Natalie Portman Reportedly in Talks to Reprise Padmé Amidala Role in Ahsoka Season 2

Rumors suggest the Star Wars prequel trilogy star is close to a deal for a potential appearance in the Disney+ series.

Natalie Portman, who last played Padmé Amidala in 2005's Revenge of the Sith, is reportedly in discussions to return to the Star Wars franchise for Ahsoka Season 2.
Showrunner Dave Filoni is said to be actively working to bring Portman back, with sources indicating negotiations are nearing completion but not yet finalized.
The rumored appearance could involve the World Between Worlds, a mystical Force realm previously featured in Ahsoka Season 1, allowing for interactions with characters from different timelines.
Other reports suggest that Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), and Ariana Greenblatt (young Ahsoka) may also return for flashback or World Between Worlds sequences.
Fans have long called for Padmé’s return to explore her relationships with Ahsoka and other characters, potentially expanding on her role within the Star Wars mythos.
