Christensen isn't a bad actor (he was great working with Hank Azaria in Shattered Glass). Nobody could have saved that direction and dialogue.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
==========
IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta
==========
Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I think the dialogue and direction perfectly captured a shut-in teenage monk trying to flirt with the most attractive woman in the galaxy.
there was a lot cut. the cut parts make it make sense and remove some of the cringe. its not a story that the Jedi would tell
True. Episode 2 had a whole cut sequence where Padme presents Anakin to her family when the two go to Naboo, which adds lots of character to the pair and really drives home how Padme is just as interested in seeing things work as our young jedi.
When did he flirt with Asajj Ventress?
Every time that they fought. She had eyes for Kenobi though

Check out Life as a House if you haven’t seen it. The kid can actually act. Also, that movie may just fuck up your day, so have the tissues prepped.
that was the first thing i saw him in before Ep. II. Then i saw that and was like, "wtf happened?!"
George happened
Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn't a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.
Yeah, not the same look.
But I'll let you have intensity.
That's from the first X-Men. He was definitely more shredded in X-2 or either Wolverine movies.

Trebolone is literally a magic potion, but it's so very bad for you.
I can't say enough nice things about Hayden's return to the role. He nailed it. It's a big performance, he and Rosario have exactly the right chemistry - old trust, new mistrust and a tension between. Those scenes are fantastic, and they strengthen the redemption tale aspect of the overall Skywalker Saga by their addition.
What is he in? This isn't about the Kenobi series is it?
He has cameos in Ahsoka and Kenobi.
Psst there are torrents for both series, pretty active! And you might even get some bytes by me ;)
They mentioned Rosario, likely Dawson, who portrays Ahsoka in the eponymous series.
im also curious but too lazy to google it
Ahsoka, I believe
What is he in? This isn't about the Kenobi series is it?
Not Kenobi. I had forgotten his cameo in Kenobi. It was fine, but kinda forgettable.
Minor spoiler for Ashoka Series
He appears to Ashoka in force ghost form.
it must have been weird for Hayden to return to a role he's synonymous with to put a capstone on a long and emotional story arc that he had nothing to do with, but you never would have been able to tell by the way he sold it
Logan was 2017, so hardly 20+ years.
Well, reprising the original role, if you will.
Fuck, what do you mean it's been 24 years since 2000?
That can't be right, it's clearly only been about 10, right?
Logan was in 2917, not 20 years ago
2917
i think you're off by a bit there...
Im calling the time police
Hello, yeah. Time police.
We'll send someone round last Tuesday.
We'll have sent someone round last Tuesday.
Man, Patrick really doesn't age.
I saw D&W yesterday and I was blown away by the acting Hugh Jackman brought to it. I’ve always been a little skeptical of him as Wolvie because I’m a comic fan and Wolverine is supposed to be small and nasty - not tall and pretty and kind and into musicals. Like Hugh Jackman is. When Hugh Jackman hosted the Oscars it hurt my brain to see him pirouetting and tap dancing and singing.
But after yesterday: fucking respect man. He made Wolverine his. The comic Wolverine is still there and always will be but Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is now legit in its own right in my mind, forever.
The whole film helped honestly the way they costumed him and choreographed his claws-out squats. But he for sure brought every acting chop there is to the close ups. No one will ever take heartfelt acting seriously in a gonzo film like this, but I did. Tear to my eye.
Thank you Mr. Jackman. All the respect.
I don't understand... He already accomplished that earlier this century.

I want a Wolverine musical, dammit!
They actually made one from when he was living in France in the early 1800s. It was before his mutant power's had fully manifested to the point they are in the comics. It's called the Les Miserables.

I loved how they showed how dumb tiny wolverine would have looked.
I'd watch an Anakin/Wolverine show. First half, anakin gets sent to Northern Alberta with nothing but his wits. He meets up with Logan, after a few episodes as rivels they work together and become friends. Second half, they figure out how to get Anakin back and the who the villains who sent him there are. Logan comes with, brcause they are basically be(a)sties now. Logan gets lightsaber claws. Anakin gets even.
Adamantium vs lightsaber - who wins?
Why choose? How about a lightsaber with an adamantium hilt?
And a Wolverine with laser skeleton! Wait...
I think adamantium, will probably behave like Beskar without heating.
Thought wesley snipes didn't do a bad job either. and mother fuckers tryin' ice skate uphill was goddamn excellent
Hugh Jackavan.
