Keira Knightley was such an unknown when she became Queen Amidala’s decoy (and impressive ringer for star Natalie Portman) that The Phantom Menace misspelled her name as “Kiera” in its credits. Since then, however, she launched to stardom three years later with Bend It Like Beckham, followed by the massively successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Pride & Prejudice, Never Let Me Go, and countless other films. Sabé herself has gone on to lead an interesting life in Star Wars novels, including therecent Padmé Amidala books by E.K. Johnston and Marvel’s latest volume of its Darth Vader series.
