| Darkest of the Prequels
Natalie Portman says that it is the darkest of the prequels. That's not really a surprise, considering the subject matter. Quote: from SciFi Wire
Portman: Episode III Goes Dark
Natalie Portman, who reprises the role of Padmé Amidala in the upcoming prequel Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith, told SCI FI Wire that the final film in George Lucas' SF saga is even darker than previous installments. "As far as the filming, yes, it's darker," Portman said in an interview. "It was really intense. We worked really hard. Hayden [Christensen] and Ewan [McGregor] were both amazing, and Ian McDiarmid. We all worked hard, and hopefully we'll see a good movie when it comes out."
Episode III, the last of three Star Wars prequel films, chronicles the eventual transformation of Anakin Skywalker (Christensen) into Darth Vader. Portman again plays Anakin's secret wife and the mother of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia; McGregor plays his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Portman said that she felt a little sad that Episode III marks the end of her Star Wars experience. "It was a big chunk of my life," she said. "It was 10 years from the time I started to the time the next film comes out. So, as with all phase changes in life, it's both sad, because you're not going to go back and see the same people, and then exciting as to what is ahead." Episode III opens May 19, 2005.
