An interesting theory has led many fans to believe that Natalie Portman could return to the Star Wars universe in Ahsoka Season 2. The theory sheds light on a fascinating lore that could prove to be a great plot for the second season. It has sparked a lot of curiosity and excitement among the fans who’ve been waiting for something unique in the franchise.
Here’s what the theory suggests.
Is Natalie Portman returning as Padmé for Ahsoka Season 2?
From the depths of the Star Wars lore, a theory has emerged that Natalie Portman, who played Padmé Amidala in the prequel series, could return in Ahsoka Season 2.
The Season 1 finale hinted at the return of Mortis Gods, a trio of gods representing the Force— the Father, the Son, and the Daughter. First introduced in Clone Wars, the Father is the keeper of balance in the Force, while the Son symbolizes the dark side, and the Daughter represents the light side.
The theory focuses on a fourth entity named Abeloth, once known as the “Mother.” Since she was a mortal, she wanted to achieve immortality, like the rest of them. So, to achieve this, she bathed in the Font of Power and the Pool of Knowledge. However, this transformed her, and she became the monstrous Abeloth. When her powers posed a great threat to the universe, she was imprisoned in an undisclosed location.
The character has remained in the Star Wars universe, though it has never been canon. Now, it is speculated that Baylan’s hunt for the Mortis Gods could lead to Abeloth’s return.
A central part of this theory is that Portman could return, but not as Padmé. Instead, she would play Abeloth, who would deceive the Force Ghost Anakin, played by Hayden Christensen, by pretending to be Padmé. If this theory materializes, it could add a lot of emotional depth to the series.
Furthermore, Ahsoka director Bryce Dallas Howard recently teased that Season 2 will feature a romantic element. Some fans speculate this could involve characters like Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger. However, the focus on Anakin and Padmé could prove to be better, especially with the idea of Abeloth manipulating Anakin by posing as Padmé.
