We live in a golden age of Star Wars prequel renaissance.
And few people are as happy about that as Hayden Christensen.
Its been a remarkable experience.

And just a very heartwarming one.
I think that those movies have held up well over time.
It feels like vindication for the work that we did.
Everyone that worked on those movies thought that we were part of something special.
We all wanted to do our very best work, and we cared a lot about it.
And so to see the response from the fans now, its very cool.
But I had friends that were upset that the character was starting off as this young kid.
And I watched the film, and I loved it.
It was everything I wanted and more.
These people dont need to sound and behave the way that we might expect.
Such is the cyclical nature of Star Wars.
Time will tell, just as it did for Hayden Christensen.
