    Christensen isn’t a bad actor (he was great working with Hank Azaria in Shattered Glass). Nobody could have saved that direction and dialogue.

      I think the dialogue and direction perfectly captured a shut-in teenage monk trying to flirt with the most attractive woman in the galaxy.

    I can’t say enough nice things about Hayden’s return to the role. He nailed it. It’s a big performance, he and Rosario have exactly the right chemistry - old trust, new mistrust and a tension between. Those scenes are fantastic, and they strengthen the redemption tale aspect of the overall Skywalker Saga by their addition.
