This is why, despite Matt Lanter giving overall better performances, I have a soft spot for Matt Lucas as Anakin. He actually tried to sound like Hayden, emphasis on tried.
Hey, I actually think he sounded very similar to Hayden.
He got there a lot of the time, but some of his intonations and grunts didn’t fully connect with me. It’s probably more on my ears than anything else.
Lucasfilm really lucked out in having James Arnold Taylor do a near-perfect “Ewan Kenobi” voice. Maybe a thread ranking voice actors would be a good idea, since we’ve had so many of wildly varying quality.
