real talk i think the only one truly miscast in the prequels was portman

#i know padme is supposed to be (in actuality) also incredibly naive alongside her strength in the senate #padme is ignorant of the struggles of the outer rim (TPM) abandons her beliefs in justice to have anakin for herself (AOTC) and #unfortunately lucas cut all her cool scenes in ROTS when she founded the rebellion and was going to try to kill anakin so she came off as #truly a wet noodle there too #TCW does a great job at rehabbing her character which i feel was the most needed out of the whole trilogy #i know lucas' direction cinematography and dialogue was like 80% the reason why padme comes off as unconvincing as she does #but i genuinely think another actor would have done a much better job as padme #the inctricacies just did not read and padme felt like a nonpresence #like you genuinely pity her (as you should in the tragedy narrative) and understand how she got caught in this web #but we dont SEE how #we dont see anything beyond girlboss padme who somehow (???) acts against her own sense of logic to be with anakin who js clesrly less #mature and less unstable than her #we dont see WHY she would do this although we know through the 4th wall she is supposed to be also corruptible and ignorant in her own ways #and her relationship w anakin is engineered to be thin and superficial but clung to w immature fantasy by the both of them #and that i think falls a little on the actor #we never see those shifts in padme #and i thinj someone would have done a lot better #if padme ever came back or had a diff series i wouldnt be opposed to her being recasted #this isnt hate this is just my opinion i liked portman in thor #but imo she isnt a great actress as many think #*** more unstable #unpopular opinions
