who is the best star wars actor (Page 3 of 4)

I agree. They were good... teehee.. I liked Harrison Fords expressions.

True, nothing like a good burning to spoil your looks.

Harrison Ford was one of the best up there along with James Earl Jones as Vader

Yeah it was disappointing to have all that talent but completely under utilizing them. Samuel L Jackson didn't get much to act with so I can't say he had a standout performance or anything and IIRC Liam Neeson even said that he didn't try as hard as he could have because of what he had to work with

Yeah, Ewan McGregor is an awesome actor but the writing was just so horrible in the prequels and the fact that it was all green screen and everything etc. The movies had the potential to be so much better with so many great people

It's kinda weird.  As BAD Bad badbadbad as the writing was for 'Annie,' I always thought McGregor's line's and delivery were pretty darn good.  It was as if each actor in the prequals had their own writer, and they just mashed it all together for each scene.  For instance, everybody's lines were actually pretty decent in Ep. I, but you've got Anikan doing his own creepy little 'I'm 8 and I'm in love with a 14 year old,' and then you've got all the Gungans seemingly being written for by the Barney the Purple Dinosaur team.  Kinda weird looking back on it...

You mean the best in the prequel trilogy right?

I dunno man, I'd agree with the delivery but the writing all seemed pretty terribad/cheesy in the prequels

ha who uses terribad? that is so 2005 or whenever it was made up.

also, ewan mcgregor wasn't cheesy IMO. to each his own, i like the prequels, so it's not really cheesy to me.

Well, that falls into my point.  It almost seemed as if there was a writer for each actor.  Damn near ALL of Anikan's lines were cheesy beond words; your examples highlighting the many that were out there..

"If you're not with me........ then YOU ARE MY ENEMY!"  crappy line and even worse delivery.  I'll give it to him that he was better in Ep. III both in look and sometimes in lines; his deliveries and lines in Ep. II were just aweful throughout.

But I never thought Obi-Wan's line were ever that bad.  And if there were any his delivery was so good that it covered them up.  Same with many other actors.  Christopher Lee's lines were all great, Sam. L's lines were stereotypical of most of the characters he plays, but they were never the less good and well delivered, and most of the other noteable characters were well written for, or at least I believe they were

Unfortunatly he failed.

The mission was to show us what created the monster we experienced in the OT.  What he did was rewrite one of our favorite and most memorable characters into a whining wuss. 

Lucas did manage to give us some new characters and give great backstories on a couple of the old characters (Obi-Wan and the Emperor), but again, the whole point of the prequals was to explain Anikan.  With that in mind I think the Prequals failed, because the one character who was supposed to be built up and given a level of sympathy for was the second most annoying character in the series, and most of us probably cheered when Obi-Wan lopped him to bits so that he'd finally shut up and stop acting like a sniviling teenager

That's my take

i like temeura morrison only because he played jango fett

he's not a terrible actor, he just wasn't really the Fett type. but he had the look.

i like to see Alex Borstein's performance in this.
