"May 12, 2000 -- Hayden Christensen, a 19-year-old Canadian actor, has been

personally, i would have preferred Christian Bale (American Psycho). Imagine
the sort of damage that Anakin could do with a NailGun ;o)

Thank Christ they didn't cast Leo. So what has this Hayden Christensen done
then?
Imagine
Can't be any worse than the Clone Wars and the purging of the Jedi
Knights...

oddly enough, starred onetime Anakin frontrunner Jonathan Jackson), and
John Carpenter's 1995 opus In the Mouth of Madness"

So, a relative nobody. Still I'm waiting for someone to do a spoof movie
with Leo and Amidala on the end of a sinking Star Destroyer.... ;o)
I'll lend you the book shall I.... :o)
