Random Star Wars (http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=8230#) Trivia

Matthew Wood, the voice of General Grievous, also played another character in the Star Wars series. Who was it? (See end of the article for the answer.)

Hayden Christensen Interview

Hayden Christensen was interviewed by the Times Online and he had a lot to say about his role as Darth Vader (http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=8230#). You can read about it here (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,14931-1460597_1,00.html) and
here (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,14931-1460616,00.html). The following are some of the highlights:

What was it like donning the famous mask and suit for the first time?

The feeling is really hard to articulate. There was such a surreal, glossy quality to the two days when I got to wear the mask and the whole Darth Vader suit. It really capped what has been a very prominent part of my life.

The job I was given was to be the connective tissue between Jake Lloyd (young Anakin) and Darth Vader. Getting to put on the mask and everything, it was like, wow! The job is done.

You're four inches shorter than David Prowse, who played Vader in the original films. Is it true that George Lucas (http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=8230#) was originally planning to use another actor in the suit?

Yes, but I begged and pleaded and they were kind enough to build a suit that fitted me, and then they built on what was necessary to make my physicality the same as the original Darth Vader's. They had me in stilts under my heels to give me an extra four inches.

Are there any differences between your Vader and Prowse's?

Physically, because it's a brand new Vader suit, I think it's a little more symmetrical. My Vader is also a little more rigid - obviously he's brand new to the suit, so he's still getting acclimatised. There's a sense that he's finding his new skin, and not quite as comfortable with walking. Which was very important for me because - on stilts and with a twenty pound costume - I wasn't very graceful.
