  • yes i would...yes i would....

  • I am totally in love with obi wan, he is the only white guy that I will ever fall in love with! ^^

  • Wow... I just remembered how much I loved Star Wars. I gotta meet all these actors someday.

  • its so sad =(( Anakin turning to the dark side =(((

  • @NileyLove23 Yeah...one of the most tragic characters I've ever seen in movies.

  • @NileyLove23 and murdered a bunch of 9-12 year olds

  • Please people , the prequel where awsome , com on , open your eyes !

  • Haha yoda looks so fucked up in episode one! ...like an umpa lumpa is trying to bust out of him.....

  • he is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo hot

  • ROTS was crap. Lucas said back in 99 oh u cant guess how he turns and it's sumthing out this world. what a load of crap. the reason he turned was shit. plus when he goes to the dark side padme dies. so he shud've cam back as a jedi cuz there was nothing there 4 him left in the dark side. the reason he turns just wasnt convincing enough. plus it was meant to be big at the box office and should have made a bn. but it didn't even get that. return of the king and HP2 did. ROTS was shit

  • @MJFANSINCE1989 There was nothing for him to return to. He had a hand in helping destroy every single Jedi. The only thing he had left was the Emperor and the power. Otherwise he would have been left with absolutely nothing. You can't return and be a Jedi if there were no Jedi to return to. And it was a convincing turn; he was trying to save someone he loved, and his unborn children. It's not like he knew that what he was doing would eventually turn out to be the thing that killed her. 

  • @dannielleyful - yep u make a good point. I didn't look at it that way lol. It's just that when George Lucas said back in 99 that the turn would be so mind blowing and u could never guess it. (some fans did guess right). Me personally i could understand him wanting to save Padme. But the turn for me wasn't enough to make him evil like he is in the original sta wars. I know a lot of fans weren't satisfies with the turn. But where all entitled to our opinions :)

  • @MJFANSINCE1989

    After everything that he did to save someone he loved, then to be told "Lied to" that he was the one that killed her. There was absolutely nothing for Anakin to turn back to.

  • @MgoMSx - yeah i see ur point. He could have returned to yoda. I mean yoda didn't treat him bad.or he could have made up with obi won. when padme tries to make anakin turn back because she knows theres good in him but then realises she cant help him and decides to walk away. anakin thinks that obi won made padme move away so quickly. which i found silly. anakin and obi won were so close. anakin should've known obi won would never betray him.

  • @MJFANSINCE1989 Anakin still wanted power, still wanted to make the Universe in his image and rule it. He told this to Padme shortly before choking her. If he turned to the Light Side at the last second he'd have no chance. Palpatine only needs to use Lightning on him for 2-5 minutes and if he's not dead, he's near dead. Anakin never displayed the ability to repel lightning and he was almost all machine. He would've been killed.

  • OMG 1:06 HES PREGNANT! HAYDEN'S PREGNANT

  • I'm surprised that he's Canadian.!!! And he's so hot!!!

  • Hayden baby you're so fine!!!!

  • The line writing was horrible, yes, but Hayden's acting was also subpar. I'm sure he's a fine actor but he was not encouraged to give his best in the movies. I blame it on the director andd the writers, but on the actor as well.

  • 5:13, they put the theme from Shadows of the Empire in there.

  • just because hayden isnt those screwed up douchebags zac efron and shit doesnt mean yo' all gotta be like all hatin' on him. Hes one of the greate actors who get trushed aside just because he has a normal acting life. Who acts and at the same time has a peaceful life. Not a life chased by fucked up paparazzis

  • Hayden is not a bad actor but the line writing in the last episode sucked. Sometimes I really did'nt know if I should laugh or cry or cry out in laughter

  • 1:22 "There's always this little part of you that's asking What am I doing?"

    We've been asking you that for years, George.

  • I always liked Hayden. I enjoyed him as young Skywalker. This was one of my favorite webisodes.

