TPM Anakin, AotC Anakin, RotS Anakin
This is almost a thread idea, but it will work here…
Which of these is the worst Anakin?
That’s a tough call. I’m tempted to say TPM Anakin but then I think about how Christensen is an older actor and should have done a better job. I mean, whose fault is it that Little Annie was such a lame character? Certainly not the kid, he was like nine years old or something …then again, can Christensen even be blamed? He’s not an inherently bad actor (I don’t think, I’m not sure) so blame would fall on the writers, directors and whoever cast him for that particular role.
"[Christensen] said, ‘I don’t want to be this whiny kid.’ I said, ‘Well you are. You gotta be a whiny teenager.’ He said, ‘I want to be Darth Vader.’ I said, ‘You gotta be a petulant young Jedi. You’re not going to be the guy you thought you’d be when you signed your contract.’
