Natalie Portman plays a chin cushion in Revenge of the Sith.
Finally got around to seeing this, albeit only on the small screen. I never knew there could be anything more tedious than Parsifal. I notice now that the female characters in the Star Wars movies have gotten progressively more inactive and ornamental. Remember Princess Leah? She was expected to do some fighting and solve problems. But that was the 1970s. This episode’s Padmé has all the dynamism of a hydrogen atom at the end of the universe. Not even spectacular CG battles could keep my eye on the screen. I’m not very demanding when it comes to space opera. A few nice visuals, maybe a clever line or two is all it takes to keep me happy. But I would have been pissed off if I had paid theatre prices to see this.
