A big new Star Wars rumor has surfaced, and this one is about the possible return of Natalie Portman as Padmé Amidala in Ahsoka Season 2. According to insider Kristian Harloff on his podcast, Dave Filoni, the series' showrunner, is reportedly making a strong push to bring the actress back into the galaxy far, far away. He said: “I got word that Filoni is really trying hard to get this one character back. I don’t think it’s a signed deal yet, but it’s close, and it looks like, in Ahsoka, returning could be one Natalie Portman.”If true, this could be a big moment for fans of the prequel trilogy, where Portman first appeared as Padmé, the young queen-turned-senator of Naboo. Her character’s arc was tragic as it culminated in her death during childbirth as Anakin Skywalker fully embraced the dark side. Her last appearance was in Revenge of the Sith (2005).Speculation about Padmé’s return naturally leads to the World Between Worlds, that mystical plane introduced in Star Wars Rebels and explored in Ahsoka Season 1. This dimension has already served as a backdrop for emotional reunions, like Ahsoka's with her former master Anakin Skywalker. It could now provide a space for Padmé to reconnect with Ahsoka or Anakin?The potential return of Padmé is bound to stir up some conversation, speculation, and debate. But, it would be cool to see Portman reprise her role, especially fans who’ve been wanting to see her character return in some way. There are also rumors of Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor reprising their roles as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Ahsoka Season 2, so bringing the prequel trilogy’s legacy characters into the spotlight once again is sure to get fans excited.What do you think about the possibility of Natalie Portman possibly stepping back into the role of Padme?
