I like the fact that he said the 'No" Jahled, I just think the way it sounded was kind of crappy. It's funny that he seems more human as a robot then he does as a human, Hayden that is. The blue backdrop? No excuse. Ewan pulled the "You were the chosen one!" in front of a backdrop. If Ewan can do that then I expect Hayden to at least be able to do a fairly decent "No" And you can only blame Lucas to a degree. While it is his fault that Hayden played Anakin, perhaps all of his acting was as much as Lucas could get out of him. I have seen some of Hayden's other movies, and all of them have at least decent acting except on his part, meaning that he blows at acting. So you can't put all the blame on the director. Also, since Hayden received acting lessons for EACH scene and still sucked proves his ineptitude.
