personally, i would have preferred Christian Bale (American Psycho). Imagine

Thank Christ they didn't cast Leo. So what has this Hayden Christensen done
then?

personally, i would have preferred Christian Bale (American Psycho).

Can't be any worse than the Clone Wars and the purging of the Jedi
Knights...

" Christensen is 19, Canadian, and has appeared in the Fox Family Channel
show Higher Ground, the recent TV movie Trapped in a Purple Haze (which,
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)
