While I'm not going to debate Portman's performance in SW as you guys are pretty entrenched, I think she is not a bad actress overall. An actress can only do so much with the cheesy lines and bad directing she's given, you know. Besides, most of the SW characters are pretty much cliche to begin with, so no amount of flawless acting is going to make them any more credible.
You guys watch Closer and then you honestly tell me she has no acting skills.
Oh, and Han's line isn't cheesy. It's a freaking classic. :cool:
