The light of the sabers reflecting on his face was also very intriguing. He started by sort of "comforting" Obi-Wan while having a blue light on his face, but when he started threatening Obi-Wan, his own saber (red light) reflected on his face. A small detail that I really liked

Hayden Christensen on big talk show is the highlight of the year. That man has been away too long. He is literally the perfect example of a leading man anyone can ask for. Tall, Handsome, funny, and a really good actor. I really hope he acts in more things outside of Star Wars because he’s seriously such an underrated actor. Would love to see him work with a big director like Scorsese, Fincher, or Villeneuve. Also a standalone Vader series would be perfect.

And that scene in Obi Wan Kenobi was heartbreaking, especially the part where he said "Anakin is gone, I am what remains", with his original voice fading into the Darth Vader voice it absolutely destroyed me lol. He was so far gone only his son could bring him back to the light.

His turn began way sooner, when Shmi died in his arms, he totally let loose all the fear and hate and used his superior skills to butcher the sandpeople, women, children, everyone, out of pure revenge, he enjoyed it and his eyes shown the first flicker of the Sith colour. Even Yoda felt that moment lightyears away. This was the moment he began his turn and Vader was in the making. And I dont judge him for that. To control that explosion of grief and hate even a Jedi Master would have struggled.

The moment he says, "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker... I did" with an absolutely satanic grin behind the mask is one of Hayden's most brilliant performances. Just goes to show what he can do with proper writing and direction. EDIT: concerning the "proper writing and direction" comment, I only had this sequence in mind and not the entire series. I think the dialogue, albeit short, is beautifully written and the duel masterfully executed and shot.

Loved Anakin as a kid. As an adult I feel sad over what people are saying, as I am personally very attached to Hayden's portrayal of Anakin, and also appreciate it a ton. I could never see anyone else play Anakin, and I feel like he is the only one who could've ever pulled it off, too. I wouldn't want Anakin to be any other way, and seeing Hayden finally be praised for his role brings love to my heart. Anakin Christensen forever.

Been defending Hayden and also Ahmed Best since then on forums, arguing with people who think they are correct and couldn't understand why I loved the prequels.

Corruption, failing faith in those you should trust. Telling your best friend that you HATE them… that is the dark side. He played that part perfectly. He deserves much more credit. That one moment when he screams “I hate you” it broke Obi Wans heart, and was the final bit of rage that completed Anakin’s transition to the dark side. When he was resurrected in the suit, and learned that Amidala was dead… the rage and anger fueled him as Vader.

without spoiling I will say, the fight scene was so beautiful visually and emotionally like the amount of pain I felt for Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan while seeing that is one that never leaves because it always lingers, and I love that. Especially when it came to the two actors, their chemistry alone set it up beautifully, but the acting was glorious. And when people get to those scenes PAY ATTENTION TO THE EYES! Like your eyes without uttering words obviously talk so much about what's going on inside and out. Hayden still does fabulous with that in this show throughout it, and like he did in the Prequels, idk that was my favorite thing about his and Ewan's acting their eyes weren't dull they showed the pain, they showed the stories. so yeah I just really think that is the key. I loved that show I hope we see more of Hayden though cause this is truly a treat. :)

Look im not trying to rain on your parade but pretty much everything else in the show was shitty and made no sense although i do agree that the Obi-wan and Anakin scenes were really good so to anyone who is interested, i would say just watch scenes on youtube of those interactions and not the show because the show literally makes 0 sense

Exactly, there were so few good scenes in the show. The writing was bad, episode 4 proved that the writers didn't seem to care. There's no denying it. It broke my heart to see how little cohesion the story and writing had. Disney struck out yet again.

@@remo7846 What scenes would you be referring made no sense? The show is literally just Ob-Wan's life 10 years after Anakin went dark. Reva was my favorite part because her story was so important. Seeing the end with her was so impactful as well, the choice to not follow through with thoughts of revenge. Like wow that was truly beautiful and amazing.

The fact that this already has almost 2 million views really shows the love and comeback that the fans have for this guy. And it's so well deserved. Even though I'll admit I wasn't a fan of the show. I most certainly was a fan when I saw him and Ewan reunite their roles and dynamic together. Hayden IS Darth Vader.

The prequels were what really got me to start fully appreciating the Star Wars saga for the masterpiece that it is, and Hayden as Anakin/Vader is one of the main reasons why. They really could not have done a better job casting him and Obi-Wan. Their confrontation in E6 was such an amazing moment to get to see and one that I've fantasized about ever since ROTS. The show as a whole wasn't really that great but that scene alone makes everything else worth it imo.

Honestly i have NO IDEA what people would be expecting. the trailer made it really clear that the show was set mere years after the empire took over, & Obi-wan, practically having lost everything by that point, would obviously be depressed & cynical. it also didn't help with the fact that the people that he had to deal with most of the time had to either be the oppressed, assholes or oppressed assholes, & he, unlike Mando & Boba, was just too tired to wanna deal with all that shit. just how flashy & high-spirited could a show in such a setting, which was made obvious enough in the trailers, could actually be?? did the haters actually expect Ben to just act like how he was before the republic & the Jedi order came crashing down?? By the way, just like how you put it, that scene alone makes everything else worth it. it's after all, a showdown between 2 miserable gits who had, objectively or subjectively, done terrible things & had a lot to live with. both had little to live for at that point & that emotional baggage that both carried could have easily crushed anyone else. it's really thanks to the slow, depressing, seemingly bland development of things in the prior episodes, that ultimately contrasted & made that ultimate confrontation look so well-done.

Many say he interrupts his guests a lot. I partly agree. But when some hosts let the celeb guests talked (like Colbert or Seth) it is often quite BORING. I think Kimmel and Corden balance it quite well. Let them talk a bit then when it starts to get boring they switch the subject subtlety.

I don't think there is an actor dead or alive who could play Anakin better than Hayden does. There is no other actor who can make an audience feel an incredible amount of mixed emotions, sadness, terror, pity, fear, heartbreak, hope, anguish, and many more just by the way he speaks with the word of mouth and with his eyes. I'm so glad he's being shown all the love he deserves.

There are actors who could possibly play Vader/Anakin really well, but none of them would fit the mold quite as well as Hayden does. He showed the internal struggle better than most actors could have, and cared more about his character than most actors do about theirs.

@@jinxx44 Except you have no proof whatsoever to state that other actors couldn't portray the character. Christensen just is the only person who has played young Anakin in live-action. People said nobody could match Jack Nicholson as the Joker, then it turned into Heath Ledger, and after that even Joaquin Phoenix portrayed the character well. Hell, some would argue that just the voice of Mark Hamill is the best joker.
