With a fan base like Star Wars it’s not surprising

I’ve been saying this for 20 years: Hayden Christensen played the part of a whiny, arrogant, impulsive, morally tormented young Jedi extremely well. The clunky dialogue and other failings of the prequels were on George. The fans got it wrong for a long time, and I’m glad so many people have come around.

It's so weird because Anakin is the tragedy of a precocious youth undone by his ambition and immaturity (and the influence of an evil man) and people got mad because that's what was portrayed. He's the bad guy!

@@saucyduckglobalomnihyperme7510 It was never, in my opinion, about Hayden. I feel like it was more about the quality of the dialogue he was given. I think that is evidenced by how well received Matt Lanter's Clone Wars take on Hayden's Anakin. Also by how people have turned around on their rather uncharitable critiques and their treatment of the actors in the prequels, myself included. As I grew up and out of the reach of that fandom, saw how insular and toxic it could be, I was able to enjoy Star Wars for what it was and what the intent was, rather than get all wrapped up in my own expectations and nostalgia-bating as a middle-aged nerd. I think his scenes in Obi-Wan and Ahsoka were standouts in both series; he has matured as a performer and just as person. As some one who still has a hard time watching the Prequels, I really dug that he seemed to do enough research into Clone Wars Anakin and I really liked his rendition in live action. I hope they find more excuses to bring him back because he was great. I find it very sad that the toxic and vocal part of the fandom is most of what we hear nowadays with their review bombs and scathing critiques when in their totality the Twitter warriors have never created a thing worth spending braincells watching.

Same for Breaking Bad, and may other great shows. Everything is less polarizing in the media space now, and the only people that are not with the program, are helpless losers.

@@surfboarding5058 so I sound like anakin? Um thanks?

How can you not love Hayden? Such a down to earth and nice guy. I grew up in the 90s / 00s and absolutely loved him as anakin, one of my all time favorite characters. You watch the modern Disney era Star Wars and watch the prequels and its night and day, the new stuff doesn’t hit the same.

Episode 3 remains my favorite movie. Haydens anakin IS anakin. Cant imagine any other actor playing the role as perfectly as he does.

He's so genuine and deserves his long-awaited respect

We’ve all sinned, trust in Jesus and that he died for our sins on the cross. Our works can’t save us but Jesus can! Much love.

Someone so calm and collected playing an emotional wreck is great.

Calm and collected people are emotional wrecks on the inside

Imagine going somewhere in public and seeing Anakin and Obi-Wan just casually hanging out as buddies. That would be livid.

Seriously fuggin love this dude, what a down to earth nice human. Deserves all the love he's finally receiving.

He was right when he was with Ewan. As fans we loved the prequels but we were kids so our voices were not heard, just older guys writing journals and magazines and newspapers. WE always loved and appreciated them and you Hayden!

Hayden Christensen is truly one of the most humble and kind people in Star Wars and among SW fans. We actually got to see him at a Convention, he's super chill. It's unfortunate that the timing of him finally getting the recognition he deserves coincides with them releasing lore-breaking storytelling. I hope people keep giving him his due despite the other things happening around him in the franchise.

Such a great guy! Love seeing him get the love he deserves!

Hayden Christensen and Brendan Fraser need to do a film together! They give off such positive energy.

Hayden is the Man. He didn't deserve the hate he got. I am glad he is doing well. Wish him the best

The writing deserves the hate. He is merely the contracted actor and could only do so much with what he was given and told to do with it. The money and future career prospects made taking the role essential though. He may or may not have made it without this and, obviously, does not regret it.

Omg Jumpeeer! That's a badass movie! The last part and his acting was fantastic in it! The way he played the glitching of not being able to jump AMAZING.

So happy he is back in the star wars universe. He nails Anakin and the prequels was great. I never really understood why people didn’t like it. I loved it. Great to see you Hayden!

I never understood it either and all I had to watch was the original trilogy many years before we even got an Episode 1. I grew up with the originals and Revenge of the Sith is still my favorite.

This video made me really happy. It broke my heart when I got back into Star Wars a few years ago and learned about all the hate he got for playing Anakin. I was too young to be on the internet at the time so I never knew about the hate he received and thought everyone loved him as Anakin as much as I did. I must’ve watched Revenge of the Sith 12 times the first week I got it on DVD for Christmas in 2005. Great to see he’s now seeing how appreciated he actually was to so many of us in our childhoods. Man is a treasure.

I HAD THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON HIM EVER AND MAN HE'S STILL LOOKING GOOOOOOD

I even wish i had a friend like him, personality wise.

He's always been one of my favorites, even during the intense vitriol people had during the prequels. It warms my heart to see how he's getting the love he always deserved.

Ive always believed that its such a shame people only give people their flowers once their gone. Im unbelievably happy to see Hayden Christianson finally getting his flowers, especially while he's still here.

He was such underrated actor. I'm glad he's back as Anakin

this man needs to be respected more.

I really hope this man gets a resurgence like Brendan Fraser!

You'll always be our Anakin. And we never underestimated your power.

About time this great human being who is the center of the star wars universe is getting his way past due recognition

Seems like a very chill, laid-back kind of guy, not unlike his cinematic son, Mark Hamill.

It breaks my heart that this man was so beaten down by the toxicity of “fans” back in the day that he’s lived a life so off the radar for 2 decades that he’s never gotten on any kind of social media or gone to conventions so he’s never known or seen that a vast majority of fans actually love him and missed him

he seems so nice omg

I hope he knows just how much people love him

Love that he mentioned his brief role in In the Mouth of Madness, one of my favorite John Carpenter movies

He's probably not the only actor who can say he's worked with John Carpenter & George Lucas but it can't be a very large group.

I've been loving this man for 22 years now and I'm so glad that people finally recognized his talent! Our amazing Anakin Skywalker 💗

It just feels surreal to see him older. everyone has aged of course but he's one that doesn't compute for some reason

so happy that he's back, never deserved the hate

I can’t imagine anyone else bringing Anakin Skywalker to life like Hayden did!
