* Alec Guinness played the iconic role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy (1977-1983).
* Natalie Portman played the role of Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy (1999-2005).
While they never appeared on screen together, their roles are connected through the shared universe of Star Wars. Guinness's Obi-Wan Kenobi serves as a mentor to Portman's Padmé in the prequel trilogy through the character of Anakin Skywalker (who eventually becomes Darth Vader).
It's a fascinating legacy connection, highlighting the enduring impact of Star Wars across generations.
