Her sarcasm, her defensiveness and her bravado, all have a bit of Han as their inspiration. For Mission Vao, for instance, she is in the “scoundrel” class so I really wanted to put some Han Solo in there.
And I like to infuse the characters with hints of Classic Star Wars when I can. She said “No Seriously, She IS Padme! You must see her!.” Thankfully, I got the audition and the rest as they say….ĬV: You've done lots of other voice work, did it feel different reading for a Star Wars role?

Its also just pretty cool! Last year at Comic Con, Matt Lanter and I took a photo with Mark Hamill between us. You want to do a good job and be true to the Star Wars mythos. That is why I wanted the role so badly!

Comic Vine: First question, how big of a Star Wars fan were you before you got the job to voice Padme on The Clone Wars? Catherine Taber: HUGE. Since, she has performed numerous other roles including the voice of Princess Leia in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Taber made her voice acting debut in 2003, playing Mission Vao in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. We had the chance to ask Catherine Taber some questions about her role as the voice of Padme. Star Wars: The Clone Wars begins its third season on Cartoon Network this Friday at 9:00 p.m.
