I actually liked Christensen as Darth Vader...before he was that persona. Ir caught me by surprise when I watched SW I-III but he seems so naive, so gullible, so favorable as to what the future holds. I am, however, a generation that watched 4-6 first. However, in exploring who he is, what he is, I found that I could accept such a sweet, and caring person person as portrayed by Hayden...after that it was what the story deemed him to be - the ruthless Darth Vader. However, after
"knowiing the story," he becomes nothing to me.
But I still liked him for the innocent man/child he once was.
