Don't expect George Lucas to get all mushy just because his fifth "Star Wars" movie, "Episode II ? Attack of the Clones," focuses on the romance that produced those galaxy-surfing twins Luke and Leia.
It's "a love story in the 'Star Wars' tradition," says Lucas, who doesn't want to alienate the 12-year-olds targeted by the film. "I'd call it a love haiku more than a love sonnet."
The upcoming installment in the saga stars Natalie Portman as Sen. Padm? Amidala and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker ? a nice guy whose journey toward becoming Darth Vader is continued in this episode.
"How could somebody like that turn into Darth Vader?" Lucas asks in the March issue of Vanity Fair. "That's what we're trying to find out. That's the thing we all have to wrestle with, because it's basically a movie about any one of us, and what are the impulses that cause us to become evil."

I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
