15 Worst Performances In Star Wars Movies

9. Paul Bettany - Dryden Vos

Dryden Vos was not an interesting villain and was about as bland as everything else in this terrible spin-off movie, but with a stronger, more charismatic performance he could've worked. Unfortunately, the often-great Paul Bettany just didn't seem to know what to do with the part.

He just coasts along without ever being menacing and gives an overly-subdued performance. With this character, a more hammy and flamboyant actor would've been better, but Bettany is often better in more subtle, grounded roles (such as, say, Vision in the MCU), so this was an example of fatal miscasting.

Alas, Vos sits alongside Nute Gunray, General Grievous, Captain Phasma and Supreme Leader Snoke as one of the worst Star Wars movie villains.
