Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Padmé Amidala is one of the most iconic characters of the entire Star Wars franchise, but 25 years after her debut in Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace, it’s still unclear who else was up for the role. Natalie Portman brought the character to life, being just 16 years old during the filming of The Phantom Menace.

Jackson playing iconic characters. Vinette Robinson Is The Only Known Actress To Audition For Padme Besides Natalie Portman, the only other actress known to have auditioned for the role of Padmé Amidala is Vinette Robinson. Robinson revealed that her audition for Star Wars was her first-ever audition.
Why So Little Is Known About Padme's Casting Call It’s hard to imagine anyone else bringing Padmé Amidala to life in live-action, but George Lucas and his team did audition many actors for the Star Wars prequels, and it’s odd that even 25 years later, viewers don’t know who else was up for the role. This is likely because Lucas and his team were auditioning minors and releasing the names of children who didn’t end up getting a role wasn’t seen as best practice.
