    Yeah, the freshly shaved head look kind offsets the other two pics. By the way, what film is the nudie on a rug pic from? She looks fantastic like that....err...with the Egyptian styled eye makeup I mean.

          Portman and Hayden Christiansen? You'd have better performances if you took a couple of action figures and made em smooch.

          I mean, sweet jesus, this is wretched. "I like the water." "I don't like sand." Let's stare at each other and kiss.

          Compared to this? This is classic Hollywood romance. They might as well be Bogart and Bacall, it's so good.

          Blame a lot of that on declining Lucas storytelling, but also on superior casting (and a different director in Kirshner).
          I totally agree. Come to think of it, Anakin and Padme made twins and we only had that?! LOL

          Although I have a huge crush on Natalie Portman I still think Princess Leia is hotter cause of the attitude. The script on the older movies were better as well so I kept thinking on the entire trilogy (1-3) why does Anakin and Padme have these corny dialogues? and besides that, Anakin really has poor courtship skills he should have used aggressive negotiations... with the light saber

            I could not disagree more. I prefer my romance... well... romantic, not irritatingly *****y. Although I will freely admit that the fireplace scene between Anakin and Padme in Episode II was a bit much... even for me.

            But i always took Anakin's "poor courtship skills" to be a natural reflection of his character's experience (Ie: 10 year old boy taken away from a life of slavery by Jedi knights to live a monk-like existence that stresses "No attachments and No passions). This kid hasn't exactly had a lot of experience mackin' the ladies.

            His romantic clumsiness (difficult as it is for some to take) makes perfect sense, and it actually is (one of several) character flaws that makes his fall from grace possible.

            Anakin's lack of cynisism and (borderline) sickening tendency toward romance makes his transformation into the monstrous Darth Vader (murderer of children) all the more terrible.

                Even if I agreed with that statement, (which I do not), the other two posted photos of Natalie blow away most photos I've ever seen of Carrie.

                Natalie has the delicate bone structure, features, and elegance and a classic female beauty.

                Even in the bald shot this is evident.

                Ask yourself this: On her BEST day, do you think Carrie would look half as good sporting a bald head as Natalie does?

                I think not.

                    It's purely a matter of taste, isn't it? Some people really dig bald chciks, for instance.

                    Portman has lots of conventionally pretty attributes that do not add up to sexy for me.

                      Yeah you got a point there. But I can't help but think of it as poor script writing. Hats off to Christensen's awkward acting which explains the uneasiness of being around women after living a monk-like existence. I just feel like the script could have been much better.

                        I see what you mean. Although, I don't see it as poor script writing so much as clumsily written dialogue. This has been an issue in STAR WARS from the very beginning. Even THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK has its share of badly written dialogue (Ie: "Why you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!" "Laugh it up fuzzball" )

                        But I think the scripts for these (prequel) films are fine. The stories being told are epic, and grand, and very entertaining.

                        The trouble, I'm afraid, lies in George Lucas's clumsy attempts at dialogue, his heavy-handed directing style (he directs special effects, NOT actors), and his autocracy as a filmmaker.

                        He hired his (previous) Sound Designer Ben Burtt to cut these films (as per his instructions), and the films show it. There were things included in those films that should definitely have been left out. Any other editor (who didn't have a 30 year history with Lucas Like Burtt did), would have made those cuts.

                        While the prequels were being made, there was NO ONE around to challenge George Lucas on his silly ideas. This is in stark contrast to the making of the OT.

                        During the development of the Original Trilogy, when George Lucas said he wanted all the heroes to be midgets, there was fortunately someone around to say, 'Wait a minute George. That's a pretty corny idea."

                        When the OT films were being made, every time a Director shouted "Cut! Print it!! That's PERFECT!! Let move on!!, there was always an actor saying, "Hey wait a minute. Was that take "perfect" for me and my performance, or was it just "perfect" for the darn Special Effects??"

                        The prequel scripts / stories are fine. Its their directorial /dialogue execution that sometimes gets a bit clumsy.

                          As far as the writing goes for the new movies ... yes, they're very badly written ........

                          But in that same note, try rewatching the classic trilogy.

                          The classic trilogy has a lot of laughable writing too, but we forget about that because we grew up with it and we're so used to it.

                          Watch the Luke Leia scene on Jedi ... The scene where Leia says "why must you face him?"
                          It's a horrible scene that looks like it was written by an 8th grade English teacher
