Will Natalie Portman be back in her unique Queen Amidala gear for the final installment of the Skywalker “Star Wars” sequel trilogy?
Highly doubtful, none the less everyone loves a good rumor.
According to YouTuber Mike Zeroh (via MovieWeb), Portman – currently downunder on a family holiday – the latest “leak” from the set of “Episode IX” is that Luke and Leia’s mother will return for a quick scene with grandson Kylo Ren (Adam Driver).
In Star Wars 9, it is ‘rumored’ that Kylo Ren will be seen walking on a metallic bridge in a very dark environment. As though he were walking through space. He comes to a door with an oval shape, surrounded by blue lights. Through the doorway appears a vision from the past. He sees Padme’s funeral on Naboo, as seen at the end of Revenge of the Sith. The camera pans across Kylo Ren’s face, shock seeps into his cheek bones, he is surprised to see his Gradma for the first time. It’s being described as the same kind of look a Star Wars Youtuber with toes for thumbs might get when sneaking to the fridge late at night to discover that all the Thanksgiving pie is gone. Utter disbelief.
The shot cuts to Padme holding the Japor snippet necklace that Anakin made for her. It is clutched in her dead hands. Kylo Ren looks down and sees the same, or a similar necklace, locked in his own tight grip. There are blurry shots of Anakin choking Padme. Kylo witnesses the infancy of Darth Vader before the suit. It’s not quite clear how Kylo Ren feels about this. It doesn’t appear that Kylo inserts himself into the space time continuum of past Star Wars mythology to manipulate events that have already happened.
Salt. Grained.
Meanwhile, word has hit -and courtesy Moviehole alum Adam Frazier (who has gone on to bigger and better things!) – that Luke Skywalker was originally supposed to appear in Rey’s force vision in “The Force Awakens”. According to ‘The Fraze’, a young actor named Robert Boulter was cast to play the younger incarnation of the whiny but beloved Jedi in the scene.
Rey’s "Force Vision" in THE FORCE AWAKENS originally included Luke & Vader's duel from The Empire Strikes Back. The scene was cut but thanks to Reddit, we're finally getting our first look at what ESB Luke would have looked like in TFA, played by Robert Boulter. Wild stuff. pic.twitter.com/oMWl7cM72Q
