Anakins story is honestly just depressing

I don’t care what anyone says... “Revenge of the Sith” is a masterpiece.

I love how this comment section is just dedicated to praising Hayden

I hope Hayden christiansen sees these comments commending him for his performances (Edit: i hope the Obi Wan Disney plus show does him justice)

Ewan McGregor was phenomenal as Obi-Wan Kenobi

Atleast you can tell Hayden actually cares about Star Wars, and has a feel for the franchise

Y’all can not tell me Hayden is not the finest man you’ve ever seen

Hayden really understands and cares about the franchise and he did a really good job as Anakin. He’s PERFECT for the role and I wouldn’t want anyone else. I loved it when he had the Darth Vader suit on, he looked so happy and it was adorable. (:

hayden is actually a really good actor. you can see how greatly he portrays his emotion in the prequals. it was the script that was the problem.

I'm happy for Hayden being able to wear the Darth Vader suit.

Whoever choreographed Anakin and Obi-Wan’s fight deserves a medal

I’ve seen all 9 movies. By far, Hayden’s and Ewan’s fighting scene is the best. Hands down. No fight, out of all movies, can compare. The fighting chemistry between these two was well done. The intensity and rage was all there.

I loved Episode III, probably my favorite. And I actually feel like Hayden was a great adult Anakin, teenager not so much, and his fall to Darth Vader felt more believable than the people waring nostalgia goggles give him credit for!

Revenge of the Sith is the best movie of the entire saga

I've defended Hayden since I saw the movies when I was a kid, I haven't stopped over a decade later. Godspeed, Skywalker.

Hayden absolutely doesn't deserve all the hate he got. 😔

Hayden seems like a pretty nice guy. Too bad he gets a lot of hate for his acting in the prequels. It's a shame, as it wasn't even his fault, he was just given bad material to work with.

I have a very unpopular opinion but I genuinely enjoy the prequels. Sometimes the dialogue makes me cringe & there are some plot holes in regards to the original movies but, to me, they're an important part of the story & I like watching them. I also really like Hayden as Anakin. Again, some of his dialogue may be cringe worthy but his facial reactions to things are always on point. Watching his interviews & knowing how much respect he has for the role is just an added bonus that I think they picked the right guy for the role.

Hayden is a legend, he did an incredible job. He HAS to come back in the Obi-Wan show, in a flashback of the clone wars, that would be amazing

"The Tragedy of Darth Vader" Really could be an alternate title for episodes 1-6.

I absolutely thought Hayden did a great job being Anakin. Haters gonna hate but i would choose him over Leonardo DiCaprio to be Lord Vader any day.

The Prequels are actually really good. They are misunderstood works of art! I love the Prequels!

Imagine George, who had this story line in his head since the 70s, and he is still explaining his main character to people. I give the dude credit, he's gotta be exhausted about it by now.

It's nice to see Ewan, an extremely experienced actor, and Hayden, a relatively young actor, being able to slip into their characters so perfectly and then hop right back out into being real friends. I'm probably biased though, I'm a massive prequel fan

I'm a prequel kid I love them I love Star Wars thank you Mr. Lucas

I think its a shame that Hayden has disappeared completely, I thought he was pretty decent as Anakin. There are way shittier actors out there, that are more successful.

It’s so cool how Hayden was able to use Vader’s speech pattern while conveying so much emotion. Any time I hear Darth Vader speak I can imagine Hayden saying it the exact same way. He played Anakin perfectly.

who’s here after hayden christensen and ewan mcgregor returning for obi-wan kenobi?

The script was the problem not the acting, the cast was a good choice

God Hayden is attractive

“It either scares or it thrills you.” - James Earl Jones ‘Nuff said.

We should get a darth vadar series on Disney + with hayden

Am I the only one that thinks that the footage of the actors fighting with the sticks without any special effects is really cool?

episode 3 made me cry

17 years later we have a reunion. I'm so emotional.

Hayden is a good actor He portrays an awkward person who does not have any social skill cuz he was never learned from other people as not having a father and all that

A perfect example of the Batman quote. You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Brings tears to my eyes.

Anyone else get goosebumps first time you saw this and the Imperial March played when the mask went on Hayden?

Love me or hate me but the Prequels are my faves of the whole saga

These prequels were way better for me than the new star wars movies, more polished and with real soul, not just to do movies to make money, just like Disney's philosophy

George always had the fans in mind, I'll take the prequels over the Disney trash anyday

I don't care what people say I love the prequels and I liked Hayden's performance as Anakin in Ep. III, yes I have to admit that his acting in Ep. II was not bad but well deficient, however I love the prequels, LOVE THE ENTIRE SAGA

Yea, people should cut Hayden Christenson some slack. I couldn't imagine anybody else playing the Anakin Skywalker character. (Matt Lanter is an awesome voice cast for animated Anakin.) Hayden did the best he could, under the extremely controlled circumstances, being directed by George Lucas. And, OF COURSE an Anakin Skywalker who eventually succumbs to Palpatine's subtle coercion, with the overwhelming fear of loss, seeded years before, is going to be the perfect example of becoming an ultimate evil. Of course whoever Vader was before would have been a flawed, petulant, whiny, and insecure spoiled brat. Someone more, "honorable," and stoic, fearless and good-natured becoming Darth Vader wouldn't be believable in the least. I think Hayden Christenson did a brilliant job. And should be celebrated forever, especially publicly, by the fans. Because, seeing how absolutely nervous he was at Star Wars Celebration 2016 was painful! He shouldn't have to face so much vitriol, I mean, he WAS the absolute STAR of the Star Wars saga! He should be treated as such! Besides, I'd turn evil for Natalie Portman, too lol I mean just LOOK at her! 😊 Edit; and Ewan McGregor was AWESOME as young Obi-wan. 👍

I would love to meet Hayden. He seems like a great guy and is definitely the best actor to play anakin

In my opinion Hayden Christensen was really good as Anakin Skywalker and brilliant as Darth Vader.His preformance at the end of ROTS was magnificent!

