Of course, the title could end up going the way of Revenge of the Jedi.

Recycled and modified twenty years later?

To be fair, Revenge of the Sith managed the unthinkable: a watchable movie starring Hayden Christensen.

I don't get the blame Hayden Christensen gets for the prequels. Anakin came off as bland and emotionless not because of Christensen's acting, but because the direction and the writing basically made it impossible. It even made Samuel L Jackson look bland. Anytime Christensen wasn't having to say any of the movie's crap dialogue, he came off as a pretty good character in my eyes.

Sorry, can't buy this. His performances were as terrible as the rest of it. A good actor is usually able to lift dreadful material to a reasonable level.

It really was all a perfect storm of complete trash.

Oh I definitely wouldn't give him an emmy or anything, but I mean, what could he have really done with what he was given?

Samuel L Jackson of all people was reduced to this.

Shattered Glass is a good example of how Christensen is not as horrible as everyone thinks.

Samuel Jackson isn't exactly a great actor either though...

Even if that is true, he can still give a better performance than what was shown, but like nearly all the other actors on the prequels, including Christensen, he looked and sounded like a wet towel with the bad dialogue and direction.
