Well I am sorry I spelled her name wrong, I normally do try and look it up before I post but sometimes I get in a hurry and get lazy.

As much as I like her a lot more than Natalie Portman, especially because of the Pirates movies, I have to agree with everyone who says George actually got that right.


I had no problem with Natalie Portman in Attack of the Clones or Phantom menace, I did however not care for her so much in Revenge of the Sith, that was her worst performance I thought. Even if it was forced and supposed to be that way it was awful to watch.


The only thing I hate about Episode II is now and always will be Hayden Christensen or however you spell his name. He was actually ok in III but damn near ruined 2 for good for me. If I had never seen life as a house maybe I could look past it but I just can't, he was such a whiny ***** in that movie. And turns out he was a whiny ***** in Episode II, he matured a lot in III and took the fear of the fans seriously and actually improved.

I think it's due to the fact that she has a very minor role in Episode III and only appears where she is really needed.

There are a number of deleted scnes with her which I think if were reinserted back into the film, would really improve her role for the movie.

But I would certainly say that she is far better than Hayden. It's just a shame thats he was in so many scenes with him and because of that fans say she's a bad actress, when she's not.

Like father like son. Luke was just as whiny (if not more). It's all good though, the parts where they kick ass they do it well...

They're both whiny teenagers that grow up to become whiny adults really. Sadly I still think Christensen was better as Anakin than Hamill was as Luke. Same with Natalie and Carrie.

True true...I would have to agree. Still love Hamill and Fisher for what they brought though...

Yeah, that's another thing people tend to forget.

Hayden Christensen is awesome in Ep.III.

When his anger erupts on the platform of Mustafar I get goose bumps.

It's one of my favorite moments in the whole Saga.

I think he's perfect in Ep.III, and should have won an Oscar, but he only got the MTV award instead.

Christensen wasn't Oscar-worthy, the only performances I saw I would've given a nod to were Ewan McGregor as Kenobi and Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine.

"YOU WILL NOT TAKE HER FROM ME!" Goose bump enducing every time!

Also, in EPII when he is arguing with Obi-Wan about landing the Gunship to get Padme...F'N LOVE IT!!!

Honestly, I really don't think you could've found a worse picture of her. I've seen her in person recently and she definitely doesn't look that bad. However, there really is no debate as Natalie Portman is one of the foxiest chicks in Hollywood.

Just remember, Carrie had a rather rough lifestyle that doesn't lend itself to looking good when you get older.

Thanks George, and thank you for not listening to the "fans", otherwise the PT would have ended up a Darth Vader slaughter feast.

"PT"? What is that?

What did the fans want?

What are you talking about? Carrie Fisher wasn't in episodes 1, 2, or 3.

PT - Prequel Trilogy.

And as for what the fans wanted - well everyone had their own vision of what the Prequels should have been like, and naturally GL had his own and so he did what he envision would happen. I think many were expecting something very different.

He was joking.

Wow! Have you read Shakespeare? Wow. I mean really. Wow!

Somewhere there must be professors of literature who are drowning their sorrows in a fifth of Jack Daniels.

It's simply that you read everything with a literal tone, in that you just read what's in front of you. You don't read it as though it maybe a joke. I thought it was clearly obvious what everyone meant.

Since there were no smiley faces or any other kind of icon, I missed it. Please fill me in.

Please everyone, dont kill me.

But the special effects of star war movies are going to look so outdated on blu ray that its really frightening.
