I agree.  There's also a much stronger resemblance between Rick Schroder and
Jake Lloyd.  That never hurts!  I've always liked NYPD Blue, but Jimmy Smits
is sorely missed IMHO.

Yes, my wife and I have NEVER liked NYPD Blue, nor have we watched it --
until a few episodes this season.  I think Rick Schroder (sp?) has done a
very commendable job in his NYPD role, and I have no reason to believe he
couldn't do a great job as Anakin.

As someone else pointed out, he's tougher looking and has enough rough • edges
to convincingly portray someone going through what Anakin will go through.
I'd certainly prefer him over Leo for all the reasons above and several
others I haven't mentioned here.  Actually, come to think of it, Schroder's
my first choice for this role (certainly better than that Joshua Jackson • kid
from the silly unnamed teen age soap opera -- $%@#!).  He and the main
character from this show have both been rumored for the Anakin role.

I could live with a love story in the SW universe. But I'd still want it

A fantastic rescue would be in order here.
