> I heard something from the rumor mill yesterday: supposedly, Lucas & Co. are hoping to cast Leonardo DiCaprio as the teenage Anakin Skywalker for Star Wars Episode II.

Not true. Lucas wants to cast someone his age, so naturally his name makes the list, but that's as far as it goes so far. Anything's possible, I suppose, but I highly doubt he'd be cast. It's not hard to see how that particular rumor got started. At the same time, although face-recognition surely does count against him, he *is* a good actor. People forget that he had a highly respected career before "Titanic" blinded the masses to anything but his newfound public image.

Personally, I'm hoping a relative unknown is cast.
