...then there's our familiar cast of characters, only much younger and less cautious. Jake Lloyd is young Anakin Skywalker, soon to become Darth Vader. Liam Neeson dons Jedi gear, Natalie Portman assumes her role as queen, and Samuel Jackson even throws in a oneliner. Leading the cast is Ewan McGregor as the young Obi-Wan-Kenobi (if you think about what Titanic did for DiCaprio, imagine what will happen to indie-film-loving McGregor). Lucas knows that characters--unlike many sci-fi special effects extravaganzas--are the key Star Wars' success. Thus, he casts B-list stars that blend...
Boys play the game too, with Spiderman, Darth Vader, Batman and Zorro emerging as the most common trick-or-treaters. At Boston Costume, Puritan Boy outfits and Greek tunics sat untouched while a bevy of boys with tired parents weighed the dilemma of Superman versus the bleeding monster. Closer to home, Michael Zanger-Tishler (age 3 3/4, son of Abby Zanger, Associate Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures) said he was dressing up as a fireman because "that's what I am!"

One of his slyest techniques is to include in his CDs--like his current solo album, MP Da Last Don--promotional materials for his other records...

A blackguard worthy of the two Zorros' steel, he's richly realized by Stuart Wilson as a sort of Darth Vader of romance, helplessly embracing its dark side. Long ago he killed Diego's wife, with whom he was in love, and then abducted their daughter to raise as his own. Played in adulthood by the ravishingly beautiful and wonderfully spirited Catherine Zeta- Jones, she is, of course, destined to find both her true father and her true love behind one Zorro mask or another...
...hardly surprising that all of us loved the RAD class. It was suddenly, joyously appropriate--no, expected--for us to throw our weight, stretch our vocal cords around "NO," assert our physical presence against large men in Darth Vader-esque uniforms. We didn't even want them to let us win; one woman made sure to ask that they not let her get away so easily again. I personally wished for another round...
