Hayden takes a lot of flak, you know, for what he did, what he didn’t do in his performance…but the one thing that I will always love about Hayden’s performance as Anakin/Vader is…there’s a vulnerability there. And I think that’s one of the reasons why George cast him. George was looking for a James Dean-style actor that could be vulnerable, could be sensitive. And there’s this moment as he’s laying there on the table, and that mask is lowering and it’s JUST about to go on his face–there’s this panicked look in his eyes at what’s about to happen to him. That scene just kept playing over and over in my mind.
