Of all the scenes that have been performed throughout all these years in the Star Wars saga, one of the ones that has had the most impact, without a doubt, is the sequence of Anakin Skywalker and the young Jedi. The Sith's coldness in murdering innocent children was something never before seen in the franchise, and 19 years later, the actor Hayden Christensen Reveal the secrets behind this scene.
In an interview with the American media Empire, the Canadian actor tells what it was like to film the scene with these children. Christensen reveals how he tried to scare the young actor, Ross Beadman, into jumping unexpectedly, something that even caused him remorse and for which he apologized years later.
“During filming, we had a hard time getting the reaction we wanted from the boy. So I yelled or growled at him, because we needed a moment where he would really jump. We got the response we needed and the scene worked very well… “I saw him years later and said, 'I'm sorry for what happened.'”
The actor remembers that he was delighted that this scene finally made it to the final cut, stating that George Lucas made a resoundingly right decision, since it was a bold move, but above all shocking for all those who saw the film at that time.
The rejection of the prequel trilogy Star Wars It has gradually become a love, and this has been clearly seen with the release of the latest Disney+ series. The Anakin Skywalker played by Christensen is the favorite character of many fans and his return in productions such as Obi-Wan or Ahsoka greatly delighted lovers of the films released at the beginning of the millennium.
