Question: is padme in episode 9?
Answer: Natalie Portman weighs in on returning to Star Wars: Episode 9 as Padmé Amidala. ... If Lucasfilm and director JJ Abrams do have a Padmé appearance in the works for Episode IX, they've either not bothered to ask Natalie Portman yet, or the actress is engaging in the age-old strategy of lying to protect the film's secrets.