I'm a huge star wars fan and I really like the prequels, especially ep iii which is my favourite out of the whole series. I love Hayden Christensen as Anakin, I think he nailed the part especially in ep iii. The character development of Anakin/Darth Vader was so carefully done and it's a very emotional journey to see his transformation.

Justice for Hayden. All the real fans who loved him from day one unite in this comment section and it’s great!

Who here is wachting this after the announcement that Hayden is back ? 😁

Ewan McGregor's voice is unique.

I always really liked Hayden as Anakin, even though the dialogue sucked ass...

I’m so happy Hayden and Ewan are coming back to Star Wars 💙

The Prequels aged like fine wine imo

I needed that video to realize how hard the performence of lightsabers fighting was. My respect to the actors, the final version is worth it!

If you do not like Lucas' story, write your own Space opera and get it made into 6 movies.

No one could have pulled this off like Hayden. Episode 3 is still amazing and the final battle is epic. Very emotional series of three films about how the fear of loss can overcome you.

I really don’t care about what people say, for me the Prequels are fantastic movies and Hayden is an incredible Anakin/Darth Vader!

Duel of the fates makes everything epic :-)

George Lucas: Incredible story teller, lame script writer.

Still can't believe they cut his scenes out in the new movie

Hayden here looks just exactly as Anakin in the Clone Wars

Ewan and Hayden are two incredible actors. Ewan was an absolutely flawless choice for Obi-wan

I don't care what other people think about who should play as Darth Vader, but Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader is phenomenal. I prefer Hayden Christensen over Leonardo DiCaprio as Darth Vader.

I miss Hayden he was sick a great actor. I loved the prequels so much

Who cares what critics and everyone saying about Hayden Christensen performance as Anakin Skywalker back in 2000s, and screw on those raspberries awards he won because Hayden have did a awesome job playing Anakin.

The battle sequence of Revenge of the Sith was great. I always wanted to see Anakin Skywalker vs. Obi-Wan.

Whenever my star wars friends make joke about Hayden as Anakin i say...Leave Anakin alooone! I dont like sand either! lol. in all seriousness i think Hayden did great.

It’s just amazing to me how Hayden and Ewan both did pretty much that whole fight scene themselves

the lightsaber duels of the newer movies can never compare to the masterpiece of the prequels and og movies. the newer ones are just basic sword fights but the older movies have moves that show the Force is really a real thing. Revenge of the sith's lightsaber duel is a work of art for everyone involved.

See the behind-the-scenes dedication and excitement that went into creating Darth Vader for Revenge of the Sith.

I'm proud to say I love the pre-quels! It reignited my love for Star Wars and can't be more excited for the new movies! It saddens me to see people be so harsh on the pre-quels! You did a great job George! Star Wars Fanboy for life!!!

Watching this since he was just confirmed to come back as Darth Vader in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. I’m so glad he gets to play this character again.

George did a good job on the prequels. I wish he had directed and written the sequel trilogy.

I like Hayden because he did a really good job of expressing evilness in Anakin

I wish Hayden Christensen plays Darth Vader in Rogue One. I hope Ewan McGregor plays Obi Wan in his new Star Wars movie.

Hayden is such an underrated actor

We love you, Hayden. Don't you forget that.

In my opinion ROTS was one of, if not the best of the series. Great performances (Yes even by Hayden), pivotal moments, phenomenal soundtrack and amazing action.

2:07 Anakin: Put the ship down! Kenobi: Anakin, you aint supposed to catch feelings for no hoes!

Here after announcing his return for the Obi-Wan series, this is going to be awesome!

ewan and hayden are the best casting choices for anakin and obiwan, couldn't imagine it any other way. hoping to see the both of them back for this alleged obiwan series!

Hayden was great as anakin

Ewan McGregor is an excellent for playing as Obi Wan Kenobi. Ian McDiarmid is an excellent actor for playing as Palpatine.

A boy taught to be emotionless and detachment form his loved ones by old people I think he portrayed perfectly.

Just watching Ewan and Hayden's face as they are filming the fight scenes really shows how into the roles they were. They were so dedicated to making these films the best they could. The originals will always be my favorite, but I really love the prequels and the stories they tell.

Anakin my favorite jedi

Revenge of the Sith Vader is my favourite look for the character

Hayden didn't deserve the hate that he got... It was a new era for CGI and it was hard for actors back then because they weren't used to it... I can never see anyone else play anakin besides Hayden

The one good thing the Disney trilogy did..make us appreciate the prequels more!!

I want more footage of Hayden Christensen wearing the Vader suit :D

I can' help say but.. GOOSEBUMPS ! The intimidating DARTH Vader nostalgia.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker the chosen one? He could keep himself from dying, but not the ones he loved. Except once

Young adult Anakin is the only thing that can pull me to the dark side

The prequels make the 6 movies, they are all one story, the Rise and Fall of Anakin Skywalker, and his Redemption. Take them as one or hand in your fan card, the prequels are an integral part of the Saga!

I would love to see him back as Vader in rogue one.

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!

i think we can all agree hayden is an amazing actor

I am so happy the prequels exist. They made my childhood and as an adult I'm even more appreciative of them. I used to waste so much time defending them to critics but now I'm just grateful to George, Hayden and everyone else for telling such a great story.

I love how they made a darth vader suit and then only use it in one shot at the end

“They were nice enough to build a Darth Vader suit that fit me.” That’s cute. 😂❤️

The dedication from Hayden to this character even as his second counterpart, I admire him for that
