Hayden is actually starting to sound like his Clone Wars counterpart, Matt Lanter. While that's age making his voice deeper, I think it fits perfectly for Anakin.

Hayden and his performance is the actual template for Anakin. Matt did great, but he was only modeling Hayden’s performance and making necessary adjustments to adapt it to long-form animation. Matt is great, but Hayden is the real Anakin.

Hayden didn’t watch clone wars and Rebels to prepare for the kenobi show, it was for the ahsoka show, cause he’s got some mindblowingly emotional scenes with Ahsoka in that show, and now possibly in Dave’s movie too. For instance, somebody ask him “I’d love to see a what if scenario through the world between worlds of Ahsoka fighting Anakin on mustafar instead of Obi-Wan, what do you think about that, and how do you think that would play out?” Now watch him get nervous very quickly… :)

[@ytuser_3122]

I’m surprised to learn Ewan was the one who asked for Hayden to return for this series, I thought Ewan would’ve forgotten all about him after the Revenge Of The Sith premiere! So heartwarming to hear they’re as close as they were 20 years ago.

[@4deleDaz33m]

@@ytuser_3122 in my eyes, Hayden did his best with what the material he was given in the prequels. He didn't deserved the hate that he got for playing the role. As an actor, he was simply following what the script and the director told him to do. If you have seen Shattered Glass, you know that Hayden has the potential to be a good actor if the material and dialogue for his character was better. This is his moment, it's his comeback. And apparently Ewan is an executive producer of this series so I'm sure he has a big responsibility for the series too, offers what's the best of this series need. Hopefully Hollywood offers him more great scripts to work with, he deserves more great roles than just being in Star Wars

Looking back, he did an really good job, all things considered, especially in Revenge of the the Sith.

As a writer myself I agree completely. The love story between Anakin and Padme was awful, totally unrealistic, not believable in the slightest and just looked fake as hell.

To see the two of them walk out onto stage, Ewan in a classy brown and white attire and Hayden in a black suit, makes me think it was either planned or they have adopted the styles and become modernized versions of their characters. Truly wonderful either way

[@im3phirebird81]

I liked the prequels at the time, and I like them now. What came after is an entirely different topic.

[@shreks_loins3963]

When Ewan said that the prequels were made for a different generation that didn’t have so much of a voice, I felt that. My self and countless others were that generation, I remember going to see all three episodes at the movies. I especially remember going to the midnight release of Episode III with my toy Anakin Skywalker lightsaber, the theater was absolutely packed! We had gotten there 1 hour early, just to get seats. I never even knew that Hayden received so much hate for his role as Anakin until about few years ago and it baffled me. To me and many others, he is Anakin, just as Ewan is Obi-Wan. I’m overjoyed that the duo is back together making Star Wars again

[@ObiHottieWanKenobi]

Yep, one of the first movies I saw in theaters was Phantom Menace. I still remember being blown away by the pod race scene and then when Obi cut Maul in half I gasped . Loved it.

[@rebeccaadorni1862]

I'm sad to say I think it was the original trilogy "fans" that loaded the hate onto him :-( That was my generation .... but I saw the prequels as an adult and loved them, I ignored all that stuff. I am very relieved to see that time is showing the love he deserves. I think he was a great Anakin.

Y'all please let's not let those toxic fans get to Hayden again. He doesn't deserve it, he did amazing ❤

[@chopper20210]

When Obi Wan said the prequels were made for a different generation it hit me. I watched the original trilogy in early grade school and got to watch all 3 prequels in the time between grade school and high school and I loved them. When I talk to people 10+ years older then me they were annoyed by the prequels and how "childish" they were but now I get it. I was just the right age at the right time.

[@skull1161]

I'm in a bit different of an age group than you but I've seen the same thing happen. Basically I started on the clone wars as my first introduction to star wars. I was in elementary and middle school as the show was coming out on Netflix, and finished the series before even watching A New Hope. So I started the series knowing vaguely who Darth Vader is and Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, etc, because I also played the different Lego star wars games. I watched the first 6 seasons of TCW over and over, countless times back in I'd say 2010-2014. All before even watching ANH. And back then people hated TCW, hated Ahsoka and hated the childish animation. Now people look back and realize TCW is kind of the glue that holds the prequels together, watching the prequels 3 in a row leaves a little to be desired because these time gaps are huge. But when you get the trio of Kenobi, Anakin, and Ahsoka for so many episodes it just makes sense that Anakin does what he does. It provides a huge backbone to their dynamic. I mean think about it, the prequels are about a week's glimpse into Anakin's life each movie, it's hard to be convinced he turned into Darth Vader in that amount of time.

[@CreateAmazment]

I can only imagine how this feels for them. To have the prequels hated for so long, and then more than 20 years later they can finally come back and have a huge crowd of people cheering for them. Especially Hayden, he got so much hate for his portrayal of Anakin, I'm glad he's finally getting the love and recognition he deserves
