    Absolutely pathetic.

    You could have apologized, but instead you continue to make this sickening accusation against me. There is absolutely nothing about my OP which insinuates I am racist. I gave a what-if scenario where John Boyega gave a Hayden-like performance and asked how people would respond to that. You claim "the way I wrote" the message appeared racist, so I ask you.. give us all a breakdown of why exactly you perceive my OP as racist. Explain why you read all of my posts like a creepy stalker too.

    Apparently mentioning a black actor in a negative light can be perceived as racist? Even though absolutely no reference has been made to that actor's skin color?

    I say again Revanite..

    What if I said Daisy Ridley, would that be sexist? If I said Max Von Sydow would that be ageist?

    YOU brought color into this and that is a FACT.

    Neither me or any other user deserves to be labelled in this way without reason. I have no choice but to report you.

    Ouch. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought you would go so far as to REPORT ME on an Internet forum! The horror!
    And I read your previous posts simply because of the way you wrote your heavy handed query. And it just further cemented my opinion of you. Anybody here is free to do the same.

    And yes it would be sexist if you said Daisy because again, there was no need to single out ANY individual actor to ask this sort of question. You could have just asked if a main character gave a poor performance then would you not watch the following films. But you singled out Boyega, and again I advise people to read previous posts, so I wondered why. And your aggressive defensiveness leads me to believe it more.

    I am am anonymous nobody to you on the Internet and yet I apparently hold the power to incense your unbridled wrath. Why is it that everyone nowadays is obsessed with what people think of them? Especially people they don't know and will never meet?

    Oh and any mods here that feel the need to warn me or ban me, I do not mind because you own the site and it is your property to with as you please. And I'm active duty military so I have been counseled many times before. No skin off my nose.

    And respond to me all you like but (perhaps to your enjoyment) I will not be answering you or spending time on this thread. Mainly because you have no purpose in my life, as I have none in yours.

    Later

    You labelled me as a racist over nothing, I take that very personally.

    Are you going to apologize or should I take this further?

    Oscars great in it! His wife in the show Carla Quevedo would've made an excellent daughter of Leia.

    To clarify, I have no problem with Hayden as an actor. I think he did fine with what he was given -- however, my idea of Anakin Skywalker pre-prequel trilogy is almost exactly what you described there, and like his ROTJ novel description, which described the pre-fall Anakin as "striking, and grand, with a wry tilt to his brow that hinted of invincibility and took in all life with a wink.". A guy more like this:


    sebastian shaw 1.png
    anakin_skywalker_by_benchowfat-d3c6dnr.jpg



    ....than this:


    anakin hayden 1.jpg
    anakin hayden 2.jpg



    Although to be fair, I also imagined Obi-Wan to be more like this:

    obi-wan_fleming.jpg

    ....than this:

    obi wan ewan 1.jpg
    obi wan ewan 2.jpg


    ....but I think Hayden Christensen played Anakin exactly as George Lucas wanted him to when he made the prequels. Ewan as Obi-Wan, too.

    Hayden was cool in some other movies not great but, as Anakin? There were slivers of acceptable acting in that role but as a whole? Oh dear god people if you thought Hayden as Anakin was good then you are no students of cinema and you probably eat wonder bread thinking it's nutricious

    I Like those preferred Anakin/Qbi Wan images. I think one day they will remake the prequels and the OT. Maybe then (prequels) they will get it right.

    You've already reported the post. We took actions. Making public treats will not get you anywhere. And may I ask, how are you going to take this further? You've already been warned in the past several times. If your aggressive behavior continues you will get a temp ban. I understand why you're frustrated, and you have a point, but that's not the way to deal with it.

    I want to make a friendly reminder that spectulations at this point are quite the hornest nest....I would consider a break from this for you both. But this is just a suggestion before people have to leave.

    Boyega is a wild card...He is as unknown as Ridley...Let´s just wait....

    For what it's worth, if you watch the PT as though it's a Victorian melodrama written for the stage and not a fantasy/sci-fi blockbuster film, it actually works.
