Remember when Keira Knightly suddenly popped up in The Phantom Menace, revealing that her character of Sabé had actually been playing Queen Padmé Amidala's decoy all along?

And then she just suddenly disappeared from the on-screen Skywalker Saga altogether?

Well, it turns out that this loyal Amidala handmaiden actually continued to serve her Queen throughout the remainder of her time leading Naboo, even freeing some slaves on Tatooine for Padmé.

She then ended up leading an investigation into Amidala's mysterious death after Revenge of the Sith alongside a bunch of Naboo loyalists known as the Amidalans.

But wait... there's more.

During the Star Wars: Darth Vader Marvel Comics series, a now Rebel Sabé and Darth Vader himself end up crossing paths sometime after The Empire Strikes Back, with the fallen Jedi also seeking answers about his secret late wife's demise.

The Dark Lord of the Sith bizarrely even teamed up with his dear Padmé's lookalike for a spell. And Sabé actually figured out exactly who was hiding under that helmet before choosing to stick with Vader due to her belief that there was still some good in him.

A lot of good that did her in the end.

After eventually demanding Sabé to choose either power or suffering, with that first option pretty much meaning she'd join the dark side, Amidala's loyal handmaiden opts for the latter and is shockingly thrown into the ocean.

So... that's what happened to Sabé.
