Rogue One: Hayden Christensen will not cameo in Star Wars spin-off

>Kennedy went one step further, clarifying Solo won’t be in the film and firmly stating that Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker in the prequels, will not be in the film, despite Darth Vader making an appearance.

It's the second Disney Star Wars film. They're still trying to wash out the bitter taste of the pequels out of people's mouths. Maybe down the line he'll have a cameo, but it was always pushing it to think he'd have a role this early.

I TRIED SO HARD

why would he make a cameo, wasnt he completely burned and turned into the mask wearing darth vader everyone knows and loves? maybe they show him putting the mask on or what?

Didn't he make it a point to hide and move as far away from the franchise as he could? I mean I feel like he'd probably accept it if they offered it to him because money, but I don't think they'd approach him anyone.

He realizes TFA was shit and being in another Star Wars trainwreck would not help his career in any possitive way.

You wouldn't have the nuts to say that to my face fuckhead.

>trying to wash out the bitter taste of the pequels out of people's mouths
>by making TFA
lmao

jumper

was

better than episode 7

come at me bros

Fuck you JJ, Id destroy you with one hand.

Why would Carrie Fisher make a cameo she was fat as shit and old

>Didn't he make it a point to hide and move as far away from the franchise as he could?

No. He was actually interested in reprising the role for The Clone Wars cartoon.

no one will "come at you." TFA was terrible and worse than every prequel.

Agreed, Christensen is actually not a bad actor, I saw him in that movie about the New Republic writer who literally just made up stories. He was pretty good.

Shattered Glass is what it was called.

That picture needs captions:
"When you get that really good bud."
"Just got back from swimming in Rio."
"Damn Padme... wash that pussy once in a while."
"Fucking sand in my eye."

>boy, those prequels sure were terrible, huh? Don't worry guys, we're true fans of the movies just like you! Han shot first, amiright?

kill yourself

TFA was worse than the prequels.

>0 charm remake of ep4
>Nothing memorable about it
>Can't remember any of the characters name or what happened except the the protagonist girl was the worst mary-sue in a live action movie of all time

(You)

Try being more subtle next time.

The prequels were far better than Episode VII|

You think I'm fucking trolling?

TFA was 2/10, points salvaged by Harrison Ford only.

Eh, still needs work.

Keep at it though, you'll get there eventually.

why not? it's true, even hayden thinks so. Wasn't there rumors of a lawsuit because prequels were so bad? I remember Natalie Portman making some kind of similar statement.

Just let it go man.
The TFA shills are a minority on Sup Forums.

Hide the thread and live life

the prequels were better than the original trilogy

Slightly better. Still a bit obvious.

I think it was your timing.

>being this in denial

Face it, Episode 7 is generally disliked and considered worse than the prequels (at least on Sup Forums)

>You've done that yourself!

There are literally other actors from the prequels making cameos in Rogue One.

He was alright in this. I like to think of it as an alternate retelling of his post-clone wars story. With Nick Cage as Obi-Wan.

Sup Forums (and Sup Forums in general) will always hate the newest things. Its the same thing with games on Sup Forums. Things that got slaughtered on release are getting more popular as more sequels are released.

I predicted that the prequels would be viewed more favourably after TFA's release even though theyre for the most part awful movies (excluding some parts like the assassin chase in the beginning och 2 and Obi wan vs Jango Fett). I think TFA was pretty good. It had some good sceneries, and Kylo ren is a way more intersting villain than Darth Maul. The thought that its not only the dark side that has its pull, but also the light side is pretty interesting.

>Sequel was to wash out the bitter taste of the prequels

Except the prequels actually reinvigorated Star Wars and gave us more actual content than the OT did. The only people who dislike them are contrarian little 20 year old faggots who didn't even see them in the cinemas.

Even Phantom Menace was more of a Star Wars film and vastly lore-intensive than TFA.

How many people did you know even understood what the First Order was after seeing the film? Or what happened to the Empire? Why was The Resistance even a thing? What were Snoke and Kylo even supposed to be considering neither held the Darth moniker?

What was the system that was destroyed, and why were the entire New Republic fleet stationed around these planets and not defending the neutral zone between them and The First Order/Empire?

Then let's look at TPM:

>"Omg, who can understand all this trade rubbish that was clearly outlined in the film xDD"

Agreed. At least the concepts and art behind the prequels were original and not some iStormtrooper fucking trash. That and some truly great scenes
>Podracer sequence
>Darth Maul vs Obi Wan/Qui Gon

Id say the people who like the prequels are 20-25 year old contrarians who watched them in cinemas before even seeing the old ones and now its part of their nostalgia.

