i voted christopher lee as count dooku, he didnt have the biggest part, but i thought his performance was great

Ewan McGregor. He's the only reason I sometime want to re-watch the Prequels. As much as I like Liam Neeson, I thought he was too stoic but I know that's not his fault. I just think that McGregor was perfectly cast as the young Obi-Wan, he really made the connection to Alec Guiness plus he was one of the few with multiple expressions and didn't sound constipated. His character was also interesting--I wanted to know more about Obi-Wan than about Anakin. His was just the most balanced character and also the most balanced performance.

Hayden Christensen should've been nominated for an Oscar. His role in the last 2 films have inspired millions of people to get into acting. He's also a master teacher at "Marky" Mark Wahlberg's School Of Acting Skillz.

Creating a compelling character isn't necessarily about how many lines of dialogue the character has. Many people thought he was a cool villain, I did too.

I hated Hayden Christensen... made Darth Vader look like a joke, haha.

Al_The_Strange · 11-25-2009, 07:56 AM

I voted on Ewan McGregor. He is a quality actor playing a quality role.

I kinda like Hayden Christiansen; he voice, looks, and attitude remind me a bit of James Dean. But his acting is a bit hit-and-miss, and so has his career.

Everybody else is not bad.

Qui-Gon ?

I went with Ray Park because he only had like 2 lines.

I'm just bitter about the NT. I expected more.

uziel5000 · 11-25-2009, 12:47 PM

Since Liam Neeson isn't on the list I'm gonna go with Ewan.

That is for best actor. For coolest character Ray Park playing Darth Maul no contest!

Braktastic · 11-25-2009, 12:58 PM

Since: 'Trick Question! There's no acting in the Star Wars prequels' was not an option, I'm going to have to say Ian McDiarmid, followed by Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor.

Elvis like's to be in every Star Wars prequel thread to remind us how terrible they are and how we should all hate them like he does

J. J. Hunsecker · 11-26-2009, 12:14 AM

They all seemed pretty wooden in those films. I went with Ewan McGregor, since he at least showed some emotion in the third prequel, in the scene where Anakin Skywalker's limbs are burnt off.

Well, he's right in this case.

Q? · 11-26-2009, 12:18 AM

Natalie Portman, because I think she's beautiful.
That's why.
