I hope she lived a long and happy life somewhere on a planet far, far away. I think I was 12 when I did it, and I saw it the year after and I've never seen it again. The rest of the exchange only gets worse, with Knightley bursting into laughter at the suggestion of reprising the role. The interviewer mentions the fact that Knightley's character, Sabe, could conceivably return given that she survived the events of the prequels, as opposed to Padme, leading the actor to jump in and question whether she played Padme or not. Now, in an interview with Coming Soon, Knightley has proven that she cares very little for the Star Wars universe, getting confused over whether she played Padme or not, and needing the interviewer to remind her who she played.
