There is a huge difference between a few seconds appearance (which I don’t mind) and a prequel being entirely about the character…
If by “a few seconds” you mean three whole movies, then sure… A few seconds…
I thought you meant TFA appearance. As for PT, yes McGregor did a fine job with acting. However, that unfortunately doesn’t change anything for me. I would by far prefer Obi-Wan’s backstory (and the whole OT backstory) to be left alone.
In general, prequel to any film is inherently doomed to fail as it competes with an imagination of every person that saw the original film.
Yeah. I think the key to a good peek at a character’s past is only thru short little flashbacks. You try to make a whole book on it and it just grates. I don’t know. I think when we’ve all had as long as we’ve had to put our own favorite flavor on how stuff started it’s a pretty mean thing to come along and repave it all. Especially when the actor chosen looks older than Hans did when we first met him. I mean this is gonna be a real stretch.
