Hayden Christensen was the perfect choice to play Anakin.

Anakin was a young kid who grew up in slavery, left his mother behind and ventured into a giant galaxy. He was a kid the entire time, or young adult by ROTS.His whiny, temperamental attitude makes his turn to the dark side even more believable. His emotionless delivery of some lines and overly dramatic of others already shows an internal conflict.Hayden knocked the performance out of the park. He’s believable as a young person with conflict. His entire life he’s been told he’s the Chosen One.He’s been told he can’t have attachments but he does. He couldn’t save his mother and he wasn’t going to lose Padme.Hayden’s performance as Anakin is one of my favorites in Star Wars because it’s a completely believable performance as someone with constant conflict inside who just wants to do what’s right. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2oes2Kx
