I don't even know what films you are talking about! The last SW film came out in May of 83 and it was the weakest of the three.

WRONG!

The last officle Star Wars movie was Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984)!

Best is Liam Neeson

Best major role, Ewen Mc Gregor

JJ · 11-26-2009, 01:47 AM

I wonder who I'd pick,

Steelmaker · 11-26-2009, 03:17 AM

I would've voted for Liam Neeson if he were in the poll. Since he's not, I voted for Ewan McGregor.

Rob J in WNY · 11-26-2009, 03:41 AM

Count me in for Liam Neeson. Although only in Episode III, his acting was the most genuine of all.

Not really, no. But I am truly tired of figthing and arguing with you guys so please go right ahead and hate them to your little heart content, does not prevent me for watching them 5 or 6 times a year and having a great time doing so.

I would have voted for Leslie Nielson if he were in the poll.*

Logan

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.

Same here! I loved Mcgregor's Obi-wan. I was so interested in the character itself and thought he was the main reason the prequels had life to them.

Is 'None' an option???

smith1921 · 11-27-2009, 05:15 AM

portman is the best overall actor of the group but in the series ewan did the best job

khan1670 · 11-27-2009, 03:14 PM

Exactly, Ray Park didn't even deliver the lines himself!! When they needed the lines they put someone else in the makeup and they did it.

Ray Park = stuntman in episode 1

Yeah, I was totally excited when I heard Portman was cast - then she gets lines just horrible lines and has the most wooden performance she has ever given.

I know the lines were bad - but everyone's acting seemed so wooden.

Only in Episode 3 were their glimpes of the actor's true talents.

Neil_Luv's_BLU · 11-27-2009, 04:49 PM

Ian McDiarmid by a long chalk!

The subliminal evil in his eyes throughout Episodes 1 & 2 was terrific! And when he reveals his true nature in ROTS and and becomes the unhinged nihilist Sidious, he plays it with the right amount of menace and theatricality.

Then just don't vote.

And I still find it ironic that everyone criticizes the newer parts for having wooden dialogue and acting, while the older parts were also full of them.

tommyboy81 · 11-27-2009, 07:20 PM

Jake Lloyd hands down.

Don't go there KubrickFan, I've debated this I don't know how many times but everytime it just turn into another endless debate.

No one love's Star Wars like I do, the original trilogy is so cheesie that you could eat nachos of them. But it seem some people refuse to admit this, they are convice they are the second coming or something similar.

I love you.
I know.
Droids don't rip people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
