Unless...
Perhaps Lucas intentionally picked two actors that fans would hate so that when he fell we would cheer the good and jeer the dark. Now when you watch all six films you end up hating every scene with the Empire because of how much of an emo wuss Darth Vader really is.
Bravo Lucas. You made us truly hate cinemas greatest villain.

I actually thought Hayden gave a very good performance in Episode III, compared with Episode II, but I would guess that's because he had much more to do, and so it was easier for him as an actor. In Episode II, he seemed to be in a very uncomportable role because although he could give signs of him heading towards the Dark Side, he wasn't able to give it the full performance.
