There are in style franchises, after which there’s Star Wars. Generations have grown up with the galaxy far far, away, (which is streaming with a Disney+ subscription) so there are tons of passionate followers who’ve spent years watching the Star Wars films so as. Over the previous few years a lot of actors from the prequel trilogy have reprised their roles, together with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. A wild Star Wars rumor claims Natalie Portman is lastly returning as Padme, and I like the way it may go down.
With George Lucas’ franchise exhibiting no indicators of slowing down, upcoming Star Wars films and TV reveals are overlaying completely different factors within the timeline. Followers have been ready for the reason that prequels for Portman to probably reprise her function as Padme Amidala, and a rumor circulating on-line (by way of CBM) claims that she’ll as soon as once more play Luke and Leia’s mom in Season 2 of Ahsoka.
That is only a rumor at this level, so we must always most likely take it with a grain of salt in the meanwhile. However for the reason that Ahsoka sequence had loads of focus in regards to the title character’s previous within the animated sequence, it does not appear completely out of the query. In any case, the primary season featured Hayden Christensen as Anakin/Vader.
After all, the Padme’s demise in Revenge of the Sith provides a serious roadblock to how, narratively, Portman may lastly play that function once more. If the rumor is true, then I’ve to imagine that could be executed by way of a flashback or a Power imaginative and prescient within the World Between Worlds like (the one she had of Anakin and Rex).
Since George Lucas’ Star Wars prequels have been launched, Natalie Portman has remained synonymous together with her three films as Padme, the Galactic Senator and former Queen of Naboo. The Oscar-winning actress stated she was open to returning to Star Wars, however the large query was how and when. Whereas some might need been hoping to see her on the massive display screen, probably the most logical manner for this reprisal to happen might be by means of a TV present like Ahsoka.
Solely time will inform if this casting rumor performs out, however the stress appears on for returning Star Wars reveals like Ahsoka and Andor. A future isn’t any assure for his or her of those burgeoning franchises, as was made evident when The Acolyte was cancelled, regardless of what number of cliffhangers have been included within the finale. And bringing again extra legacy characters like Padme could be one method to hold Rosario Dawson’s sequence prime of thoughts for the fandom.
Except for her function as Padme, followers are additionally questioning if/when Portman will return as Jane Foster in an upcoming Marvel film, particularly after Thor 4′s credit scene confirmed her in Valhalla.
It is at present unclear when Ahsoka‘s second season will arrive on Disney+. For now, take a look at the TV premiere checklist to plan your subsequent binge watch.
