Hunky Ewan McGregor and teen dream Hayden Christensen, who costar in the upcoming Star Wars Episode
II: Attack of the Clones, have both had gay sex on-screen. But why can't the student be more like the teacher?
McGregor, who plays wise Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi, put out great gay-positive vibes when he unsheathed
his light saber for other men in The Pillow Book and Velvet Goldmine. Christensen, who plays Darth Vader in training, gets
his own man-on-man action in the current Life as a House. But for gay audiences, it's a preview of the dark side of the Force.
When Christensen turns a trick for drug money in House, we're supposed to know he's hit bottom. And--oh,
by the way--a gay blackmail twist resolves the film.
Will McGregor bestow some of that good pro-gay Force on Christensen in Episode II? We say yes: Surely
they're not calling it Attack of the Clones for nothing.
