Natalie Portman responds to rumours of Padme return in Star Wars: Episode IX

December 25, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Last month it was rumoured that Natalie Portman will be returning to the galaxy far, far away for a brief cameo as Padme Amidala in next year’s Star Wars: Episode IX, and now the Oscar-winning actress has weighed in on the report.

“I don’t know anything about that,” said Portman, who portrayed the Naboo Queen / Senator / mother to Luke and Leia in George Lucas’ Prequel Trilogy. “I’m guessing that’s not true because I don’t know about it yet.”

The original rumour did come from Mike Zeroh, a notoriously sketchy Star Wars YouTuber, so it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise if it turned out to be complete fabrication. Saying that however, if it is true, then Portman is highly unlikely to confirm it in an interview given Lucasfilm’s penchant for utmost secrecy, so we’ll just have to see how it pans out…
