Natalie Portman defends the Star Wars prequels during explicit new rap on Saturday Night Live

'Say something ‘bout the motherf***ing prequels, bitch'

Twelve years ago, Natalie Portman shocked the world after delivering an incredible explicit rap on Saturday Night Live.

Returning as host over the weekend, the actor once again picked up the microphone to give another jaw-dropping performance.

Starting off similarly to the previous segment, Portman sits down for a celebrity interview where she is told: “The last time you were here, I heard things got a little out of control.”

“I was going through a really weird time then, but I’ve matured a lot,” she replies before bursting into the lines: “Portman, Portman, Portman, Portman, Portman, Portman, I f***ed your husband and his best friend just for sport, man.”

The actor powers through dozens more modern references before the interviewer asks a dangerous question: “Natalie, have you seen the new Star Wars movies?” Replying that she has not, he follows up by saying: “Oh, well they’re really good. They’re much better than…”

Portman — suddenly wearing her Padmé Amidala costume from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace — interrupts: “Say something ‘bout the motherf***ing prequels, bitch.” She even brings on the highly criticised character Jar Jar Binks for a quick cameo. Watch below.
