Star Wars fans aren’t easy to please, and sometimes the weight of the fandom’s expectations can be suffocating for actors. Hayden Christensen suffered relentless criticism from fans and critics alike for his performance as Anakin Skywalker in Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. While the films were a box office success, the critique of Hayden’s performance as Anakin went on for years.
We dunking on Lucas now? Really?
Well we’re not rewriting history. Those movies were not great, and are widely accepted as badly written, with awful dialogue.
