- Bringing back Keira Knightley's Sabé would not only be an exciting Easter egg, but it would also allow for the exploration of Padmé Amidala's legacy and showcase Knightley's acting skills.
Star Wars has the perfect chance to bring back Keira Knightley's Sabé, Padmé Amidala's body double in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. George Lucas' Star Wars prequel trilogy introduced viewers to the beautiful planet Naboo, and to its young ruler, Natalie Portman's Padmé Amidala. The Queen of Naboo, Padmé was served by a group of dedicated handmaidens who swiftly proved key to her safety. One of them, Keira Knightley's Sabé, served as a body double to serve as a target for Padmé's enemies.
Star Wars has turned Sabé into a key player during the Dark Times of the Empire's reign. Sabé and the other handmaidens gathered together at Padmé's funeral in the aftermath of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and they sensed something dark and dangerous about this new Galactic Empire. They established a group known as the Amidalans, an early rebel cell operating on Naboo – ironically, the homeworld of Emperor Palpatine himself. The Amidalans would operate throughout the Dark Times, even targeting Darth Vader himself shortly after the events of The Empire Strikes Back.
