Still a fan of sand? Natalie Portman revealed she’d be interested in reprising her role in the Star Wars universe — but someone has to approach her about it, first.  

Natalie Portman is tackling fan-asked questions and sharing some fascinating tidbits about her career — including some key questions about her role in the franchise.The actress recently sat down for the video segment «Actually Me,» in which she went onto various online forums and fielded fan questions with official, candid answers.One moment that has drawn a lot of interest came when someone on Reddit asked if her character from the prequels, Padme, might ever return to the franchise in some future film.«I have no information on this. No one's ever asked me to return,» Portman revealed, before adding the hopeful addendum, «but I'm open to it.»While Portman's Queen Padme Amidala starred in George Lucas' prequel trilogy — and served as a key character who was both a love interest for Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and the mother of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia — she died after giving birth at the end of Her character's death meant she wasn't involved in the sequel trilogy.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Natalie Portman told GQ magazine that she’s open to returning to the “Star Wars” franchise, 18 years after “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” served as her exit from the long-running space saga. Portman starred in all three of George Lucas’ prequel films as Padmé Amidala, who wins the heart of Anakin Skywalker. “I have no information on this,” Portman said when a fan floated the idea of her coming back to the franchise. “No one’s ever asked me to return, but I’m open to it.” Portman’s Padmé died in labor after giving birth to Luke and Leia in “Revenge of the Sith,” but the “Star Wars” franchise has a history of bringing back long-presumed dead characters (see “Phantom Menace” villain Darth Maul popping back up in “Solo.”).

interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the “Thor: Love and Thunder” director said that he had totally forgotten that Natalie Portman had starred in the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy, according to the Wrap. The 46-year-old “Jojo Rabbit” director said that while they were filming “Love and Thunder,” he actually asked Portman if she had ever wanted to be in a “Star Wars” film.“She said to me, ‘What are you up to next?’ I said ‘Oh, I’m trying to work on a “Star Wars” thing. Have you ever wanted to be in a “Star Wars” movie?’ ” said Waititi.“She said, ‘I’ve been in a “Star Wars” movie,’ and I went ‘… should we do another take?’ ”Portman starred as Queen Padmé Amidala in the franchise’s first prequel installment, 1999’s “The Phantom Menace,” alongside Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor and would later reprise her role in 2002 for “Attack of the Clones” and 2005’s “Revenge of the Sith.” Lucasfilm announced on May 4, 2022 that Waititi would be directing his own theatrical “Star Wars” film, but the production company was unclear about when Waititi’s addition to the franchise would debut.

Rose Byrne dropped by Thursday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show, where the host reminded her that it was the 20th anniversary of one of the “Star Wars” prequel movies.

Keira Knightley had a role in one of the biggest Star Wars blockbusters — but she’s not exactly sure who she played! While her memory may not be clear, the rabid fans of the iconic sci-fi films will undoubtedly recall the British beauty taking on Sabé, a handmaiden and body double of Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo (played by Natalie Portman) in 1999’s Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. “Was I not Padmé?” Keira sincerely asked during a discussion with ComingSoon.net in 2020. “Oh, I was Sabé,” she hilariously corrected herself.
