Episode III. |
He's truly one of the great filmmakers, and just a visionary storyteller, ... So to get to sort of be a part of his world for these past couple of films has been pretty amazing. I feel greatly indebted to the man. |

I was looking forward to this film because this was the side of Anakin's character that I was really looking forward to playing ... that sort of transitional phase of his life where he goes to the dark side. |
I'm just this kid from Toronto who got his start. |
Last time I was here, I went up to the archives and got shown around, and there was the dark helm, ... I asked if I could put it on and get a picture, which is pretty funny, because I'm wearing this gray track suit and had this enormous helmet on which is just completely disproportionate. |