I'd say that you're full of shit and we actually got to see the OT in theatres unlike your pleb preteen self. The prequels were disappointing but had memorable scenes and sets.

TFA was a bland nostalgia-grab explosionfest that felt like a watered down New Hope with shittier pacing, direction, and concepts. But yea keep shilling for disney gotta get that 4 billion back

>Id say the people who like the prequels are 20-25

Plenty of adults like the prequels. Also, all of asia likes the prequels because for years that's all of what they knew of Star Wars.

Even half of /r/starwars hates episode 7. It was shit.

its not that i dont understand the trade bullshit, it's that the trade bullshit is fucking boring and has no place in a star wars movie

well pretty much the whole world disagrees with you so oh well

I wish I could be as delusional as you.

I'm 26 and knew the prequels were awkward trash as a child

there has never been a good star wars movie

So if you're so smart, why can't you see TFA for the hogwash it is?

It's a shame, prequels really damaged the careers of the actors that took part in them, even though they weren't at fault. I would have been alright with him being inside the suit. This whole "we're not the prequels guys!!!" stuff is getting old.

20-25 year olds are adults

Im 25 years old, meaning I was 9-10 when phantom menace released. I thought it was awesome at the time, I played the PS1 game and everything. I even liked ep2 a lot when it released, it wasnt until ep3 that I had outgrown it. When I later rewatched ep1 and 2 I found them extremely boring sans a few interesting ship/robot designs. The normal battle droids were ridicoulus comic relief, Jar jar was awful, and count Dooku underutilized. It feels like too much of the movies are just chase scenes, and 'hilarious' quips, which is a flaw that TFA has as well but at least it tries, and sometimes succeeds in being dramatic too. The most flawed aspect of the prequels is Anakin himself as he's miscasted to hell. Kylo ren och the other hand is spot on casting.

wow what a twink

gonna jerk off to this

>The Force Awakens being better than a film like Episode 3
This meme really needs to end

Sorry, you're not going to convince me you genuinely hate something this universally loved. :^)

It's not universally loved at all, even half of reddit hates it. Keep shilling tho, maybe Disney will give you a raise

>10/10
>great actor
>sign up for some fatfucks cash grab from dumb manchildren
>never get hired again
>your castmate gets her jewish connections to land her in cold mountain to save her career
>you fade into irrelevancy

Hollywood is so cruel

TFA would have been better if it had a First Act. Instead JJ was too focused on making sure that it looked and felt exactly like Episode 4 so all the OT fans would go see it so many times to relive their nostalgia.

he's not even a good actor, much less a great actor. Natalie at least is capable of acting.

>even half of reddit

Opinion discarded. Ed

Prequelfags BTFO

I can't be the only one who liked him in this

JUST

wew that's some top tier cringe, thank kek school starts soon for you kids. If you're not the seek help

see above posts.
>also "In time" with Justin cheesey swing timberlake was far better than episode 7.

A real missed opportunity.

Look how good he would have looked here if this was his make up design in the film

TFA was better than the prequels and for some that was enough. But it was still boring as all fuck.

That doesn't seem right. Why didn't he do it then?

>also "In time" with Justin cheesey swing timberlake was far better than episode 7.
I loved that film. Well I mainly loved the idea of people dying at age 30 with a clock attached to their arm and I was looking forward to see possible sequels with more people living in that world. Similar to the Butterfly Effect trilogy

It's the Union vs the Confederacy, in space.

The Trade Federation wanted independence from the Corrupt republic who they saw as imposing their will on those who didn't want it or vote for it.

The CIS were actually the good guys.

DISNEY'S "TOMMORROWLAND WAS far better than episode 7.

I DON'T WANT TO WATCH STAR WARS ANYMORE

GIVE ME SOMETHING NEW

There is no reason for any real actor to play Vader in a movie when you only need any big tall guy to wear a costume. Of course Hayden is not going to be in it. What a stupid thread desu

There is not one single scene in all of TFA as memorable as Episode I's podracing sequence. Furthermore, I'd say Episode 1 is a better movie simply for the fact that it spawned n64 podracer.

>Seriously tho fa m
>put this shit on surround sound and crank volume

AAAAND IN THE END

IT DOESN'T EEVEN MATTERR, MATTER

Anyone who thinks that prequels were better than TFA is a retard.

>They're still trying to wash out the bitter taste of the pequels out of people's mouths.
But half of Star Wars fans and most of the world enjoys the prequels. It's a literal meme that people hate them by an overwhelming majority.

this desu

4 or 5 at the top spot

then 6

then1
2
3

.
.
.
.
holiday special
ewoks battle of endor
ewoks carvan of courage
.
.
.
the force awakens

the only correct order.

agreed

>but disney shills will claim otherwise

how far from top spot to ep 6

why/when did the dark side change your eyes?

why was sheev able to keep his eyes normal?

if it's optional it just dumb.

