I read somewhere recently that she said she would be open to returning for a guest appearance in maybe a flashback sequence, so long as the story was good, and didn’t contradict her character’s story.

Not so much a tradition as practicality. Star Wars is a universe, one with trilogies, one with almost guaranteed sequels/prequels/development to stories. So there's obviously a cost benefit. But also the fact you don't want to bring in a world-renowned actor into Star Wars as a major role. Imagine Chris Hemsworth in Star Wars, it'd look off wouldn't it? Yeah Star Wars likes hiring 'no-names', but that's not a tradition and one they do frequently break. Like Pedro Pascal. Hiring no-names is a very flexible benefit that Star Wars regularly breaks when it's feasible. Also doesn't mean Natalie Portman can't reprise her role.
If disney/star wars will make a live action of darth vader comics, portman can play all padmes handmaiden ... She has like 5, so they don't have to worry about casting more actors
Pretty sure she said she's open to return but no one has contacted her which still could be because of Disney's money thinking ways plus they already paid her for Thor
I prefer no names, not for flashback type stuff, but for new stories. I hated seeing terminator genesis and thinking "hey that's the game of thrones chick playin Sarah Connor" and other stuff like that. It's more immersive if it's the first time seeing a person and it gets me into it more
Flashbacks are a thing lol Plus Padme had 13 handmaidens in total. Minus Cordé, and maybe some others, there's probably at least 1 who managed to survive til the end of the Empire. In the Darth Vader comics, 5 of them (including Sabé who was played by Kiera Knightley in Episode 1) confronted Vader and iirc he let them live
@@mitsukitai2713 "Flashbacks are a thing lol" You're too stupid to participate in the conversation. Go ask an adult to explain to you how and why seeing a dead character again cheapens the narrative impact of the character's death.
The reason could be that Vader doesn't want to reflect on what he lost with Padme and therefor their wouldn't be any flashbacks, especially since those like Obi Wan were connected to Anakin and not Padme.
Well, Hayden Christensen is also 40 years old, and nevertheless he played 19 years old Padawan in Kenobi Series, so her age is not important in this case
@@stevenschnepp576Yes, I agree with you that he looks older, but I do not care and I think that lot of people also do not care and they enjoyed that scene. The De-aging effect was used, but not to the full extent. That's why he looked older. If they wanted to, they would do better. So yes, they both look older, but it's not too bad in my opinion. I honestly got used to it
I always thought it was because back in the day Star Wars kinda tanked her reputation for a bit considering how poorly received those movies were. I can’t really blame her if she wants nothing to do with the IP especially considering the state the franchise and its owners are in now
I've noticed that, with one exception, pretty much every science fiction or fantasy movie she's been in has sucked. I'm starting to think she might have something to do with it.
So for all you brainlets saying Disney can afford it - just because you can pay for something doesn't mean you can afford it, or that you'll see a return on investment if you can. The company has been doing poorly of late. Burning cash on a cameo is not what a company losing money does if it wants to remain solvent.
In short a corporation that has more money than talent or brains wants to spend as little as money as possible to make massive profits and poclet the money with no regard to the quality of what they do.
That has nothing to do with it 😂 none of the stories we’ve gotten so far have needed Padme. You answered your own question. None of the stories we’ve gotten have centered on Vader. So Padme has not been needed. Rogue One wasn’t his story. Rebels wasn’t his story. Kenobi wasn’t his story.
There’s no place for her. She’s been dead since RotS. She’s not Force sensitive; she can’t come back as a Force Ghost. She could come back as a memory, I suppose, but to what end?
There’s no reason to have her return. She died in episode 3. You can’t bring her back (unless you want to somehow use time travel/ dimensions like they did to keep milking Ahsoka)
Getting unknown actors for the sequels served the same purpose as getting unknowns for the original and prequel trilogys. There was literally nothing wrong with the casting. There were problems with literally everything else though. Just direct the sequel hate where it belongs.
There's also the fact that she is a good actress and demands it of others as well. To the point where it becomes overbearing. She is smart and a good actor. But she is known for demanding more of people than they can reasonably give. It's not a bad thing on it's own. It's the fact that she doesn't know when to back off.
why doesn't padme come back yet people like palpatine, boba and bail do? well padme is dead, palpatine is plot armor incarnate and the most powerful sith of all time, boba fell in a sarlacc, which takes thousands of years to actually kill it's food and he had the benefit of a fucking flamethrower, and bail just hasn't died yet. but padme is dead. she was a normal human and she died in childbirth, that's how her story ended.
They need to stop with these established characters and flashbacks. Like sure do a few in the first few episodes of a series but after that build on the hundreds of other stories that are just as interesting with tons of characters that we want fleshed put and see where they fit into everything.
Has nothing to do with "afford". Portman hated those movies and if she wasn't as talented of an actress, she would have lost her entire career like Hayden. Why would she risk coming back?
Oh please, Disney has been throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars into a burning dumpster fire for years with their woke live action movie flops. They can spend 7 million dollars to bring in an actress into arguably their best money making series.

