Words cannot describe how excited I am to hear that George Lucas has *finally* allowed the original editions of all three Star Wars movies to be released on DVD.
This will finally correct all those fake versions of the movies where Greedo shot first and stupid Hayden Christensen appears as a "Jedi Ghost" during the Yub-Yub song.
I am a Hayden Christensen athiest - I don't believe that movies containing him are real and therefore refuse to watch them. Don't get me wrong, I tried both Episode I and II, but a) he was sooo awful and b) George Lucas can't direct his way out of a paper bag. It's too painful to even consider watching the third - despite all the reports that it sucks the least of the three.
Now I know *exactly* what I want for christmas...

I will be in line to purchase the Star Wars DVD's. You bet!
It's true, the most recent one sucks the least. Don't get me wrong, it still sucks, but it sucks way less than the other two.
But anonymous hit it on the head - it's not that his acting sucked, it is that George Lucas really struggles to write the flowery, more formal language used in the Old Republic (as personified by Ben Kenobi in Episodes I, II, and III) without it starting to sound stilted and annoying.
Even worse is how Lucas' ability to direct actors on how to express emotion while spouting such unnatural drivel fails on sooo many levels. I truly felt that it is not possibile for *any* actor to do so successfully - much less Hayden Christensen. I mean look at what happened to Natalie Portman in those movies compared to stuff like Closer, The Professional, Beautiful Girls, etc.
So I apologise to all you HC fans out there and will rephrase my statement to "I don't hate HC in those movies - I hate what he represents."
There, better?
But now I'm wondering if that wasn't George's fault too...or just Natalie continuously referring to him as "Annie".
