    Someone should dub Hayden with Latner in a fan edit.

    And yea, through micro Anakin in with Latner too.. though I thought the whole "master, I know you don't think I am ready for an assignment of my own.. BUT I am the best pilot in the order.." thing in the microseries somewhat cringe worthy, quite clear they were still sticking with whiny Anakin until Volume II.

    That's character development, CW Anakin wasn't knighted until episode 21.

    Prefer Latner over Hayden, only because I think he's so good at showing the different aspects of Anakin. Hayden was good for the script and story he got but overall Latner is better.

    I have to hands down give the credit to Matt Lanter's Anakin. This Anakin is also written better, and the intera tons with other characters just seem a lot smoother and more natural.

    TCW Anakin, there is no contest here.

    Prequel Anakin makes my eyes bleed.

    I voted TCW Anakin. I don't dislike PT Anakin, the problem is that the movies are kind of like bookends; we see him as a kid then whiny teen then turn to the darkside. TCW is showing us the "good man" that Obi-wan talked about in the OT.

    For real though I'm Hayden.

    It's kinda weird, cuz I make all these comments about not liking myself to throw off the scent, but I really don't like myself.

    Well hello there. I once scared the hell out of everyone in an Internet cafe in London with my reaction to a picture of you shirtless.

    This thread has made me think of the only good scene that scene in the Roman hotel room in "Jumper," in which CT Hayden strips down to his boxers.

    We only get shirtless cartoon Anakin in the microseries.

    I prefer Lanter's take on Anakin. When TCW Anakin gets angry he has more of a presence and less of a "waah, but I want more power noooooooow!" attitude.

    I thought Hayden did well enough in ROTS, but TCW Anakin is what Anakin should have been like in AOTC. Instead Lucas seemed to go out of his way to make the character unlikeable. And not in a "ooooo he's just so evil and this is foreshadowing Vader" kind of unlikeable, but just a downright whiny, like nails on a chalkboard unlikeable.

    I like TCW!Anakin, but I like Hayden's portrayal of Anakin better, if that makes sense. As a character, TCW!Anakin is better because he's written that way. If PT!Anakin were written like he is now, Hayden still could've pulled it off. I just don't enjoy watching Matt Lanter as Anakin.

    And I'm still bitter about the fact that TCW!Anakin looks more like Lanter than Christensen while every other character looks like their PT counterparts.

    I voted TCW Anakin. Don't get me wrong, I'm a MOJOR Prequel Fan, and I love Hayden's performence on AOTC and ROTS, but in the clone wars you get to see more of him, and see him evolve over the course of the series. And get to see how it impacts his decisions in the movies. We don't have to explain his bad side as much, cause we know it.

    AOTC is about the inexperienced padawan, TCW is about the knighted Jedi who experienced a few battles already.

    Personally have to go with TCW Anakin for the same reasons everyone else is using. I really really really wish they hadn't done Episode 1, and just made a clone wars movie to allow this sort of friendly personality to show through. Would have made his fall a lot more tragic if he were actually ever likable in the movies (I never felt he was).

    I disagree. TCW isn't about one thing. It's about the Clones learning to be individuals, Ahsoka growing up under a Master that can't let go of attachments, Obi-Wan dealing with the fallout of actions(primarily bisecting Maul on Naboo), and people trying their best to stay out of the war and yet failing to do so. Its about more than that, really. We may follow Anakin and Obi-Wan a lot more compared to most characters but if you think about it, the story arcs aren't usually about them.
