She should talk with Hayden Christensen about it.

I'm just happy John Boyega and Kellie Marie Tran are getting work. To me they were the best part of the films along with the fictional characters.

I don't have anything against Daisy but i just could not feel her, it's funny cuz when i thought she was going to end up with Boyega i was more interested in her character (i mean in the first film) but the moment i realized they were going to pair her with tortured soul, i just couldn't get into her character except for her scenes with Luke Skywalker.

I think Natalie Portman would be the better person to talk to - for largely the same reason

[potatoehead25]

She didn't get new movie offers after Star Wars? I thought she did since she had a bit of a career before taking the role

[sailormood]

I dont think she's a fair example? Natalie was smart and starred in small budget but well known films like Garden State, Where the Heart Is, Closer, etc between filming the trilogy. V For Vendetta was released a year after RotS, 4 years later she won best actresses for Black Swan and got involved with Thor.

Yeah Nat was booked and busy and pretty much always has been when she wasn't pregnant.

Yeah she seems fine as actress not amazing not terrible ( I don’t notice bad acting unless it’s bell swan levels) but when the writing went to shit for her character it did not do her any favors then I just didn’t care. Sucks because there’s was not in her control at all

[potatoehead25]

agree

[envyisbaggage]

I agree - I thought she did really well for the terrible material she was given.

I think with Hayden it was kind of his choice to step back. He seemed to really struggle with his mental health.

[potatoehead25]

I did not know that. I can only imagine with all the hate those films got

[burntxtoashes]

Yeah apparently he went to live on a farm for like 5 years, and then he had a few roles but obviously didn't have the same recognition that he'd had before, but said he was happy with his decision. I think that was part of why him and Rachel broke up too (other than the cheating rumours), as she was always going to events and stuff and he never went with her.

[potatoehead25]

Good thing that he could take a break when he wanted to, some actors can't seem to have that opportunity. Peace of mind is so important

[deeohaytch]

I mean poor Jake Lloyd had a mental breakdown and he was just a kid
