As most of us know, many of the actors from the Star Wars prequels never went on to do anything better besides the ones who were already established actors prior like Samuel L. Jackson, Liam Neeson, and so forth. We all know Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen had troubled careers after playing Anakin.

Natalie Portman was only 15/16 years old when she filmed Episode 1, so her career was pretty much in its infancy. How did she go on to become incredibly famous and have such a successful movie career?
