Take a look at the candidates for each role, then vote in the polls to pick the best person to play each character.

Start here with the nominees to play young Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christensen). We need someone strong and heroic who eventually becomes Darth Vader. After voting for your pick to play Skywalker, we'll take you to the poll to choose who should play Senator Padmé Amidala.


Eric Crouch
Page 2's pick.

Mike Dunleavy Jr.
The guy can return to Duke where he'll quite possibly be the ACC player of the year. ... But no, the power of the "dark side" is too strong. He instead decides to declare himself eligible for the draft. His dad could play the emperor, seriously. Just think about it.
Brian Smith, Boone, N.C.

Roger Clemens
Started out great, lots of promise, only to become more powerful when he switched to the dark side and became a dreaded Yankee. Why, Roger? Why?
Matt Boucher, Austin, Texas

Jason Giambi
"Someone strong and heroic who makes a fateful decision with (potentially) evil results ..." Sounds an awful lot like Jason Giambi bringing his mighty light saber to the dark side and wielding it for the forces of evil.
Mike Miller, North Bend, Wash.

Andy Roddick
A perfect match for the brash and arrogant Anakin. Both of them are ridiculously talented in their profession and will stop at nothing to become all powerful.
Mike Bloomberg, Rochester, N.Y.

Alex Rodriguez
The young superstar with all the talent in the world leaves the Emerald City to go to the dark side of Texas to play with the Bounty Hunter Boba Rocker and Jaba the Carl Everett.
Matt Tierney, Boston
