Natalie Portman talked to MTV News about the upcoming final prequel in the Star Wars saga and the main topic was the expected battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker (Christensen).
Portman recently finished her third and final scenes as Padme Amidala and had this to say about the production still going on, “I saw a pretty amazing fight scene between Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen,” the actress said. “It’s pretty sick.”
While she was reluctant to give further details about the fight itself, she did reveal something unusual about the high-energy dual. “They did it all themselves. They were thinking of having stuntmen do it, but they were better than the stuntmen. It’s pretty awesome.”
As far as the final product Portman is even in the dark as to how it will all turn out, “Is it gonna be worth it? We just shot it and we worked really hard. I think all of us were trying to make it as good as possible. It was our last chance to sort of, you know, do something with it,” she said. “So, I’m hoping. But they work on it for two years after we finish shooting, putting the special effects and all that stuff.”
“Star Wars Episode III” still is looking for a subtitle but is due in theaters May 25, 2005.
