The person he should really fear being like is Mark Hamill, the actor who portrayed Luke Skywalker. Robert Pattinson should only hope to be mentored by a Jedi master in a swamp and then burn Darth Vader's remains. At the height of their popularity, Robert Redford and Paul Newman never got to do that.
