Han's idgaf attitude in ANH is a direct reflection of Ford's attitude in real life I mean he'd actually quit acting and then got roped into doing this movie because Lucas had hired him to stand in for Han while auditioning people to play Luke and then just hired him for real

To be fair, I think there's a general DGAF attitude in ANH among all the principals. They realized the dialogue was designed to be sort of naive and earnest and tried to have fun with it -- e.g. Hamill's overt whininess.

You don't see this attitude in the other two movies, b/c Lucas had brought in Kasdan to punch up the dialogue so it sounded more naturalistic and hip. ANH and the prequels are actually very similar in that regards, it's just that nobody ever seems to have goofed off on the PT.

It sounds like Lucas got way more tyrannical as a director when the prequels got made (see also refusing to delegate the writing and directing duties to nearly the same degree) And this was compounded by the extensive use of green screen

There's leaked footage where you can see Hayden Christiansen doing the grueling process of giving different line reads over and over again and Lucas keeps picking the worst one

Lucas’ background as a documentary filmmaker explains this. Often he wasn’t interested in which performances were the best, but which ones felt the most “real.”

Yeah there's this footage of an actual experienced child actor reading for Anakin and doing an actual good job and then he passes on him in favor of Jake Lloyd, who sounds like he barely understands the script, because he's so "natural" and "unrehearsed"

I heard that Jake Lloyd was casted specifically because he looked like a young DiCaprio, who the producers had wished to negotiate into Episodes 2 & 3

Well, looking at present day Jake Lloyd we can see how destinies diverge

There's this really mean meme about the one Star Trek episode where Wesley gets magically aged into an adult and comparing the actor they got to present day Wil Wheaton "That was optimistic"

That always reminded me of those creepy Dairy Council ads from the same period where a schlubby kid looks in the mirror and sees what he or she will look like in 5-10 years because they’re drinking milk. Their future selves are always ridiculously buff/statuesque.
