Hayden Christensen is. Legolas Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 06:01:15 PM
The actors in the new trilogy aren't really any worse than the original. In fact, some are quite good. The problem is George Lucas had a lot more creative control this time around. He didn't even direct Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. And he wasn't such an icon that people couldn't question him back in the day. Harrison Ford could say "You may be able able to write this shit, but you can't say this shit" to Lucas thirty years ago, but no one would dare today. Let's not forget that if Lucas had directed and cut Empire Strikes Back, Leia would have said "I love you" and Han would have replied "I love you, too." The infamous "I know" only came about because of Harrison Ford and director Irvin Kershner.

But yeah, see the further replies to that, you're right, it had more to do with the writing (and directing, as you say).

I take it you are among those wise people who deny the existence of the second trilogy? Legolas - 08/08/2010 11:40:16 AM 712 Views

Probably because it's the voice of his father/clone. Makes sense *shrugs* ironclad - 08/08/2010 12:56:00 PM 731 Views

The voice can be explained logically, but it still sucks balls. (and not in the good way) TaskmasterJack - 08/08/2010 02:50:34 PM 765 Views

Plus the three films we don't talk about and shouldn't exist. *NM* snoopcester - 10/08/2010 12:33:40 PM 286 Views
Episode III was as good as any of the originals. Ghavrel - 10/08/2010 06:37:28 PM 628 Views
It most certainly was not! Rebekah - 10/08/2010 06:39:30 PM 549 Views
Yep, close to it, at least. ironclad - 10/08/2010 09:46:22 PM 649 Views

Agreed *NM* Sidious - 11/08/2010 05:27:49 AM 334 Views
I don't know about that. Fisher, Ford and Hamill could act. Legolas - 11/08/2010 03:00:26 PM 687 Views
To be fair Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:24:36 PM 783 Views

Good point, that's perhaps an even more important difference... Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:29:34 PM 679 Views
Yes. Lucas should never write anything Camilla - 11/08/2010 04:33:05 PM 572 Views
he shouldn't direct either!!! *NM* imlad - 12/08/2010 12:39:56 AM 337 Views

That's not quite the issue. TaskmasterJack - 12/08/2010 01:37:58 AM 668 Views
