Born in 1981, Portman is a fan-favorite actress who made her on-screen debut in 1994’s Léon: The Professional. As a child actress, she immediately made a good impression on critics and audiences alike. When she was cast to be part of a successful franchise like Star Wars, she was still a teenager. Portman was in her mid-20s when the prequel trilogy officially wrapped up.

After starring in Star Wars, Portman’s career took off. In later years, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as a troubled ballerina in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan.

The prequel trilogy covers the events that range from 32 BBY to 19 BBY, the year of Order 66 and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Padmé was first introduced as the Queen of Naboo in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and later became a prominent senator in the Galactic Republic.

Her romantic relationship with Anakin, which started in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, played a significant role in the events leading to the rise of Darth Vader. Ultimately, she met a tragic fate in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, dying after giving birth to the twins Luke and Leia Skywalker.
