'Inexperienced'? Oh, do you mean 'critically acclaimed'? Actually, since Natalie Portman had both sci-fi and action film experience before playing Amidala, I think you must be thinking of a different teen actress and movie, my guess is Carrie Fisher in ANH.

Natalie Portman wasn't exactly up on sci-fi lore when she was cast in the prequels, though that probably shouldn't have been a requirement.
