CLASSIC IMAGE: PADME'S COSTUMED UNIVERSE...


Natalie Portman poses for a publicity photo as Senator Padme Amidala in one of Trisha Biggar's beautifully realised creations for EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH, and an outfit the character would wear again in the recent CLONE WARS Season Four episode A Friend in Need.


So pleased was Lucas by the Scottish Costume Designer's immense and detailed work on the Prequel Trilogy that he put out several trade advertisements in recognition of her sterling and memorable efforts, in an attempt to finally get her noticed by the American ACADEMY AWARD members. Sadly, as per usual, the guild members/voters overall snobby attitude to the STAR WARS sequels (Classic and Prequel) prevailed and EPISODE III, despite one make-up nomination, was ultimately not recognised for any of its technical merits.

One of Lucas's OSCAR "For Your Consideration" trade ads from 2005/2006.
