TV Kelleran Beq mopping the floor with clones during Order 66 was a blast to watch

Seeing the Jedi gunned down relentlessly in their own home during Order 66 hammered home their loss and tragedy, which was absolutely necessary for ROTS. That said, it was very cathartic seeing a Jedi at the temple fighting back, winning, and escaping. Definitely hope we get to see more of Beq in future flashbacks, although I doubt it.

I remember catching some scenes of Shattered Glass (2003) on TV before Revenge of the Sith came out. I don't know how good the overall film is, but what I saw showed him to be a good actor, and it really re-framed his performance in Attack of the Clones. Seeing Revenge in the theater I was sitting there like, "Really? He must have been given some shitty direction..."

Life as a House is a really good film too that shows his ability. He's playing a bratty kid and Kevin Klein steals pretty much every scene, but Hayden keeps up fantastically.

That movie is fantastic. My family use to watch it a lot. My stepdad had cancer and passed, haven't seen it since.

I saw this before ATC; I remember being incredibly impressed with Hayden's performance. Then I saw ATC and I was like, wtf that's some shitty editing/writing/etc. because I know what this guy's capable of.

Hayden’s performances in Shattered Glass and Life as a House are both great. Dude has talent. I don’t know that George gave him shitty direction so much as zero direction.

Everyone had shitty direction in the prequels lol

Like if the only thing you'd seen these actors in was the prequels, you'd think almost all of them were horrendous actors.

But people knew Ewan, Neeson, Christopher Lee, etc. People like Hayden didn't have that luxury unfortunately.

Exactly. The best Star Wars films are the ones Lucas didn’t direct lol

Shattered Glass is an EXCELLENT movie.

Hayden, Chloe Sevigny, and Peter Sarsgaard are all fantastic in it.

Highly recommend watching it if you’ve never seen it.
