The Disappointment of Padme

I listened to the commentary in Episode II, and Lucas sort of reiterated that the Tusken Raiders "aren't quite human"; and that presumably is why the characters and Lucas himself had no serious problem with Anakin murdering the entire village. I believe the Tusken Raiders are supposed to look like hideous anthropomorphised rat people. Captain Picard and the crew of the ENT-D would lobby that the Tusken Raiders were sentient life forms that should be protected. Life is cheaper in Star Wars though.
I know, man. But they aren't people to Lucas!They wear clothing and maintain advanced weaponry. They build villages and have pets. They shoot at podracers and laugh about it. And if you go by the EU, the novel Kenobi established them as sentient thinking talking people who love and mourn. They're people
Hahaha Darth George!
the biggest plot disaster with padme is her falling in love with anakin. there is nothing in anakin that is likeable.she was a great and complex character in episode 1 and was strong willed at the beginning of episode 2. episode 2 started out great for her until Anakin showed up. he gives her a creepy stare that makes her uncomfortable, kills a bunch of younglings and before that told her he believed in POLITICAL DICTATORSHIP.
Anakin and Padme had nothing in common and the fact that padme married and fell in love with a person that differed with her so greatly from political and social values and has just killed a whole village speaks volumes to how poorly written her character is, it will have been more believable and sensible if she fell in love with obiwan. I loved the idea of anakin and padme but their actual story was quite bad.

Since we know that Anakin is Leia and Luke's father it'd be hardly more believable for Padme to fall for Obi-Wan. And really Obi-Wan had no interest in Padme romantically. Anakin took an an interest in Padme and saved her life several times.
I know but that is not the point. thanks to the original trilogy we know she was with anakin. the point is believability.
it was unbelievable that a woman which such intelligence and status will go for anakin. in the real world she would have found obiwan more attractive. anakin was so immature.
Star Wars doesn't exist in the real world and in any event Obi-Wan was a Jedi poster boy, he wouldn't have had a relationship with Padme even if she were attracted to him.
While I do believe that Anakin would never have done such knowingly, I've always wondered if there wasn't a little bit of sub-conscious Jedi mind-trickery involved in Padme's falling for Anakin. Ultimately, it's a pretty horrific thought, but it's one of the few things that make sense to me regarding their relationship.
^Exactly.
It might even make for one of the reasons that Jedi ban attachments and relationships. Some sort of emotional Force power slippage.

Padme only admited what she already felt, they bot h knew what having a relatinship might mean and they went ahead and got married anyway. Waht was meant ot happen was going to happen.
I've always found love affairs in movies to be a bit unreal, but then I suppose that's because nothing quite happens the way they do in movies.
