Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in Cannes

Today she has the galaxy at her feet as one of the main characters in George Lucas' long-awaited sixth and final instalment of the Star Wars saga. Natalie Portman turned up for the Film Festival in Cannes, looking as cute as ever in her striking shaven-headed look. Samuel Jackson, Hayden Christensen, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine aka Ian McDiarmid accompanied her, meeting up with Director George Lucas and the rest of the film crew gaining a lot of attention. Whether the film will be a major success should be interesting to see, but we always look back with joy at the days of Han Solo and Princess Leia. This film is the prequel to the original 1977 Star Wars and completes the story of how Anakin Skywalker was drawn to the dark side of The Force - all of which took place A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... The film has its UK premiere tonight, and the general worldwide release is on 19 May.
