Put down the pipe. He sounds nothing like vader. They actually used Charlton Heston as the original voice for vader.

I think you need to check your facts...

James Earl Jones is the voice of Darth Vader

Well.....it's common knowledge that lucas isn't a very good actor picker. I think he got lucky with Harrison Ford, and Ewan McGregor is a fine actor, and *maybe* mark hammill too, but aside from that, star wars actings seems kind of sub-par.

EDIT: oh, and as much as I like Sammy L. Jackson in some of his other movies (Pulp Fiction being one of my favs) I don't think he was good in the role of Mace Windu.

Harrison Ford was a horrible actor when Star Wars was made. He got better though through the years.

Leo, my brother? I think he's too old for the part. He just recently turned 48.

Find someone younger.

Owen Wilson should've been Anakin. Ben Stiller as Obi Wan.

Hayden Christensen is the sh|ttiest actor I've ever seen in such a high profile role. That said, I just can't see Leonardo Dicaprio in that role. But why did you choose him? It's not like there's only 2 actors in Hollywood. I'm sure there are any number of choices that would have been better.

I thought Harrison Ford was fine in the role as the arrogant, cocky Han Solo. He played it just fine, IMO.

Sweet heavens OH MY F'IN GOD NO

Hayden Chri-blahblah is the worst actor I have ever seen.

Not that he was helped by a George Lucas script. Even Natalie Portman sucked it up with those words.

maybe it was the script, but both Portman and Hayden just sucked in SW III.

the parts where they had to play off each other made my eyes bleed .... them being close together in scenes is like 2 walls trying to have sex .... no emotion what so ever

I'm going to disagree with you there. Harrison Ford has always been a good actor.

Mark Hammill was just as bad an actor as Hayden, but he was still a good choice for Luke.
I actually think Hayden did a much better job once he turns to the dark side. And you really can't place all the blame on him for his performance before then because some of the lines were just so embarrassingly bad that nobody would be able to pull them off. I think Portman is a great actor, but she also sounds like an idiot in a lot of the scenes in Ep 1, 2, 3 just because the lines are so corny.

Because DiCaprio was one of the people considered for the role.

Haden was a whiny bitch in that movie.
