James Earl Jones did the voice ... somebody else walked around in the costume.
Billy Dee Williams was easy on the eyes, and has such a mellow voice. Now imagine Jada Pinkett Smith or Halle Berry as Queen Amidala, instead of flat-voiced, flat-figured Natalie ... that would have been cool!
I certainly don't care for Natalie's politics but she is anything but "flat figured".
Portman was creepy enough, but little Ani hitting on Halle Berry? She's got to be what, 20 years older than him?
