I will! I loved the prequels and think they improved upon the music, choreography, and world-building of the originals. I also think Hayden Christiansen did a great job portraying a moody, arrogant teen who was too strong for his own good, and much of the criticism about his performance was unfair because he was supposed to be irrational.
Yeah, Christensen did what he could with the lines he got. The issue was nobody was seriously criticizing Lucas’s writing - he’s a great story guy, but he needs someone saying “no we don’t need the Gungans to speak like a minstrel show George”.
For any hockey fans he reminded me so much of a young Sidney Crosby. Incredibly talented, but just a real whiney bitch about it. It was actually a solid performance in that regard.

If we’re gonna go that route, Rose, Finn, Poe, and Holdo were all perfectly fine because they were written to be dumb, irrational, and have poor communication skills. That’s just how they were written!
Doesn’t change the fact that the sequels were crap. And same goes for the prequels.

Most of the criticism has always been towards the writing. And that’s the only problem you can’t fix by throwing money at talented people.
I don’t like sand. It’s course, and rough, and irritating.

I’m actually a huge hockey fan myself. Hope to see you at !hockey@lemmy.ca.