Face it. Remove Jar Jar Binks and TPM is a masterpiece.

It will be remembered as a legendary film in many years to come.

Anakin was the chosen one. He had lots of energy flowing through him. Once he turned evil all that energy must have come so much more stronger hence the eye change.

I really liked this reveal shot

>when Millennials scramble for (You)s

Finally an opinion that makes sense

a galaxy far away.

as a youngling almost the best ot movie.

as a jedi master you can see the cash grab potential of the ewok's

and the rehashed ending.

>death star 2.0 etc

still blows the PT out tho

han solo should have died in jedi

lucas should have shot the scene's with vader taking luke too the city planet.

Obi Won and Qui Gon Jinn. 2 legendary characters that will be praised in many years to come when Shakespeare fans watch the prequels.

How can you not love that opening shot of Phantom Menace with them in robes? It is so memorable.

So many things about the prequels are so memorable.

Remove Anakin, and its a great movie.

>no more podracing
>no more bad child acting with retarded lines "spinning that's a good trick" and "are you a space angel?"
>no more Anakin builds C3-P0
>no more Jesus-Anakin
>no more Jedi can only start training at 1 year old because that's fucking retarded, and Luke basically did it as an adult over the summer

Just cut to a kid Anakin at the end, we don't need to know his retarded origin, especially because he's really just a side character in I.

It is probably Lucas reasoning too but you know like me every sith now has yellow glowing eyes.

I'm sure there's a wookiepedia page about it...

the podrace scene was so good, it alone expanded the universe far more than episode 7
>new aliens
>a look into sport in the star wars universe
>new vehicles
>fast paced fun


Fact is that a lot of the hate towards the PT is entirely undeserved and didn't exist until the Plinkett videos. I could easily nitpick the OT as much as RLM nitpicked the prequels

>Just cut to a kid Anakin at the end, we don't need to know his retarded origin
Out of all the prequel hatred, this is by far the dumbest one I have ever read

>not liking the podracing segment
okay you are trolling big time

Also I liked the scene when he said goodbye to his mother. It was emotional for me. His acting wasn't bad in that scene but yes he needed to stop doing the "yippee" stuff

Except Every Sith but Dooku had it.

It was just Hack Lucas trying to make sure the audience knows he's bad now.

here's how to keep the pod race without anakin

>same thing happen they land on tattoine, the need parts
>only way to get the parts is to gamble them at racing because no money
>obi wan fly the pod

>prequel apologists will defend this

I think it's good that anakin is the one driving the pod. In the OT Vader was the best pilot the Empire had, so, as George would say, it's like poetry, it rhymes(and unlike what those fuckfaces at RLM think that's a good thing)

>Fact is that a lot of the hate towards the PT is entirely undeserved and didn't exist until the Plinkett videos
Not true, my man.

Please tell me how this is any worse than the singing scene in episode 6. The podracing scene is one of the most memorable in the entire saga. Far more memorable than anything in episode 7, that's for sure.

>Rogue One: Hayden Christensen will not cameo in Star Wars spin-off

Why would he? The prequels are non canon.

Why is he the best pilot tho? Was it because of years of dedicated training and surviving battle and learning from his mistakes?

Oh no. No he's just the best. He's spinning, that's a legendary trick.

should have started the episode 1 with pod racing,,,, man children would have been coming in their Y fronts.

ending on qui gonobi wan vs maul fight.


episode 2 + 3 have no adrenaline pumping scenes.

>Darth Maul vs Obi Wan/Qui Gon
I'll agree with the podrace, but this one fucking sucked.

It is true though, I remember when Episode III came out everybody loved the prequels. Sure, we knew episode 2 wasn't great but episode 3 was adored.

Because he has fast reflexes due to the force. As Qui Gon says, he has 'jedi reflexes'. Anakin had the highest powerlevel in the entire universe.

dated CGI? Lol good one friend
>with any luck we'll cheapen the old canon and force people to buy our disney ripoffs anew

So he's just naturally good? That's like being impressed at a fish being good at swimming.

>episode 2 + 3 have no adrenaline pumping scenes
That's unfair. The battle over coruscant in ep 3 is awesome, as is the final duel between Vader and Obi Wan. It was fucking amazing to watch in the cinema on opening night. As for Episode 2, I think it's the weakest in the PT but the Battle in Geonosis is pretty cool at the end

Micheal Phelps is naturally a good swimmer because of his genes and mutated joints. Are you impressed by him?

>There are literally other actors from the prequels making cameos in Rogue One.
do normies remember that jimmy smits was in revenge of the switch
