Well, we all know that would go down as the worst decision in history.
To put DiCaprio in ANY SW film is a horrendous idea. However, I did read
a suggestion in a magazine about Winslet playing Mon Mothma. Well, I
wouldn't go for that either. I don't see why GL would have to find these
big name actors to fill parts. That's not why people see the movies.

This is true. The reason people see the movies is because they sit in a

Well, nothing against Kate Winslet, but from what I've seen, Natalie
Portman is a better actor. But Leonardo Dicaprio? Why don't they just put
the Backstreet Boys in there too. And have the whole thing in a coffee
shop. Throw the cast of Friends in too! What the hell! I would rather see
a someone with a little talent than some kid with a pretty face. And I
don't really think the role of a powerful jedi would be filled well by a
little fairy. Anyway, I would think they would be looking for someone who
looks a little older than the kid they have now, and Leonard doesn't have
him beat by much...

Hey! come on! Leo DiCaprio would be great!!! Assuming he got killed in the
first few seconds!!! In the dark! So we cant see his face!! But only hear
his whiny little voice going Noooooooo!
Imagine the cheers he'd get!!! ;-)
Or maybe he can play an alien in a scence like the canitna in mos eisley, I

That's fucking hilarious! That's funnier than the Brad Pitt suggestion.
Little boys that throw tantrums when they don't get nominated for awards
have no place in Star Wars films. GL is trying to continue his saga not run
a day care. Brad Shitt & Leo DeCRAPrio could not handle the awsome
challenge of being in a Star Wars film. They are the type of actors who do
would do it for the fame and dough only and then try to plug 20CF or GL for
more cash to do the second film if they are still needed. I think Jake has
a more mature approach to starring in films than both of those pussies put
together.

I'm amazed that half the woman on Earth want him. Apparantly all it

Ok. I'm a girl but I really don't want Leo appear in any SW film just
because he is *too* famous and it will destroy the special feeling of
the SW movie. You know, millions teen females will go to the cinemas
and see the film just to see LEONARDO DICAPRIO, not the film.
I don't want to go through that...

blockbuster superduper actors in Ep1. There's only a small number of people
who would go see it for just one of those actors or actresses... none of
them are "bigger" than Ep1. But you stick some flash-in-the-pan idol in
there, and you change things. A year ago it would have been the Spice Girls.
Five years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger. A longer time ago, Michael Jackson.
These are people that attract fans without being in a specific production.
And that's why Leo and all them other superduperblockbuster people will
never see the camera end of a George Lucas director production. (good thing

See, that's the problem. There aren't any actors that fall in the age range
to play Anakin. Most of the Hollywood types that have earned my respect are
older actors & actresses. I have yet to see an actor around DeCaprio's age
that I think would be perfect for the role. DeCaprio is the perfect age for
the role, but I don't feel that his acting style would suit it very well.
He's not a let's go slaughter all the Jedi's kind of guy. Every time he

worst possible choice for the role of Anakin, but he is the most absolute,
overrated, non-actor since Kevin Costner! To put that rediculous, boyish
face behind a Jedi's cloak and call him Anakin...............
George lucas is a smart man. I have every faith in him and all who
have anything to do with Lucasfilm's casting department, that that kind of
sacrilegious act would never take place. Liam Neeson was an excellent
choice, in my opinion. He brings the kind of class to the films in the way
that Guiness and Cushing did. Sam Jackson on the other hand........
I once heard that Kenneth Brannagh would be used for an older Ben,
although it turned out to be just a rumor. He would be good for Ben and
Micheal Bien would be good for an older Anakin. I'm aware of the plans for
their ages and the times in which the story is going to take place, but they
have that kind of persona.....NOT LEO!

It is impossible for Leo to play Anakin Skywalker. He is too short. Vader
is one tall mother. He is a lot taller than Obi-Wan. I don't think Vader
was wearing Kiss boots either. I think that it will be an unknown. One
actor that I thought might be good would be the guy in the wheel chair
from Gattaca. He kind of has a look of evil to him, however, I am not sure
how tall he is?

