    Say what you want, but Hayden Christiansen is absolutely incredible with his lightsaber choreography. When he showed his skills for only a few seconds in Ahsoka, it just made me sad about how bad the sequel trilogy actors were.

      I will! I loved the prequels and think they improved upon the music, choreography, and world-building of the originals. I also think Hayden Christiansen did a great job portraying a moody, arrogant teen who was too strong for his own good, and much of the criticism about his performance was unfair because he was supposed to be irrational.

      In the sequal trilogy the actors all forgot that lightsabers dont have the weight of broadswords.

      It was terrible. Disney just doesnt get lightsabers.

      Ahsoka was the first time i saw lightsabers being used properly and although it was still a bit cheesey in places, and despite what people say, i genuinely like the series and thought it did a decent job of expanding on the rebels tv series and setting up for something new.

      I just wish it wasn’t so disney. They make everything with the products they indend to sell afterwards in mind and everything has to be light and fluffy. They just need everything to appeal to as large an audience as possible. Cant they just cultivate something nishe, or multiple nishes and make money from each nishe individually instead of making everything generic and bland?
