Why didn't Liam Nesson play Darth Vader?

What are you talking about, Ewan is a better swordsman than Liam because Obi-Wan probably fought better than Qui-Jon did, Especially when Obi-Wan fought Darth Maul alone.

I'm talking about Ewan himself not Obi-Wan...Obi-Wan's fight in ep I involved a lot of stunt doubles. for the fight in ep III, they didn't use them, cause both Ewan and Hayden evolved to better swordmen.

This thread ROXXXXXX

I think I wrote this on the wrong thread before but around 1996, there were those saying that Liam was playing Darth Vader, I guess they just assumed cause of the height, but yeh... He would certainly have been too old to start training lol Plus I dont think Natalie Portman wouldve been too happy about that decision either...... ewww

Well I think it's better when the actors and stuntmen do amazing flips and stunts because it has better action and entertainment, because if Obi-Wan was still like he was in Episode I, he could easily kick the shit out of Dooku and Anakan.

Thats not true---- the way he fought Maul was because of anger--- thats how Maul was able to defeat him, but then he calmed down and used the good side to strike the fatal slice to Maul

The fights aren't choreographed by the actors, though, so would it really matter?

Well actually, that's not true, I think that Obi-Wan was still a little pissed off when he chopped Darth Maul in half for trying to force him down that huge pit thing. Anyway I agree that Obi-Wan was very angry when he fought amazing against Darth Maul. I think that Anakan will be like Obi-Wan was when he was pissed off when he slaughters the Jedi younglings and when he fights Obi-Wan.

No I read the novel...the novel says Obi-Wan thinks back again of the living force like Qui-Gon taught him too and concentrates. So what she says is right.

Instead of Hayden whatever, playing Darth Vader, why didn't Liam Nesson play him becuase he's tall enough, or he seems to be taller than everyone else anyway.

Kozzman you should be SHOT for that post! 😂

why not! and let jim carry play obi-wan...and what about pamela anderson, playing Padmé? She's a little older now huh!

Vern Troyer (mini-me) as YODA...PLEEEASE!

I think this guy likes BDSM....because he constantly opens useless and utterly confusing threads so that he can be flammed....😛

hes fat

the reason they chose Hayden cause then Darth Vader's fight would look the same as anakins, and cause he had to wear big boots to make him taller it looked better on camera as it showed anakin trying to get used to his suite and become one with it as its his new skin. Plus why would u want any one else in it, remember its a younger Darth and he dose fight in epi 3 other wise u would not get a figure with light saber action and there would not be any Darth with light saber pics.
