see him as a whiny brat do not truly understand Anakin or his story.

clone wars cancellation entered the chat

[justicedunham]

Lucas is not a great director. He’s an ideas guy. He has great ideas and needs a great director and writer to bring his ideas to life.

[kenbrown]

if Anakin HADN'T been a whiny angsty teen, with no relationship skills, Palpatine wouldn't have been able to groom him to turn him to the dark side. star wars movies are better on subsequent viewings, because then we can see all the steps that carry the story along.

Please stop hating on Hayden Christensen, just because he had a character that acts whiny doesn’t mean he is. He was just doing what he was told to do. I actually liked the prequels except the phantom menace and the AOTC romance, and I think Hayden was a perfect choice to be Anakin Skywalker.

[themagalorian]

Hayden Christensen is a good actor! George Lucas' writing of the character was the problem.

Giving the lisence to EA to make all the games is easily one of the worst decisions they've made. Since they took over they have put out one good game and it was super short. Before we got multiple titles per year. Sure some were garbage but we got a hell of a lot more good games than EA is giving us.
