    Greetings,

    I was just wondering if you were to pick any celebray today to play a character in the prequal series, who would you choose and why?

    I would probably get Angelina Joel li to play Pad'me amidala and Johnny Depp to be Obi-wan.
    I don't really know why?

    Force and Peace Forever!

    I'm torn. I love Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan. But based on the characters he played in Gladiator and Master & Commander, as well as the boyscout he played in Cinderella Man, I think Russell Crowe would have been an amazing Obi-Wan. He also has a heavy resemblance to Alec Guinness.

    I do love Ewan as well....but you're right about Russel Crowe, he does have a lot of resembelence to the classic Obi-Wan

    To Me, Ewan McGregor is the only one who can play Obi-wan Kenobi:D

    I disagree. Ewan looked just like Alec in ROTS. He even talked like him, voice and all. Maybe it's because I strongly dislike Russell, or maybe it's because he just ain't the part.

    For Anakin I would have chosen a stick or bag of oranges. They would have both done the role better than Hayden Christensen.

    Ewan was great as Obi-Wan, one of the few people I agree with the casting dircetor on.

    I think Liv Tyler would have made a good Padme.

    Liv Tyler would have looked like a ghost wearng Queen robes. She doesn't seem passionate about anything. It's like we're choosing names out of a hat. And here we go again with the Hayden bashing...I'm sure there are more threads like this one out there.

    For Anakin I think Hayden was good as he has enough of a resemblence to Mark Hamill to pass as Luke's father and he's good at playing the hero who has fallen into Darkness.

    For Obi-Wan I think Ewan was great as by ROTS he had basically done a flawless transition from brash Padawan to Old Ben.

    About the only role I'd have changed will be Bail because as great as Jimmy Smits is, it'd make more sense to hide the children with someone who could pass as her real father.

    I also agree that everyone is fine as they are.
    After 3 movies I'm attached to their looks and could never at this point accept someone new to play them. I never bashed the actors or the characters. I simply accepted that George knew what he was doing and that it was best for him and his movies.

    As much as Portman is bashed, I can't imagine anyone doing a better job with the role that was given. She was supposed to be alluring but not slutty. She was supposed to be intelligent but not devious. She was supposed to seem innocent and young.

    Angelina Jolie? Too Devious, Too Slutty.
    Liv Tyler? She is supposed to seem intelligent.

    I just can't see anyone else out of known actresses.

    Russell Crowe as Obi-Wan?? No Way!!
    Liv Tyler as Padme??? Um no. Wonderful as Arwen, NOT Padme.
    I would choose:



    Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker

    Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Natalie Portman as Padme

    Jimmy Smits was fine as Bail Organa. He looks enough like leia, they both have dark features.








    And did I mention an EXCELLENT actor named Hayden Christensen to play Anakin Skywalker???

    Yes, Jimmy did an excellent job as Bail. But I think Master_Starwalker is on to something...

    True, that.

    I can't think of a casting decision that would have positively or negatively impacted the PT. Might as well leave it as is.

    Actually, looking at these pictures side by side, I think they match up very well... :confused:

    I'd rather have Ric Olie as the centerpiece of the entire saga than throw in A-list celebrities "for the hell of it"... but if I had to, maybe Albert Brooks as Olie?

    Swap Rose Byrne for Natalie Portman, and the character of Padme would've actually conveyed something.

    As far as the galaxy at large knows she is.

    They actually match up far better than I thought they did yesterday, especially skeletal structure-wise.
