20 Movies Starring Star Wars Actors In 2016

By Jack Pooley /

8. Marco Polo - Hayden Christensen

In Star Wars: What really needs to be said? Christensen's performance as Anakin Skywalker in the prequel trilogy convinced most viewers that he's a terrible actor, because when you're forced to read that godawful sand speech, what else is ever going to happen? Sadly his best work to date, 2003's Shattered Glass, was released directly in the middle of his Star Wars tenure, so was drowned out by the (admittedly justified) complaints about his performances in Clones and Sith. The New Movie: Christensen will star as the titular explorer in a new film from Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, xXx), which is just begging to go straight-to-video considering Christensen's lack of box office staying power post-Star Wars. Best of luck to him, but don't get your hopes up...
