Was Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan one of the best casting choices of all time?
This guy was replacing a legendary, knighted actor in a role and was picked just because he could do an impression of the previous actors voice and had a passing resemblance to him, and knocked it out of the fucking part.
He was the only thing that actually came across as believable in countless scenes of ridiculous Lucas bullshit and a co-star that couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, all because of the sheer passion he brought to his role.
I agree completely. He was boring in EP I, but he really did a good job in EP II and III.
Matthew Roberts
The same can be said about Ian McDiarmid. Palpatine and Obi-Wan are both brilliantly played and steal the show and keep it all together. Without them the prequels would have sucked even more.
Cooper Diaz
>the holotapes show him *tries to hide smirk* >killing younglings *giggles a little behind hand*
apart from that scene he's alright but mcdiarmid and chriss lee were the best
Jackson Johnson
nope he had nothing to work with so his performance was literally nothing, just like hayden's who is also a good actor you prequel apologist faggot. kill yourself
Austin Harris
I like him in the Shakespeare work he did
Justin Moore
>Hayden is a great actor no, he's not. That's why Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman still have work and he doesn't.
No actor could possibly give a convincing delivery of awful lines like "I don't like sand."
Kayden Hill
NOT ANAKIN!
Lincoln King
Alright m8, you show me an actor who could play Anakin better the way Lucas wrote him in the prequels.
Go ahead.
Hunter Murphy
Yeah, but have you seen shattered glass? Great script and he STILL sucks
Joshua Bailey
You maybe could have made it work if they were on a beach and Anakin was playing with some sand and it had a more jocular delivery so it wouldn't come across like a shitty pick up line.
Evan Martin
Obiwan (maybe Ewan, dunno) should get his own movie also
Cooper James
he looked the part though
Easton Nguyen
By far the best part of the prequels, the originals, the old EU, the new EU, and every other piece of Star Wars content is Sheev all other characters suck in comparison
Nolan Torres
what was so great about Ian's performance as Sheev? I thought that Lee's performance as Dooku was more noteworthy
Juan Rivera
what performance? he was in the movies for like 10 minutes
Jack Martinez
>ywn see Obi-Wan vs Sheev KINO battle
Oliver Williams
when he dueled yoda at the end. i literally jumped out my seat in theater screaming "YYEAAAAHH KICK HIS ASS!!!"
Owen Rivera
He has good facial expressions.
Isaiah Sullivan
for your sake I hope you're not being serious
Jordan Murphy
he's not the only one
Mason Brooks
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE POLICE ARE EVIL
David Bennett
It always tickles me how Hayden looks like my brother.
Jose Walker
YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN
Nicholas Watson
>no, he's not.
t. Someone who has never seen anything of his but Star Wars and Jumper.
Mason Sullivan
post clips of him performing well
Nicholas Thomas
Watch Shattered Glass, The Virgin Suicides or Life as a House (This movie itself isn't very good, but his performance is good)
Ayden Brooks
isn't Hayden coming back to play Vader's force ghost in EVIII?
Connor Williams
Where did you hear that? I'm pretty sure there's nothing close to a reliable source that it's happening.
Wyatt Brown
I hope he tells luke about the sand people.
Brandon Nguyen
someone on Sup Forums said that it would be cool if ghost Vader would be a Gollum/Smeagol schizo that switched between Anakin and Vader, that would be pretty good
