Liv practically had to stay nearly a year to shoot her scenes during the production of LOTR (principal photography was done all at once for all three films). Of course, there may be a case of reshoots (they did reshoots of the third film past summer and fall).For Star Wars, the follow the same film production format (one film at a time) with ocassional reshoots.As for the casting of adult Anakin, maybe Hayden Christiansen may not be the right actor, but he did perform the role of a typical prodigy very well. I was skeptical at first, but when you meet such a prodigy in real life and spend some time observing their behavior, Hayden pretty much hit the target.I guess for the one who will become Darth Vader, one would expect his character's demeanor to be larger than life, probably one who does not display outbursts in public, but always scheming, ambitious ... you know those quiet-type of guy who for some reason one look at him and you try to distance yourself, even in a crowded elevator.</blockquote>
