Robinson's very first audition was for the role of Queen Amidala in the 1999 film, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, but the role was ultimately given to Natalie Portman. Robinson found this audition challenging, due to her strong Yorkshire accent. She has stated that she "didn't know what to do and I was really nervous and I felt like I had to talk really proper, like I tried to talk properly," and that she also had to "sit up really straight".
