    Someone should really check to see if this writer has a grasp on reality. He said Anakin Skywalker was an actor. 🤣

      I think Hayden christensen’s a great actor and I think Adam needs to look himself in the mirror and ask him what kind of actor is he. If he is one at all.

        Dude, he’s saying ANAKIN SKYWALKER isn’t an actor lol. The article said “actor Anakin Skywalker”. That’s what he’s laughing at. The writer is an idiot and said Anakin Skywalker was the actor, which he’s not lol.

      Loved Hayden’s work George’s writing was the problem . And it’s great seeing Hayden back in a series that will blow our minds

        George’s writing was never a problem.

    Just remember Lucas had the chance to hire DiCaprio for this role..
    So close..

      My gawd. Dicaprio would have been garbage. Total garbage. Can’t even see the fat bastard in the role.

      1. To be fair, DiCaprio is a multi-Award winning actor. I have not really seen any of his films so I do not have an opinion of my own on his acting skills, but surely the Awards are merited?

      2. Jensee

        I agree! Leo would have been total crap as Anakin! Leo is phenomenal in other roles, but he would not have been right for Star Wars. Also, even when Leonardo DiCaprio was thinner,….I wanted him to play a young Orson Welles!

          Hayden Christensen is also a multi award winning actor. Hasn’t won an Oscar but he’s been nominated and he’s won other awards

      You know what, I read years ago in the star wars magazine that it was just a rumour that he was considered to be Anakin, the rumour started because he was visiting Skywalker ranch for just a look around like a tourist that it all kicked off, and regarding all the other comments below that he is a rubbish actor is nonsense, he is a great actor, it’s just because he starred in Titanic which is a total chick flick that the stigma stuck with him.

      Good thing too.

      Leo would not have been good in the role. He does n ot have any presence of the dark side, and really let himself go after Titanic.

      Hayden was perfect as Anakin, and I wouldn’t have any other way.

    This author should refrain from writing for the benefit of us all.

  4. DEAR AUTHOR: Please please *please* have more respect for your fellow Star Wars fans, and post a *spoiler warning* for Kenobi. I didn’t know Anakin was coming back! You’ve spoilt the show for me. I am genuinely upset 🙁

    1. Maybe….know your lore? Read comics? Like a true fan would.

      1. Patrick

        Maybe as ObiKenobi Obi Wans stunt double.

        What did Uncle Owen tell Luke when he was eating spaghetti with his hands?
        USE THE FORK, LUKE!!!

      Illisia, you need to open your ears and close your mouth. We have known Anakin was coming back for months. If you were truly a fan, you would have noticed this. The author did not spoil anything.

  5. Does it really matter, the prequels were great and i don’t see what the critics and George’s problems are. Hayden put out all he had and that was great for me. I love choreographed fighting. It makes the fights seem so much better. Luke’s battle with Vader on 6 was also epic as well, but I’m basically talking about this now.

  6. What is the problem. With this old fashioned idea of hair cuts, baldies exist and get used to it allready. Get over it! Before I don’t see whats the flipping problem, Anakin Skywalker was burnt!
    If people can not Handlde a bald hero/villain. Then maybe you just don’t deserve an opinion.!!! Deal with it.

      They were obviously talking about before he became a crispy critter. Obviously post-burnt hr would be bald 🙄