  • I like Hayden in some of the movies he has played. He has that actual sense of darkness in him. The look he gives mirrors it perfectly. The seriousness, anger, hate. Its all there naturally to him. I think he is not as bad as people want him to be. I give him respect for his roles in these films.

  • In Episode III, Hayden convinced with his role as Anakin. He is a great actor, who can play dark characters as nobody else can.

  • 4:56 Hmmm, dialogue coach. So, you're to blame for all the shitty dialogue in the prequal trilogy???

  • They did as good a job of acting as Luke talking about power converters, Leia's only you could be so bold or Han's laugh it up fuzzball. Some would say better.

  • He definitely has the look but he just wasn't great in the movies. I'd blame the directing more since alot of the actors, who are usually great, just gave wooden performances.

  • i hope, when making these three movies, there was a little part of george lucas saying "what am i doing??"

  • look at those sticks

  • Ok, everyones bashing George Lucas' writing or Hayden's acting, but frankly, no one originally watched these movies as kids and thought "wow, what a stupid line", they thought "OMG ITS A SPACESHIP AND LASERS AND OOH I WANT TO BE A JEDI, WOAH LIGHTSABER DUEL!" Star Wars isn't about the lines, it's about the incredible imagination of George Lucas and unlocking the geek in all of us.

  • @PotterGal394 Actually with Attack of the Clones,I kinda did. Mostly becuase at age nine,...who wants romace scenes? I wanted more battles,more fighting,more arguing,..not a dumb talk about sand or water or how sexy Portman is.

    To this day I still hate those scenes[for deeper reasons] and still respect Phantom Menace more just becuase as a kid,it had more fight scenes and the pod race.

  • @Warriorcats64 very true, but frankly, i just fast-forwarded past those scenes. but sometimes i watched them to watch Hayden, because, after all, I'm a girl, and no one can deny his good looks (or resist them for that matter). idk, when I watched the movies I barely even understood/cared about even the storyline so i just zoned out when I wanted to...but thats just me

  • Hayden is way better then the punk who play Anakin in The Phantom Menace

  • i think hayden was gr8!

  • Great video.

  • all this adulation and ass kissing of Hayden is making me sick! *spuuuu*

  • He's not a good actor. He played Anakin so whiny and bitchy...though George Lucas's often shitty dialogue writing didn't help...

  • 2:12 i like how Gigantor there nods his head "yea yea lucas we all know you have no fucking clue wat youre saying..."

  • 5:48 blue screen :( ....5:54 a real set :)

  • Fuck he's such a terrible actor :)

  • That's funny =D

    5:13

  • I'm inclined to believe that Christensen actually nailed Darth Vader . Think about it: how many evil people in history must have acted like whiny little kids? There is no real "epicness" to the kind of darkness that Vader possesses - it's petty and even embarrassing for him. He doesn't often realize this because he's so consumed by his selfish desires, and his obsession manifests (for good reasons) as immaturity. In the end, he gets what he wants... and it destroys the people he loves the most.

  • So if this is the story of how he became Vader than why did you make him a bad evil person from the start George?

  • @12skolvikings how was he bad and evil from the start? His passion for Padme and his mother turned him to the dark side when he lost his mother and felt he was losing Padme. The dark side then poisoned his mind almost entirely and the death of Padme made him a full Sith

  • @yomama629 o yea killing children plus he yells at everyone I would have acceted that later like in episode 3 which they did but they put it in the 2nd movie he was origanly a kind noble jedi but making him like that from the start ruined his character and yes I understand he would be upset over his mom's death but did he really think killing children would make it better?

  • @12skolvikings that's not haydens fault. it's Lucas fault

  • @TheWizardOfLp I agree 100% with that Hayden did a fine job with what was given to him but Lucas screwed it up same with Samual L Jackson, Natalie Portman and Ewan they are all fine actors but Lucas wrote their characters so bad

  • i hate sand

  • 3:44 lol i like how ewan fake punches hayden then they just walk off all buddyie :D

  • i can understand being a fan but hayden really is a shit actor. no chemistry with that girl either

  • @radelta No he isn't. It's hardly ever the actor. It's the movies

  • 1:22 Lucas explaining the story of Episode 3 makes it sound even more stupid.

