In May 2026, a Reddit post on r/isthisAI questioned the authenticity of "behind the scenes" photos purportedly showing Natalie Portman and Carrie Fisher on the set of Star Wars. The poster expressed strong doubts about the images, suggesting they were AI-generated, potentially for creating and selling risqué t-shirts.
What happened
The user highlighted the lack of a physical set for the arena battle in Attack of the Clones, noting that it was filmed entirely on green/blue screen. The user questioned how a photo could exist of Natalie Portman seemingly standing in a physical arena. Other commenters supported the assessment, pointing out costume inaccuracies regarding Princess Leia's bikini and the presence of anachronistic equipment.
