Does she hate Star Wars?
..?
shareIt's hard to say, considering it launched her into stardom. The fact that she has mostly shied away from acting in sci-fi movies for the past 15 years might give a clue. I think she still shows up for Star Wars conventions, but I can't confirm that.
shareLOL!
"launched her into stardom" ?
are you joking?
she is on record as saying this practically ENDED her career
But remember, she then went and worked her way back up after she finished "Revenge of the Sith," and she's still famous for her other films, not just "Star Wars." Sadly, a lot of the movies she was in after that sucked, the biggest offenders being "Closer" and "Black Swan."
shareSO THE OSCAR WINNERS?
shareLaunched her career???
She was the big name star at the time.
Nobody outside of Hollywood knew who she was until "Star Wars Episode I" came out.
shareWrong. Leon launched her with one of the best child performances ever, and she has hovered around upper echelons of Hollywood ever since, flitting between mega budget blockbusters and Oscar-bait dramas.
shareI'm not talking about the inner workings of Hollywood. Fame doesn't mean jack shit if us regular peasants don't even know the person's name beyond the borders of L.A.
share‘Regular peasants’ might not but the general public are very familiar with her from her big budget and Oscar-bait films.
share"Regular peasants" and "general public" mean the same thing.
Let's put it this way; the only people who knew about her before "Star Wars," were people within the sphere of show biz. Very few people watched films like "The Professional" or "Mars Attacks!" or went to see her in the Broadway version of "Anne Frank," nor would they even remember her in those films/plays.
She became a household name for Star Wars fans after playing Queen Amidala and later Padme, and people are gonna forever remember her for that role.
Only reason she even won an Oscar was because she literally worked her ass off (and almost destroyed her sanity) by acting in an indie film most people would have ignored, and it not been for other people campaigning for it among the Academy members at parties.
To answer the original question, I think she dislikes the fallout of playing Padme, but she doesn't regret that it made her famous.
No, she was at least a B-list star, a solidly bankable name and general audiences were very familiar with her.
shareShe was already A-List and very much in demand at the time.
shareWhich only furthers my point.
shareBesides the one on your head? I have explained it to you multiple times, but you refuse to listen, that's the sign of a willful idiot. Take to heart this phrase, droop:
"The only thing worse than stupidity is aggressive stupidity."
Your ‘explanation’ is ignorant guff you pulled out of your ass, and you’ve been corrected by two people now. By all means continue though - it’s fun watching you smash your head against the wall repeatedly with your bizarre need to downplay an actress’ popularity.
