What better way to kick off StarWarsDay than with a good old-fashioned defence of Hayden Christensen?
For starters, it’s worth drawing attention to Christensen’s career prior to his appearance inThe Vancouver-born actor made his debut at just 12 years old on a Canadian TV series,, which led to minor roles in movies throughout the late ‘90s, the most notable being Sofia Coppola’sHigher Ground
"For Anakin, the role is so innate, the actor has to connect with it,” Gurland is quoted as saying, “but by the end of [the interview], I just knew that Anakin had walked in the door.”In fairness, Christensen’s selection over 1,499 other prospective Anakins has little bearing on whether he proved himself a talented performer in that casting call.
Anakin is a lost boy, a naïve prodigy exploited by a power he doesn’t fully understand, and the entire Mustafar sequence – right up until Obi-Wan gets the high ground – is the best showcase of Christensen’s ability to portray him as such. Sure, his moody eyes help a lot in that regard, but Christensen doesn’t get the credit he deserves for being a genuinely impressive emotional performer.
