Star Wars - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith would both be infinitely better if a better actor than Hayden Christensen had been cast as Anakin Skywalker.

I also think Mads Mikkelsen was a terrible, awful replacement for Johnny Depp as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts 3. He's such a wooden actor and lacks the subtlety and nuance that Depp brought to the role.

In regards to Star Wars, I remember watching the behind the scenes documentary on the Phantom Menace DVD where you get to see them auditioning child actors for the part of Anakin.

Specifically, you watch them screen test the final three kids, one of which is obviously Jake Lloyd.

In my opinion he was second place of the three, I could never understand why George chose him.

I don't think George has ever had an eye for good actors. He just got lucky with Harrison Ford who carried the shit out of the original trilogy.
