In some methods, it could make extra sense for her to look in Ahsoka. The present has used flashbacks each within the conventional sense and thru the unusual limbo area the World Between Worlds to indicate characters and moments from Ahsoka’s previous. We noticed Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) work together with Anakin, her former Jedi grasp, final season, so it’s not outdoors of this present’s purview to discover a solution to carry again Padmé from the previous for brand new scenes.
Within the animated sequence Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Tales of the Jedi, Padmé and Ahsoka are proven to have a detailed relationship. Simply as Anakin is sort of a brother to her, Padmé is like an older sister. After Padmé’s loss of life, Ahsoka even dangers potential seize simply to attend her funeral on Naboo. She not solely had the lack of Anakin to take care of within the aftermath of Order 66, she needed to take care of dropping Padmé too.
Whereas bringing characters again from the lifeless for the sake of nostalgia is one thing we actually consider Star Wars ought to take a step again from, we’ll make an exception to see Portman once more, particularly after her smaller, grim position in Revenge of the Sith. Simply as Christensen and McGregor have had an opportunity to step again into their Clone Wars-era roles and construct Star Wars legacy outdoors of the Prequel movies, Portman ought to have an opportunity to do this with Padmé. She is such an attention-grabbing character, and sadly the prequels don’t totally do her justice, regardless of Portman’s finest efforts.
If Obi-Wan Kenobi actually did nearly carry Portman again, it’s a disgrace we didn’t get to see it, whilst deleted scenes. Hopefully if and when she does return to Star Wars, she’ll get the fanfare she deserves from Lucasfilm and followers alike.
