the series of Obi Wan Kenobi It is already with us and, as always happens with these events, it has divided the fans between those who love everything they have seen in the first two episodes, and those who believe that they could have been more careful, especially in some plots. Even so, reception has been generally good and it has allowed an old actor from the first three episodes to reconcile with the staunchest followers of the galactic saga.
Is Hayden Christensen accepted?
The actor who played in episodes II and III of starwars Anakin Skywalker left the experience quite shaken because many believed that he ruined the character due to his poor acting skills. It is true that his role had many gaps and he did not do his part eitherbut time heals everything and the same thing now, practically 20 years later, things have changed.
Look if not at uncle Owen, another one in 2005 at the end of Revenge of the Sith brought out his limited acting talent when picking Luke up from Obi Wan’s arms and turning around to stare at the two suns of Tatooine, which now in the series even keeps the type on screen in his particular (and known since Episode IV) pulse against the Jedi knight who is in charge of protecting them from the clutches of the empire and Darth Vader.
The fact is that Hayden Christensen has won over fans in a recent appearance, during the days of the last Star Wars Celebration when, together with Ewan McGregor, he had no better idea than to pronounce six words with which many have gone into ecstasy and, it seems, he finally redeems the actor from his original sins in Episodes II and III of the first galactic trilogy.

They were only six words but how well chosen they were since Hayden recovered an old meme of his character to the present, quoting a phrase that already made him famous in his day. At one point in the interview, along with Ewan McGregor, he had no better idea than to say “This is where the fun begins”, that is, translated into Spanish, “Here is where the fun begins.” Just below you have the video moment in which you can verify that he says it.

It was saying those words and driving all the fans crazy who attended the Star Wars Celebration, so it gave the impression that the world community had already forgiven him for all his original sins, which are not a few if we look back and remember how he did not live up to what he wanted us count George Lucas in his trilogy of films released between 2002 and 2005.
for now it seems that all is forgiven And, very possibly, it will stay that way for a long time. Not in vain does it look like Hayden’s performance will be conditioned in the series by his role as Darth Vader. And he would have to be very bad so that, with the villain’s costume and mask on, he would be able to ruin his interpretation. Do you see him capable?