When your character dying is pretty important to the og trilogy it's pretty hard for the actress to return, stupid question

Keira Knightly is a another. She was padme's body double and hand maiden. In the phantom menace.
Disney being cost conscious lol they double the cost of almost every movie they produced by doing reshoots
The reason is because disney star wars is a disaster and a total joke
Then leave it alone, its just fine without you
She's opening to returning. The Problem is that Her Character played her role. Padme was the catalyst
The reason could be that Vader doesn't want to reflect on what he lost with Padme and therefor their wouldn't be any flashbacks, especially since those like Obi Wan were connected to Anakin and not Padme.
Taika waiti has offered a role to her in his star wars movie
A flash back showing some of that sweet sweet Anakin rizz (sarcasm implied)
Bro was getting hot before the short cut him off 😂😂
She's in Ahsoka...oh I've said too much....😂
Last I heard Natalie has not looked back to her star wars fondly. Which is sad.
Maybe because her character died and now she's roughly 25 years older.

Have her return as a former handmaiden like in the 2023 Darth Vader comics. She wouldn't need to have weird de-aging and it would be a cool story.
Natalie is over 40. She can’t play a twenty year old.
Well, Hayden Christensen is also 40 years old, and nevertheless he played 19 years old Padawan in Kenobi Series, so her age is not important in this case
Or she could be a handmaiden. After all there are 13 she had, minus Cordé and any who survived the rise of the Empire

If only they had people looking like Padmé. A bunch of handmaiden, perhaps. Kiera Knighlty probably too expensive as well.
I'm okay with not seeing Padme return for flashbacks. That would just cheapen the character's death.
John Boyega is the man!!! Attack the block bruv!!!
I love jimmy smits as bail organa
with the billions they've lost over the past couple years im not surprised their watching their pennies now😂
She is Natalie Portman. No one wants to pay her that much to be in a flashback scene
I ♡ Padme
Has it ever occur to you maybe Disney has asked Natalie Portman to come back to the Star Wars franchise ;and she’s the one that turned them down?

@@stevenschnepp576how could she have actually affected those movies? I think you're just being a picky negative person at this point
Well with the Strikes going on idk if this will change or not but I don't think plenty of us are against seeing Padmé one more time in live action
I am. Flashbacks cheapen a character's death when the whole point of the death is to drive the character who lost her into madness and despair.
They simply haven’t found a story where padme is needed. I don’t see why you need a flashback of padme for flash back purposes.
I want Daniel Logan to return as young Boba Fett.
They gotta give her something like Andor. Otherwise, I doubt she would come back even if they asked.
Somewhere-
Ewan McGregor - "Ouch. That's a bit harsh."
So for all you brainlets saying Disney can afford it - just because you can pay for something doesn't mean you can afford it, or that you'll see a return on investment if you can.
The company has been doing poorly of late. Burning cash on a cameo is not what a company losing money does if it wants to remain solvent.

Star wars doesnt use flashbacks. At least on Georges star wars
Past his prime? Expardonme!?! How dare you sir!
I find it weird that she’s not back in some form but the MCU managed to have her for three films
Natalie Portman would want too much money to return for what would pretty much be a cameo. She's never coming back to Star Wars.

Handmaidens and their desire to find who killed Padme.
Flashbacks could work, as well as the other person who suggested surviving handmaidens
Disney being broken is the best news.
Yay, a corporation that I dont like is failing which probably results in its workers having a hard time as well, woo hoo
You know if we weren't talking about Disney Star wars her being too expensive could be believable.
