C-3PO isn’t annoying, he’s lovable and funny.
I think I might change my PT answer to Padme… Natalie Portman’s acting in RotS specifically was a whole new level of cringe…
I don’t agree with her being the most annoying, but Natalie absolutely phoned in ROTS. It makes me feel like she saw all the bad reviews for the previous two and just gave up.
Hayden was doing a better job then her in literally every scene (I actually think Hayden did a good job, any lapses in his performance are directing/writing issues). He should’ve gotten top billing since he was literally the main character.
Hayden Christensen clearly had no clue how to play Anakin in AotC, add given Lucas is notorious for not knowing how to work with actors, you have a recipe for disaster. In RotS he had a better grasp of Anakin as a character, and thus losened up and played the role far more naturally. Hayden is the kind of actor who needs guidance from directors.
