Things I Like: Sabe (Star Wars Prequel Trilogy)

Sabe as Impostor Queen Amidala Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace Keira Knightley

Sabe is a handmaiden in The Phantom Menace of Queen Amidala. Though for most of the movie, we wrongfully believe she’s the real Queen Amidala.

Due to their striking resemblances, she bravely takes Padme’s place just in case she got captured. It was a pretty smart move on their part, besides the fact that Padme still went by her actual name as a handmaiden.

She kind of disappears after the revelation but what I think is neat is that she’s played by Keira Knightley who was unknown (for the most part) in 1999. She would later become world famous a few years later when she starred in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
