It sucks that everyone tore him to pieces over that performance. Natalie Portman is a gifted actor and you would never know it if you only saw her in those movies. You can't blame an actor when the script they are reading is obviously bad.
There were lots of talented and intelligent people involved in the prequels that were handed a pile of horseshit and told to sell it to the audience as gold.
I can't even imagine who approved the dialog and writing of those first two movies. Was there no oversight whatsoever?
Hayden Christiansen was truly awful though.
You watch that motherfucker in Shattered Glass and it's fine. Dude looked good on posters too. It was all about the imagery and trailers for Lucas. Dude's set for life, so I don't think he's sweating fans opinions. Also,google his wife to see who he gets pregnant every night.
Saying TFA isn't creative is weird to me. I think most of SW is creative and having similar plot beats doesn't make it lack creativity IMO. I think they're already setting up Rey and Kylo as a very different hero and villain combo and not everything about the story is the same.
I also think TFA having a similar aesthetic to the OT makes sense as I don't think the galaxy would be that radically different tonally after the Imperial war. I do think the prequels have neat and unique art design but there's also a lot of story beats that are similar there too and while people make fun of the whole it rhymes thing, it's absolutely true.

ANH: young person on desert planet destined for bigger things

But they all do their own thing with that concept.
Who are "they"? The fans? Was there really that much vitriol directed at Lloyd personally?
Let me guess, still mad about them shitting on Rogue One?Can't wait for the Red Letter Media video responding to Hamill's comments by shitting on Jake Lloyd for the whole video for daring to stand up for George Lucas.

Everyone in the prequels performed terribly, with the exception of the Palpatine guy and maybe Christopher Lee (i.e. the hammy evil roles).
Everyone else was terrible, and there are some great actors in there. So I think we can safely say that it's Lucas' fault.
People going after the kid are just terrible people.
I wish Hayden Christensen had another chance.

This wasn't aimed at me, but I'm fine with them shitting on movies I like and liking movies I don't. They're light comedy banter, and it's often funnier to shit on a movie than to like it.
My problem with Redlettermedia is when they started doing their 'forced diversity to please SJW's' business. When they started showing their true feelings about women and black men leading big popcorn movies I lost interest in them pretty quickly. I gave them the benefit of the doubt first (perhaps it was just a poorly worded argument), but they kept going back to that well.
I don't have time for dickheads like that in my life. Has nothing to do with their stuff - I actually used to really like Best of the Worst for example.
My other problem is people online (happens here on Gaf too) endlessly spamming their jokes and gifs instead of using their own arguments/thinking up their own jokes. That's very lame, but technically not RLM's fault.
Fuck Star War fans.
I wish Hayden Christensen had another chance. He took a break from acting because of all the vitriol he received despite being good in other movies (Jumper, Shattered Glass) . At least Natalie Portman started out with Léon and was getting other roles left and right to prove herself. He never really got the chance. But he is rich as hell and has a wonderful girlfriend. Much better than what Lloyd received.
Yup.
"white guy reveals true feelings when fantasies go unfulfilled"
Got it. Done with RLM. Shit is fucking garbage.
Huh?Oh.
What about Jake Lloyd though?
Huh?
Exactly. I don't see the link.
We were responding to someone talking about Redlettermedia. Read the thread and it'll make sense.
I did, and it doesn't.
What?

And that's where you come in.
I don't really understand where your confusion comes from. It's a conversation. They happen on message boards. People react to each other.
Sure, but not sure how it relates to Jake Lloyd.
Can't wait for the Red Letter Media video responding to Hamill's comments by shitting on Jake Lloyd for the whole video for daring to stand up for George Lucas.
Good on Mark for standing up for the kid. Disliking the movies or the acting doesn't give carte blanche to wish the people involved were dead or any of the other hyperbolic shittiness that Star Wars fans have said about people like Lloyd and Lucas.
...Okay...
First comment in that series:
Which was based on the type of content RLM has been making recently. Someone asked about the RLM-part of that quote and where that low opinion of RLM came from, I reacted to his question, and the fourth guy (the one you quoted) reacted to my post.
Really, it's very simple. It's basically what this places was designed for you know, people sharing thoughts and responding to each other.
They criticised Disney's selective diversity. You can have a black male and white female, but God forbid that they have a romance like other Star Wars films. Your interpretation of their criticisms is rather off-base.Glad there's no one in here saying "no he sucks, he deserves it".. was almost expecting it to come. Poor dude was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I don't. He's relatively passable in Shattered Glass but he still suffers from the same problems on display in the PT. He seems like a nice guy, and I wish him well, but let's not pretend like he should reprise his role (I really don't think he's a good actor from what I've seen.. he's generally bad in emotional scenes). He had terrible performances in EP2/3, regardless of who was responsible, and I really don't want to see if he can improve from horrible to mediocre just.. because he might be marginally better without a shitty script.
Ugh. RLM put out two horrid reviews for the last couple SW films. "Diversity is so forced, needs more sex to fulfill my middle age fantasies". Give me a break.
They're straight up hacks now, when it comes to SW reviews. Has nothing to do with whether or not you thought TFA/R1 were good. Their criticism sucks.
