Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

Motion is relative. There is really no such thing as "stationary".

I'm aware of that. I'm just saying that's what it looked like.

Sounds about right. I hadn't been under the impression that he'd been de-aged until people started talking about it here.

Yeah I thought I was going crazy, he just looked like he was 20 years older than the character

I thought it was Hayden Christensen now just dressed up and makeup to look younger and failing badly.

If it was a deafing effect bit of a fail.

It definitely seems to be Hayden in the Vader suit. He's no longer as tall or broad as David Prowse.

The show isn't great, but it is entertaining enough to keep watching. Ewan is great, even if his character always was (and still is) boring. But occasionally there are fun character moments, so Obi Wan definitely is slightly more interesting than he was in the prequels. The sets and costumes look great. The effects are good, but occasionally there's scenes that come across as rather low budget. Such as that bizarre laser barrier that looked small enough to hop over. The action varies from fun, to poorly choreographed. And the plot, while simple, is servicable. At least there is one, and despite it being riddled with tiny plot holes, for the most part it is alright. And the kid playing Leia is really well cast.

For all its minor faults, I'll keep watching. I don't really care if Reva's lightsaber is a practical weapon either. That just seems like nitpicking to me. It's fantasy.

According to Google there’s like an inch difference I height and about twenty pounds lighter. If you can tell that through that suit, you’ve got much better eyes than mine.

I was looking mostly at the shoulders. It seems like Vader has the same body frame as Hayden, so I think it's actually him in the suit.

Was Hayden wearing the suit in the final scene in Ep 3?

 

[Imaculata]

I don't know, but apparently according to an instagram post of someone who worked on the show, Darth Vader is actually played by 3 different people, including 2 stunt men, and Hayden himself. Apparently for most of the fight scenes, it is not actually Hayden.

 

[pukunui]

Sorry. I meant Ep 3 as in Revenge of the Sith, not episode 3 of this show.

If you take stuntmen into account most characters are played by at least 3 different people.