  • i still wanna know how they made the very graphic burning scene

  • aww hes got the smile of a little boy i love it!

  • @MissSamira59 zac is not a playboy. sure hayden deserved more credit but zac is not a playboy...why did you even bring him up?

  • whats the song starting from 1:45 to 2:08?

  • @TheDBZKai100 I think it's from episode 2 but I might be wrong,it's been a long time since I was listening to the soundtrack

  • @MarekPick

    i know that, i just

    don't know the name.

  • @TheDBZKai100 just a moment I'll look it up for you

  • @TheDBZKai100 And it is "The Tusken Camp And The Homestead" and the part from the video is on 5:14 while the track's lenght is 5:54. For me that would be a disappointment but you may like the rest of the track.

  • "There's always this other side of you saying 'WHAT am I DOING'". THAT's why Star Wars is the best story. Conflict everywhere, even within the characters. Behind their faces, it comes out.

  • What is the song that plays from 5:44 - 6:14 ??

  • @TheresNoHappyEnd the piece of music from Return of the Jedi when Luke goes crazy on Vader. Right after Vader says "If you won't turn to the darkside, then perhaps she will"

  • Hayden is good!!! It was the script that was whack!

  • I dont think he's a bad actor. I actually blame the writing. How can you pull off a line about sand and not sound bland? It's fucking impossible!

  • @Spore6001 The scene in episode II was amazing

  • 5:36 vagina

  • Anakin "likes" killing everybody in Episode 3? He hesitated killing Dooku the first time Palpatine ordered him..

  • Hayden is not a bad actor. He's simple, natural and he did almost every cascade scenes.

    I think some people don't take him seriously because his good looking even VERY good looking, And except star wars, the movies he's acted in are mostly bad movies, he deserves better.

    Hayden is not a playboy like Zac Efron , Taylor Lautner or Pattinson, his more natural than those superficial suckers.

  • @MissSamira59 Pattinson is down to earth as Hayden, Lautner is a kid, and Efron is in fact a playboy.

  • @MissSamira59 Jumper was a great movie

  • @MissSamira59 Hayden's performance in these movies always leaves me puzzled... and I think I know why. See, he nailed the visuals perfectly in every scene. He was right on the money. Every gesture, every facial expression... perfect. But then he speaks... and it's just too monotone. He shows so much passion and emotion but he just doesn't deliver it through his voice. That's the feeling I get from watching his performance in Ep2 and Ep3, at least.

  • @MissSamira59 Hayden is a pretty damn good actor. His emotional scenes were very good and his scenes of hatred and agony in Episode III were just phenomenal.

  • @MissSamira59 Hayden was better looking and healthier than Mark Hamill. Episode 5 revealed that Mark Hamill was not muscular. I believe Hayden did a wonderful job. It is clear to everyone he did a better job than Jake Lloyd. By the way, how disturbing is it that Ian McDiarmid looks like Richard Dawkins LOL!

  • i dont blame his acting, i blame the damn script

  • @pimpinspartan what was wrong with the script? O_o.. did any lines contradict something before or is it no one liked it?

  • @hurricanesofhell well for one, it was really really boring. the only part i remember when it contradicted itself was ep2 where padme fell of that clone ship and she said we need to get to that hanger, but no one knew that there was a hanger in the first place...

  • @pimpinspartan the lines were boring? :( it wasn't that bad..

  • @hurricanesofhell well you must have low standards

  • @pimpinspartan what does standards mean? xD lol

  • @hurricanesofhell you expect it to have a certain level of good before you watch it

  • @pimpinspartan so i can see the ending? and how it will be before i see it? O_o..

