True. Episode 2 had a whole cut sequence where Padme presents Anakin to her family when the two go to Naboo, which adds lots of character to the pair and really drives home how Padme is just as interested in seeing things work as our young jedi.
Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn’t a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.
Christensen isn’t a bad actor (he was great working with Hank Azaria in Shattered Glass). Nobody could have saved that direction and dialogue.
I think the dialogue and direction perfectly captured a shut-in teenage monk trying to flirt with the most attractive woman in the galaxy.
Same! I never understood the criticism. Yeah, all of his dialogues are awkward. But they perfectly fit his character.
there was a lot cut. the cut parts make it make sense and remove some of the cringe. its not a story that the Jedi would tell

When did he flirt with Asajj Ventress?
Every time that they fought. She had eyes for Kenobi though
Check out Life as a House if you haven’t seen it. The kid can actually act. Also, that movie may just fuck up your day, so have the tissues prepped.
that was the first thing i saw him in before Ep. II. Then i saw that and was like, “wtf happened?!”
George happened
