Star Wars’ Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen has revealed his thoughts on The Phantom Menace, which was the first film in George Lucas’ divisive prequel trilogy.While speaking with Empire Magazine as part of their 25 years of the Star Wars prequels coverage, Christensen was asked if he had any thoughts on the first film in the trilogy. “I watched the film, and I loved it,” Christensen said. “It was everything I wanted and more. And I didn’t understand the disconnect between the movie that I saw, and the negativity in some of the reviews.”Christensen famously beat out hundreds of other actors to secure the part of Anakin Skywalker in 2002’s Attack of the Clones. One of these names was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio, who auditioned for the role in front of George Lucas. “I had heard that they’d met with Leonardo and a bunch of other actors,” Christensen said on this subject. “That just confirmed my thought that the role would go to another actor. Through the entire auditioning process I had told myself, from day one, that I wasn’t going to get the part. It just wasn’t a possibility. And I think that probably helped me a lot, because it just freed me up in a lot of ways. And so it really came as a surprise to me when I got the part.”
