Dawson is what, mid-40s? And Stevenson was apparently not really healthy/well. The physical abilities of the actors can be limiters, too. With a TV-type budget, they may not get into the green screen/stunt double stuff as much as they can in film format, with that level of budget. And no matter what, nothing will ever look as dynamic and fluid as animation. Christensen is a pretty amazing swordsman. I'll see if I can dig up the footage of what the face off between he and Dooku was scheduled to ORIGINALLY look like. |

I kinda got to thinking that maybe it's just that Christensen is damn good at that stuff. |

There's tons of footage of him working with McGregor and others on it. Remember seeing some footage of cut sequences from the Mustafar duel and he was busting ass with the stunt coordinator.

This is what I'm assuming Duncan is talking about.

Yeah, they ended up cutting some of this because there were parts they couldn't sub Christopher Lee out for, and he just was not physically capable of pulling off at his age.
Same thing happened with the Palpatine fight. I don't think there's test footage of that, but it was supposed to be way better than it ended up being. Again the novelization of it is pretty fantastic. |

Hayden Christensen was poorly served by Star Wars. He was widely criticized for his "whiny" Anakin, but I think he gave Lucas exactly what he wanted.

Right, I want to say maybe less screen time for the non combative ninja turtles and more screen time for the cool shit. However it is staying true to form of traditional Star Wars genre of allocating time to the weirdest of irrelevancy.

There were zero "Man, dat ass!" moments in this episode.
They're slipping. |

I would call them furless ewoks with shells. Pretty sure I see where this is going.
