Ewan really somehow pulled off his character even under George's non-direction. It makes me even more sorry that he was stuck with such a stupid story... I don't know what that guy ate for breakfast or how much he was getting paid but he rose above the shit he was in and delivered on a level I personally didn't get from anyone else in any of those movies, real emotion, real heart, real intensity. Of course the gusher squad will tell you that everyone acted so stiff and dull like keanu Reeves in the PT because that's just how people back then acted, but all one needs to do is watch Ewan perform to know that that's not true and is just another in a long list of excuses they use to cover up Lucas' bad direction. Ewan deserved some kind of award.
Ian, I think was the only other OT actor besides JEJ and Daniels to return and he was ok except for when he went nuts and became a goofy clown unlimited powaaah . Still he maintained some of the integrity of his OT performance so he's commendable for that...
But JEJ, what the hell happened man? Please tell me that JEJ didn't really come back and that was just some guy trying to impersonate him...
The rest, especially Ahmed Best should be ashamed of themselves.
