    I’d watch an Anakin/Wolverine show. First half, anakin gets sent to Northern Alberta with nothing but his wits. He meets up with Logan, after a few episodes as rivels they work together and become friends. Second half, they figure out how to get Anakin back and the who the villains who sent him there are. Logan comes with, brcause they are basically be(a)sties now. Logan gets lightsaber claws. Anakin gets even.

    Christensen isn’t a bad actor (he was great working with Hank Azaria in Shattered Glass). Nobody could have saved that direction and dialogue.

      I think the dialogue and direction perfectly captured a shut-in teenage monk trying to flirt with the most attractive woman in the galaxy.

        Same! I never understood the criticism. Yeah, all of his dialogues are awkward. But they perfectly fit his character.

          True. Episode 2 had a whole cut sequence where Padme presents Anakin to her family when the two go to Naboo, which adds lots of character to the pair and really drives home how Padme is just as interested in seeing things work as our young jedi.

      Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn’t a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.

    I can’t say enough nice things about Hayden’s return to the role. He nailed it. It’s a big performance, he and Rosario have exactly the right chemistry - old trust, new mistrust and a tension between. Those scenes are fantastic, and they strengthen the redemption tale aspect of the overall Skywalker Saga by their addition.
