Portman played Padmé Amidala in the prequel "Star Wars" trilogy, which also starred Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. At the end of those films she was -- spoiler alert -- revealed as the mother of Luke and Princess Leia (the late Carrie Fisher), whose father was Anakin Skywalker (Christensen), aka Darth Vader.

Though the two never crossed paths onscreen in any "Star Wars" movie, it's nice to see the galaxy has finally brought them together.
