John Williams had the lines "Under the tongue root a fight most dread, and another raging, behind, in the head" translated into Sanskrit.
"The White Goddess" is a translation of the original version, "Cad Goddeu" or "The Battle of Achren", an early Celtic work of great antiquity, also known as "The Battle of the Trees," which was originally composed by Gwion and is found in the "Book of Taliesin", a thirteenth century Welsh manuscript. “Reprising the character I can’t even remember the name of? No, there hasn’t,” she laughed.The words chanted during the "Duel of the Fates" are from Robert Graves's poem "The White Goddess". Of course, since she’s a Star Wars character, Sabé has an extensive backstory and has gotten up to quite a lot in the extended universe, but she was pretty much just a prop in The Phantom Menace, so we can understand why a pre-teen Knightley wasn’t overly interested.Ĭ also asked Knightley if she has ever had a request to return to the character. Hey, it’s nice to get good news, however late it comes! So, I played Sabé and she didn’t die? OK!" I think I was 12 when I did it and it came out and I saw it the year after. Who did I play? Was I not Padmé?” She continued:
Now, when reminded her that her character survived the prequel trilogy while Padmé did not, it seemed Knightley didn’t remember the difference between the two. Earlier this year, Knightley admitted to nodding off during production, since she was in the background of so many shots doing nothing. It was a small role, but hey, it’s Star Wars, so it gave Knightley some early experience in big budget moviemaking-not to mention a bit of exposure.īut apparently, making the movie wasn’t the most thrilling experience for the then-12-year-old. Before Keira Knightley played Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise-or Elizabeth Bennet in 2005's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice-she appeared in 1999's Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace as Sabé, a body double for Natalie Portman's Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo, who is used to throw those who would harm the queen off her trail.