  • @hurricanesofhell i feel like tehre is a huge languige barrier between us

  • @pimpinspartan O_O.. threat??!...... o_o who's tehre?

  • @hurricanesofhell yeh i feels like we shoulds stops talking

  • I reckon he's definitely not the best actor in the world...but he's miles better than most actors of his generation. People like Robert Pattinson, Alex Pettyfer and Zac Efron haven't got shit on this guy, and yet he still manages to get razzies for both star wars films he did...BULLSHIT!

  • @kiren77 Thats His Arms :P

  • I thought about it and i really didn't like heyden's acting, he came across as nothing less then a child, he didn't feel right at all, he looks more like he was scripted to make the girls blush and that was the motivational part behind it and i have nothing against guys who are good looking on screen i couldn't care less but it seems that took more importance then good acting, the character of Anakin played by this actor wasn't very interesting and had little personality unlike Mark Hamill.

  • I think he played the part amazingly and its a shame we haven't seen more from him. It's like actors who have their first big part in a star wars film never get other big parts after.

  • 1:06 why is the bad guy pregnant

  • @kiren77 blame sidious

  • I would go to the Dark side with him any time!

  • @TheThrashoholic inappropriate??! O_O) ...BBWWAHH *barfs* XP

  • unfoutunally after this film no one ever used him for more intresting roles

  • is it wrong to love him even when he went all darkside. Love the torpiaz eyes though, amazin. I was never really a great fan of stars wars really before but after watchin the revenge of the sith. I went mental and ofcourse he was my fav actor, so I went into a new epic level of geekish-ness. and bought all stars wars movie. gotta say, i'm impressed, so wonder who will get me outa of it. didnt work on start treck, wont work on this

  • @08meggie Oh my goodness, me too! I became a huge fan after this one. And now I find myself on ebay buying a darth vader plush, and a hayden poster type thing. My siblings are still surprised at how fanatic I became after ep.2 and 3 haha. AND no its not wrong to love him! Its like people in everyday life, you love them, but you just don't love the choices they have made.

  • Hayden worked so hard on his character that not only do the Jedi hate him, but even humans from Earth hate him. That's how realistic Hayden made it seem. He's very good ;)

  • lol, I bet the actor that did all the darth Vader acting in episode 4, 5, and 6 was like :( after this.

  • fear is the path to the dark side

  • @1:07 lol haydens pregnant

  • @Eshayzbra96 lol i wonder what made him look like that...

  • I think that he did the very best he could have, with what Lucas had given him. I think he definitely deserved to be in the darth vader suit to end Episode III but I hate that in the remastered version of Return of the Jedi , Lucas put in Hayden at the end.

  • @Breakfastfan4life did you notice when anakin in the immolation scene O_o.. is sort of burnt and ashy but in the original one's which are the sequels 4-6 to 1-3 xD lol well anyway.. O_O... anakin was pale and his jaw was mechanical? i think..

  • i think he did a decent job. sure hes no oscar winner, but he did and look the part. props to him. i mean u cud totally see the dynamic of his character at the end of the 3rd after obiwan chops him and his is in full fury and rage, hes not remotely anakin anymore

  • the haters never understood the role of anakin, the dark side, or acting in general. fuck em. hayden rules!

  • samuel l jackson is in everything haha

  • 2:58 i never noticed before now that the lightsabers were thinner in a new hope

  • @allanstevenson750 i know, i much prefer that look, wonder why it changed

  • @allanstevenson750 they were thin O_o.. in the fight between obi-wan and darth vader xD lol

  • god this film was shit

  • Hayden Christensen is a brilliant actor, but thanks to Lucas' awful script he never got to show it.

    Just look at 'Life as a House'.

  • I did not like his acting myself seemed plain, but I'll have to say that I can't picture anybody else doing the part better.

  • obEWAN kenobi. 

  • Samuel Jackson should've been Darth Vader.

