A role that slipped away
Newsweek magazine reported in December 1999 that Jackson was likely to take the part of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. He lost the opportunity shortly after, and publications blamed the earlier publicity, since George Lucas preferred privacy.
