They didn't let him make out with Natalie in the first movie... "George it's a fucking love story, it's predetermined that I am going to stick a baby inside Natalie, so just let me the hell stick my 8 year old tongue down her 22 year old throat now, so that our sex scenes in the next movie are not entirely traumatizing for the audience after I seduce her with my sexy dance."
(I'm just now thinking how hilarious a mistaken identity farce would have been in the second movie if Padme was still using body doubles and Anikan wooed the wrong Amidala.)
