Was Sebastian Shaw the wrong choice for Anakin? — Page 2

It’s such a weird idea that the actor they chose as the face of Anakin Skywalker is ‘wrong’ because of movies made afterwards. Sebastian Shaw works for the Anakin Skywalker of the OT where he was a contemporary of Obi-wan, a relic of a bygone age.

The right question here is whether or not the prequels are wrong, since their continuity is contingent on the OT, and in this case it’s pretty clear that they contradict the established canon of the OT.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

I think Shaw worked for what he was being used for.

I’m not really that much of a movie purist. I really should’ve thought my name out a bit more.
