I thought Hayden was great in those movies.

No, Hayden was really, really bad. They should have put Ryan in the role for sure.

Well, we're all gonna have a different opinion. Nothing wrong with that. It would have been interesting to see how Ryan would have played the part though.

Hayden is a good actor,I don't know what was up with him in Star wars. Attack of the Clones was Filmed in the Summer of 2000,Ryan Would have been 25 and Anakin is suppose to be like 18,Ryan would have been believable,but my guess George Lucas did not want somebody that was only 3 years younger than Ewan McGregor(Obi Wan) to play Anakin and also Padame is suppose to be 5 years older than Anakin but Ryan did not look younger than Natalie Portman,who was the same age as Hayden

Agreed, he would've looked older than Natalie but I will say while i did like Hayden in those films, his best acting was in Episode III. Ryan would've been a great choice for Anakin though.