  • @flyingsuperpetis Lol xD *Anakin slice's obi-wan's hand off* Anakin "Oh im sorry Did i break your concentration?

  • Did I just hear the Shadows Of the Empire theme at 5:12 to 5:25?

  • sees title "Dialogue coach"

    thinks: Ah here's the guy who fucked up an amazingly great movie!

  • @poojar007 they are. Well sorta. There remaking episodes 4 5 and 6 in 2012 I believe

  • No they are Not they are doing a clones wars series which is going to be live action and not animated lucas isnt gonig to make any more episodes there wont be a episode 7 8 9 sadly let alone that bullshit rumour about 2012 Lol.

  • @charlieiscool1000 maybe he ment that they are reamking the series in 3D which they are, and I believe that episodes 4 and 5 are currently slated for 3D release in 2012 but if he meant a ture "remake," then u're right they are not

  • No episode 4 5 6 wont come out in 3D until at least 2014 episode l is coming out first next year they are going to do it in order.

  • they MUST make a new star wars saga!!!!!!!!!

  • I think Hayden played the part perfectly. It's just George Lucas who came up with a story that had plot holes and a script that just had bad dialogue but people can't see or acknowledge that so blame Hayden's acting.

    All of the actors were great, but like some one else pointed out...even actors like Natalie, Ewan had some poor dialogue given to them at times...making them look bad.

  • <333333

  • He looks hot here. I wouldnt say no to the dark side if he'd be raging mad in front of me. It makes him look so hoooot!

  • alot of you guys are haters i love the prequil serious

  • Seriously Everyone Needs To Quit Bashing the Prequel Series. Seriously If The Prequel Series Pisses them off just because of a little bad acting then they're a Happless Fuck

  • I absolutely love Hayden in this movie. I don't see why so many people badmouth his performance. I can't think of any other actor who could've made the transition from good to evil so natural and real like he did. Like Samuel Jackson said, he just gets that look…something just goes on with his face and it's there that you can tell he was perfect for this role. Definitely has that presence of darkness needed to portray Anakin.

  • I'm exactly like hayden

  • i think he did very well, if you pay attention to the video he has undercurrents of anakin already"I wanted to go there from the get go and i didnt understand why i was being asked to hold back" That sounds alot like Anakin

  • Hayden is absolutely not the worst actor ever. There have been many great actors that he doesn't even come close to, but he is the future of this generation's movie actors, and that is something to be proud of.

  • Hayden worst actor ever :-j there are better actors then him and better performance for a Vader character. I can do better then him :P

  • @sweet0mistral are you sure? ok try to do it if you can...personally i think that hayden did a great job in star wars...do the transition to the dark side was difficult and Hayden did it so well! And of course that there ar better actors than him but this doesn't mean that he is the worst actor...

  • Hayden worst  actor ever :-j there are better actors then him and better performance for a Vader character.

  • Hayden did an awesome job in ' Shattered Glass ' ~ thanks for posting this - I enjoyed watching :)

  • Comment removed

  • @deltaA320 yah that's sooo wierd till I realized he was crossing his arms on his stomache

  • Hayden was perfect for this role, hands down. He will ALWAYS be remembered as Anakin.

  • hayden was really good in episode 3, esp the part when he goes to the dark side. the transition was just really natural, instead of being awkward. the depiction of anakin going to the dark side was really more like someone going completely insane and that was the best part of it

  • at 1:06 why is anakin pregnant????!!!!

  • @deltaA320

    I was asking myself the same question. I'm pretty sure he was just crossing his arms xD

  • @MetalGearSTEPH yeah but it looks like he crossing it back? so weird

  • Why wasn't this webisode on the episode 3 dvd?

  • @shadowofbat its on the second disk ;P

  • I think Hayden is a better actor than people give him credit for, but like he said, he was held back from taking the character where he wanted to for a long time, until the end of Revenge of the Sith, really. But when Lucas let him he really gave a powerful performance. It was as much a guy turning to the dark side as it was a guy descending into paranoid, schizophrenic madness. Which was an interesting take on the character.

