    I can’t say enough nice things about Hayden’s return to the role. He nailed it. It’s a big performance, he and Rosario have exactly the right chemistry - old trust, new mistrust and a tension between. Those scenes are fantastic, and they strengthen the redemption tale aspect of the overall Skywalker Saga by their addition.

    I’d watch an Anakin/Wolverine show. First half, anakin gets sent to Northern Alberta with nothing but his wits. He meets up with Logan, after a few episodes as rivels they work together and become friends. Second half, the figure out how to get anakin back, Logan comes with, gets lightsaber claws.

    Christensen isn’t a bad actor (he was great working with Hank Azaria in Shattered Glass). Nobody could have saved that direction and dialogue.

      Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn’t a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.

      I think the dialogue and direction perfectly captured a shut-in teenage monk trying to flirt with the most attractive woman in the galaxy.

        there was a lot cut. the cut parts make it make sense and remove some of the cringe. its not a story that the Jedi would tell