"darker" side of life...hmmm, playing a heroin addict is pretty dark and
depressing, don't you think? In "Marvin's Room" he's played a thug...so he can
certainly play the guy walking outside the line of the law...
And I think it was said earlier that it's become the "in" thing to dislike
Leo...kinda like it's hip to dislike punk bands that have "sold out" by actually
getting paid for their work. I don't think I've seen a bad performance from Leo
yet...
I don't really think it would be such a HORRIBLE thing to see Leo in EP2, I
actually think it's worse to see Quentin Tarantino actually trying to be an
actor...*shudder* now THAT'S a horrible thing to behold....

I think you're talking about Ethan Hawke. He's my favourite for the
role too, but I don't think Lucas will cast him. I don't know how tall
he is, but Darth Vader's great height could be partially due to his
body armor ("he's more machine than man now"). Remember that Luke and
Leia were pretty small, so I don't think their father could be very
tall. I don't think Natalie Portman is so tall either. BTW, Ethan
Hawke won a poll on TheForce.net concerning who would play Anakin in
Episode II. Check it out. (www.theforce.net, on the Jedi Council
Casting Call page.)

Okay, this is exactly the point I wanted to make (besides Ethan Hawke being
Anakin). I know people don't want me to keep harping on this, but Leo DOES
look like an older Jake Lloyd, he is a GOOD actor (contrary to all protests),
and I was thinking the exact same thing along with Obi Wan's line, "He's more
machine than man". Then we got all these comments about how Leo is too short
to play the role. I also thought about that, and, well, Darth Vader was
probably more cyborg than man after he fell in the volcano pit or whatever,
so maybe the Emperor or somebody pulled a "Six-Million Dollar Man" thing and
fixed him with not only the breathing apparatus, etc., but also artificial
limbs and so forth if they were damaged enough. SO, he could do it. I think
the only reason people say he couldn't do it is because they think he is a
teenager-mobbed piece of fluff, which he is NOT, no matter what anyone says.
It's not like he has just the screaming teenager thing going on. HE IS A
GOOD ACTOR. He could stand alone without all the "hearthrob" garbage. 'Nuf
said.

Ok, I agree with that, but the main point of my post was to show that
Vader could be taller after he got the body armor. By the way, does
anyone know how tall Sebastian Shaw (the guy who played Anakin at the
end of ROTJ) is? That would be the height of Anakin Skywalker too.

I was not referring to Ethan Hawke, he is too short also. I was referring
to the guy in the wheelchair. He is English. In addition, he looks like an
older Jake. Vaders Armor would not make him any taller. He is not wearing
KISS boots. In the final shot of Anakin in Jedi, it is evident that he is
very tall as he towers over Obi-Wan who is barely taller than Luke. So,
they need to find a tall actor. Anakin will be roughly 18 in Episode 2,
and everyone finishes growing by that time in most cases. Leo is
definately done growing, and so am I as I stand 6"1 or so.
Later!

Could you find some more information on the guy in the wheelchair? I
can't seem to find out who he is in Gattaca. I never saw it myself. Do
you remember what his characters name was?
Could you try to find out exactly how tall Sebastian Shaw is? I'll try
too. Also try to find out how tall the guy in the wheelchair is, so we
can compare. Maybe we could give Lucas a hint.... :)

a good actor or not, but it would give the movie a neat twist. It'd also be
pretty realistic, since he looks a little like Luke. DiCaprio definitely does
not.

I'm in the half that doesn't want him. Pedophilia is not my thing.
His voice is indeed whiny and shrill. Totally wrong for Anakin, who
after all is eventually going to sound like James Earl Jones. And I've
only seen him give one good performance, in Total Eclipse.

Gilbert
>>> Grape. And Basketball Diaries was a fine movie. Titanic wasn't bad
either.
I think the thing with Leo is he used his talents in Gilbert Grape,
basketball diaries etc when he wasn't famous and he needed to show what he
could do ... these days after r+j and titanic all he needs to do is stand in
front of the camera and everyone's all "wow". Remember that first bit in
titanic when he's drawing and all you see are his eyes? I saw it the day it
came out in Aus, and the entire female audience swooned as one. When an
actor gets that big, they start to think they can just act with their looks,
which leads to cr@p like man in the iron mask
i agree he wouldn't be a good anakin, i just don't see it ever happening
