@AishaVonFossen 8 жыл бұрын

+Jessica Poggi Wow, he voices Satan in a Paradise Lost audio book? That sounds pretty awesome! :D I remember seeing him as the Porter in Macbeth, I watched it in 8th grade after we read the play. He was a bit spooky but he actually made me laugh. LOL I like how he broke the fourth wall in the beginning of that soliloquy by looking directly in the camera and beckoning us to come nearer, that was just so funny. XD Yeah, I read a bit of the Star Wars Shakespeare books, and seeing it performed here is just even better, I'm glad they're well written, too. It's honestly a shame that Ian isn't a more popular actor, because he's really good at what he does, his own brand of classic Shakespearean actor for sure. :D

Considering all the changes Lucas made to the OT, it's best that it's kept as unaltered as possible in substance from here on. Considering the gap from when you see him on screen, I think it'd only be noticeable when compared side-by-side, or by the super fans. But then again, us super fans would notice any minor discrepancy.

One-upping a character as intimidating and well executed as Darth Vader is ambitious enough. Making him a much smaller old man is even harder. Taking that concept and making it "real" on-screen, nailing every aspect of the character from casting and writing to makeup and leitmotif? Madness. I can't think of a single way they could've done better. George, Ian, and everyone involved deserve all the credit they get for Sheev. The character is one of the shining stars of an already very bright franchise.

Ian and Ewan are my personal justifications for the prequels. The rise of Palpatine, and the exploration of Obi Wan's pre-empire life were both well worth sitting through the negative aspects of the prequels.
