I must admit that I found her to be quite attractive in Episode I (I think she was only 16 or 17 during filming). Don't get the wrong idea, it wasn't a "hey little girl, you want some candy" thing; rather, I was genuinely taken by how attractive she was.
Now, to know that she might share some of the same philosophies that I believe in...that's a bonus.
Most of the self-hating Jews in Hollywood wouldn't dare say what she said.
The way her face lit up right after Anakin Skywalker asked her if she was an angel made it worth the price of admission AND suffering through Jar-Jar Binks.
