Stephkaye's 25 Favourite Films of All Time

AH, but the same love story scenario was used to make Titantic more interesting. Though, it does detract from Homer's work. But it was just BASED on it, not a full RETELLING of it. Hey, that's why studios were invented, to add and take apart our babies. LOL ;) Stephkaye

GL is famous for such wooden dialogue it's true, but man, you'd probably HATE my dialogue then, cause it's very proper and somewhat I guess you could say just as wooden and corny, but it's a whole nother galaxy, just like SW. Stephkaye

Many say that Hayden was a poor choice for Anakin, and GL had a hard choice, it is said, between two finalists for the part, one being Hayden. They were screen tested with Nat and the chemistry between Nat and Hayden got the good graces of GL. And GL said himself that Hayden had that lingering edge, that underlying darkness that was so crucial to Anakin. You can see that underlying darkness and glimmer of inward confusion in the actor's eyes. And NO I am NOT saying this because he is considered a HEARTTHROB. GL picked him, because he said he has the constant edge of that dark side about him, whereas other guys didnt but could simply turn it on when they needed to. Hayden already possessed it. Even Natalie is reported saying that Hayden was a quiet fellow, and what I mean by this, is that it's usually the quiet ones that possess the qualities to do anything in a role. They are already centred and focused. And Hayden has that sensability about him. He did it exactly how GL wanted him to do it. So if any blame is to be put on anyone, it should be directed toward GL (even though I thought the performances were greatl) because GL told him to do that or accepted the way Hayden did things for the role. It was all true to the character, and it was GL's character and Hayden simply helped him in bringing that "Little boy from Tatooine" to the silver screen once more as a grown man, that was to be the dark lord.

That's true. I remember commenting to my sister, that Annie fell way too easy and way too fast. The whole thing happened in the scene with Mace's death. Now it had some fine moments. The indecision Ann had when Mace and Pal were shooting back and forth, "No he's the traitor! Dont listen to HIM!" That was all good and the disarming Mace was OK, but the thereafter was a bit rushed. Ann was just like "what have i done?" then 2 seconds later its OK TEACH ME!!! I agree. I was expecting the Jedi to find out somehow of their marriage. There wasnt enough hate i think. But the whole "You turned her against me!" at the end before the Ann/Obi clash was believable. I liked that he went against Obi because he thinks he took her away. That IS a good point of his evil-turn and his overpowering anger. I liked it. But what I dont get is why GL didnt leave in the deleted scenes or add more to the Anakin Turns scenes, because, I dont know about every other SW fan out there, but I wouldnt have minded another half hour.
