	The new Anakin's voice is MUCH BETTER than the whiney 2D actor. It's not Hayden, but it's very good. -----signature----- JediLight Near Marathon on 06-09-08 (ROTJ short) Best Episodes: ROTS, ESB; Underrated: TPM; Overrated: AOTC, ANH

	I hear that. I absolutely hated the 2D actor. He did a little better when season 2 came around, but the episodes where Anakin was whining to Obi Wan was simply unbearable. -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader

	I never had a problem with the 2D actor. Was he really that bad? It was never a distraction to me.

	DarthSapient posted: I don't see how you can be an actor and not have a big ego. I would imagine a lot of the actors and actresses go into the business for the love of thespian pursuits. But I would imagine the rest go into it for the hopes of big money, lavish lifestyles, and being famous. You can't achieve that without self-importance. I have this sneaking suspicion that most, if not all actors, suffer from either an inferiority complex or else narcissistic personality disorder. Keep in mind, acting in SW isn't like anything else (or at least, TPM was probably the first mostly greenscreen film). Ironically, it's more like "make believe" play/acting that kids do, so some would suggest it's a "purer" form of acting. But it would be difficult to make sure you've got the scene right, particularly when you're interacting with an alien character. -----signature----- Dustin + Tina = 5 years of marriage Obama given First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence

	More than anything, that's the complaint and difficulty Christopher Lee, Ewan McGregor, and Liam Neeson had with TPM. They liked Lucas and the films. They felt like they were out of their element by only having a green screen and imagination to go by.

	I hear a lot that these actors don't like being known just as the character they played in SW, such as Sir Alec Guinness, Ewan etc. I get that, I really do because they were already in some films and they don't want to be limited. But some of the actors, like Hayden, Harrison Ford (maybe even Natalie) were born from Star Wars, it's what propelled them to the other movies they've played in. They should be grateful. Maybe it's just me, but if I was in Star Wars, I think I could live for the rest of my life as "That guy from Star Wars." -----signature----- ~Sith Master - Master to Trimaj~ - Acolytes of Darkness Join the Acolytes of Darkness Today http://boards.theforce.net/star_wars_community/b10012/28369757/p1/?966

	I feel the same way too, and so does Anthony Daniels. He IS C-3PO. I don't know if he'll ever leave Star Wars as long as 3PO is around. -----signature----- Fanboys FINALLY in February!

	The reason Anthony Daniels is always willing to do Star Wars things is because he's never had anything much come his way outside of Star Wars. Same's true of Peter Mayhew.

	It's funny cause Anthony Daniels was actually a mime before SW, IIRC. I think him and Peter Mayhew don't have much else come their way is because they've found what they were meant to do. Anthony Daniels is C-3PO. Even his voice. Peter Mayhew, like he said in an interview, just becomes Chewie when the suits on. It gives alot more life to the characters to have actors that can become them. IMO, what else do they need? -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader

	If I were them, I'd be doing the same exact thing. I'd go along with the franchise wherever and wherever they wanted.

	Well the thing about the Clone Wars is that Peter Mayhew probably wouldn't be involved unless he was voicing another character. Same goes for Kenny Baker. They only had non-voice acting parts in Star Wars. -----signature----- Fanboys FINALLY in February!

	But if one of the original actors aren't doing their specific part, whats even the point? I mean, I'd love to hear more SW actors, don't get me wrong, but if they're just doing like "random civilian 1" and stuff, we probably wouldn't even know who they are. On the other hand, I wouldn't be suprised if Hammil did a quick voice of a random character, just because he stays in touch with the SW franchise and he's a well established voice actor. -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader
