this has been making the rounds on reddit and it's the clearest example i've seen

look closely at Anakin and you can easily see him 'morphing' ie taking part of his performance from 2 different takes and merging them together

the lucas "why" retouchin brigade knows no bounds, man

to be fair given how hard it seemingly is to notice at first given the attention being on palpatine, I don't really know if I even mind it. I really just think the technology wasnt there for the amount of control he wanted to have over the whole thing. not that it helped.

It took someone 10 years to notice this, which means Lucas did a damn good job, as far as I'm concerned.

thecouncil · Jan 5, 2016

i absolutely hate lucas for doing that.

I'd have to agree with this.

Alavard · Jan 5, 2016

He went to all that trouble and we still got the 'performance' we did out of Hayden Christensen?

That's not a gif.

Yeah you can't really fault him. The fact that this was so well done that it hasn't been noticed till now is astounding

Truly a horrible crime

ShutterMunster · Jan 5, 2016

There's a ton of this in FURY ROAD. It happens. More proof that Hayden wasn't capable of giving him one good damn take (though not entirely his fault, the script was POOP).

I noticed it when I saw it in theaters...

I just never rewatched the terrible movie again to make a post about it.

Congrats! You're aboit it...if youre being honest.

I dont see it. Seems kinda natural to be fair.

Daedardus · Jan 5, 2016

Isn't that just him moving his chin down to his chest? Doesn't look all too unnatural to me.

FullMetalx117 · Jan 5, 2016

Im trying really really really really hard to see something

Real Hero · Jan 5, 2016

I never noticed it so I don't care. The one thing I did notice is darth mauls lightsabre handle growing , that one sucks.

jesu · Jan 5, 2016

It's Midichlorians reshaping his face.

dity · Jan 5, 2016

Oh goodness, it took me a few watches but now I can't unsee it. I thought that he was just tilting his head.

Hayden Christensen's acting wasn't really bad when he wasn't talking, the problem is to sell the shitty writing you need a phenomenal actor and sadly Hayden wasn't but I can't knock him for being unable to sell the bs writing

Like I said the reddit thread, it is very act when your director (who's not even a good director, tbh)is micromanaging.
The frame clipping apparently angered some people who worked on The Phantom Menace.

It took 10 years because everyone fell asleep during this scene

/s

But really, now that I see it I can't unsee it

Has George Lucas gone too far?

ElectricBlanketFire · Jan 5, 2016

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rou

rootbeerafloat · Jan 5, 2016

If you watch the hair it's really obvious.

This is way down there on the list of things to hold against Lucas.

That ESB shit just ruined my whole life.

hirokazu · Jan 5, 2016

Y'all just gonna complain about anything to do with the prequels any chance you get, right?

Drencrom · Jan 5, 2016

Lucas leaving small easter eggs like this and the whole Jar Jar being a sith thing just cements what a genius he is!

cyba89 · Jan 5, 2016

Should I be outraged about this?

Gnub · Jan 5, 2016

Taking too long for the animorphs post.

I have no problem with this new form of Directing.

I see this and rock and rolling all the time but didn't know they had actual terms. Cool.

funkystudent · Jan 5, 2016

Didnt realise he went that far with that stuff.

I remember a interview where Ewan McGregor mentioned he was surprised to see his character say lines he never actually performance. It turned out they edited together different performances and takes to create new lines for him without having him perform them. Didnt realise he would do it with video.

Kind of impressive if its there but only really being noticed now. For the most part the special effects in Episode 2 and 3 have aged horribly but thats pretty subtle.

Watch Anakin's bangs, that's were it's the most noticeable.

It is impressive editing, that's for sure.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
