Nefarious Neddy links to a photo of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode III, complete with longer hair (meant to bridge the prequels with the 1970s-hairdos of A New Hope) and a look in his eyes that says, “Whoever I’m looking at is about to die, most horribly!”
What impressed me most about Hayden Christensen’s portrayal of Anakin in Attack of the Clones was how much he relied on his eyes to convey emotion, and not just in the obvious scenes like when his mother dies in his arms. In the waterfall scene, when he breezily proposes that a dictatorship might not be the worst thing and Padme blows it off as a joke, there’s something in his eyes that says, “Yeah…I’m joking…not serious at all…”
