Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker
After being cast as Anakin Skywalker, Hayden Christensen appeared in 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones' (2002) and 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith' (2005) and was tasked with conveying the Jedi's transformation into the dreaded Sith Lord Darth Vader.
Unfortunately, the actor received a huge amount of criticism for his performance, and was driven away from the franchise for years.
Speaking to The Guardian last year, Christensen said: “I guess the impression that I got from George Lucas was that if they don’t like them, then they don’t ‘get’ it – and that was good enough for me.”
The actor is now receiving a lot of love from fans after his recent appearances in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' and 'Ahsoka' on Disney+.