  • Wait... does he really have long hair for the movie or does he put in hair extensions?... He looks so cool with longer hair and cool eyes! He is a great actor! <3 Him

  • So what do you all think, would you introduce Star Wars to somebody in chronological order, or production order?

    I think I'd personally do chronological.

  • @TuahShinguru production order: first: new Hope, the empire strikes back, and the return of the jedi

    Second: The phantom menace, the attack of the clones, and the revange od the sith.

    I think it's better this because the director planned in this order and and much of star war's fans saw the films in this order ; )1!!

  • @TuahShinguru i watched it 4,5,6,1,2,3 cause thats the way they are meant to be watched. at the end of 6 i was lef thinking, oooh i really want to find out how darth became darth! and it was great watching anakin changing.

  • in my opinion, Lukas needs to create 2 more movies that will show the start of the whole galaxy referring to the Old Republic, showing Yoda in act and Count Doukou becoming a Sith, the Mandalorian Wars and everything before the Phantom Menace.

    The Saga must continue!!

  • I hate it when people have a go about his acting. George Lucas chose him for that part because he obviously thought he was right for the part and if you have a go about Hayden's acting skills then in a way you're having a go at George Lucas for his decision. I think he really portrays the part of Anakin and Darth Vader really well.

  • he's character was a bitch..but the acting was good...

  • does hayden have a problem speaking? or something? because his words come out really slowly. and how cool would it be to say, "yeah, im a lightsaber expert."

  • the emp iz the SHEEEET. I'm a hayden look a like but hes a bad actor in most anything but star wars.

  • i know this is a movie but when i was a kid a few years ago when i loved star wars i never really understood anakin when he turned to the dark side now i think of it and im like "how can such a nice little kid turn into such an evil man." just hear me out like i said its a movie but u get what i mean

  • I love Hayden Christensen. The was absolutely 100% pefect for the role of Anakin Skywalker. The passion and the anger in his eyes was so real. I've never seen an actor get so into his role like Hayden did with Anakin. He became Anakin, and it definately showed on screen.

  • I started crying when that helmet went on, very emotional.

  • I think that being an actor isnt about sword fighting ability but about acting and showing real emotions on a screen.Hayden's change to dark side was so fake and stiff that it destroyed whole film for me. Heth Ledger would be a great Anakin but unfortunately Lucas with age loses his directing skills.

  • @Odys1234 one little thing destroyed an entire movie for you? wow...you're just a hatter..

  • he was great in Episode III.

  • I got goosebumps when I saw them slip the helmet over his head. That's crazy. I bet it was a very surreal moment for him. He isn't my favorite actor in the Star Wars movies (Ewan is) nor is his character my favorite, but I think that he did an amazing job.

  • I like Hayden a little bit more after watching this.

  • completely underrated

  • He was horrible in the second. but his performance in 3 was amazing

  • his acting was very good, it was the writers fault. He was gr8 sword fighter 2

  • Ok, nothing to with this video, but what is that little icon that looks kind of like a soccer ball? It sounds like a bee hive or something.

  • @RKO1492 it's the star wars hyperspace logo

  • @Hockeynut54

    he meant the youtube video button, its for the football world cup that is going on atm.

    its supposed to sound like people cheering, but it does sound like a bee hive lol

  • @RKO1492 my guess is its radio coverage of the world cup, when theres a game on, idk i have'nt pressed it when ones been on yet... and they just have the noise of those fuckin annoying vuvuzela's on repeat when ones not on. I'm not sure though.

  • @RKO1492 Its the icon for the Hyperspace official fan club. and the "Soccer" ball is supposed to be the millenium falcons cockpit.

  • @RKO1492 they had it up there as a thing for the fifa world cup. it  is supposed to be a looped recording of that damn horn thats is just annoying
