Star Wars Episode II: Love Featurette

[@user-gr5cp9om5j]

Hayden Christensen is so well-spoken. The way he talks about the characters makes you realize how deeply he cares about the story.

[@joannap8769]

I love the way he described why Anakin would fall in love with Padme 5:25. It was so eloquently said. I wish he had gotten to help write some of the dialogue 😅 I don’t think George Lucas understood how to write romantic exchanges very well. Still appreciate the prequels, and I love the story. I just think a little more refinement in the dialogue would have made them epic.

[@Jushwa]

It’s amazing the fans couldn’t see that earlier that he really did the best that he could with what he was given.

[@ludovicgomessilva404]

​@@joannap8769the awkwardness of the dialogues were meant to be that way. You've got a young boy who's never talked or interacted with girls in a romantic manner while we have a queen that's also never acted romantically with anyone in the past (I'm guessing) so it is actually quite natural for them to be awkward and say cringy stuff

Bella and Edward from Twilight show 15 symptoms of being in an abusive relationship, Edward kidnaps Bella, forbids her from seeing her best friend, stalks her, and spies on her while she sleeps, I never saw Anakin locking Padme away and prevent her from meeting with Senator Organa.

Now because this is the internet I need to clarify that I've seen the originals first and I still like the prequels. Unfortunately if you don't mention that in advance you'll be called a stupid millennial who doesn't know any better, cause you know the previous generation just had it all figured out, ok.

I dont see why Christensen gets that great deal of negative criticism. This Anakin, slowly drifting to the dark side, is great. Loosing temper (first when they question the changeling), crying, slaughtering a village, "I burn the world if you say something now" look in his eyes when carrying his dead mom, questioning orders and hierarchy etc etc etc. He acts good

[@thepoet9253]

I agree. Anakin had to be a very unstable person, otherwise he wouldn't have became Darth Vader.

[@waterh20]

Renáta Béres Well the problem I had was that Anakin didn’t really FALL to the dark side. He sorta just mildly slid. He was already pretty fucked up from the beginning and never the hero Obi-Wan described in Episode 4. Anakin was supposed to be the greatest Jedi ever who tragically fell to the dark side. But we didn’t get that.

​@@shelleywantiez7964I'm just gonna say it. Their love story is better than Han and Leia. I mean WHAT love story did Han and Leia even have? They fought all through a new hope, and then in empire all of a sudden they love each other. No rhyme or reason. At least Ani and Padme spent TIME with each other.

[@ZeroOhNine]

​@@KoolKeithProductions I completely agree, I prefer Anakin and Padmé for similar reasons. In all honesty, before I knew Luke and Leia were siblings, I was hoping they'd get together instead because they had a nice foundation of friendship first. To me, it felt like Han was just an asshole the whole time (in 4 and 5) and I didn't like him much at first. I think it would've helped a lot more if we were shown more scenes of Han and Leia just getting along and having a nice, fun rapport with one another without any expectation of romance. Probably an extremely unpopular opinion though. 😶

[@SrbijaCG]

@@RockstarDoc7 like you said- watching 1-6 is an epic poem. Honestly, I love the prequels. They develop Anakin, Obi Wan, and the Emperors charcaters beautifully. The prequels slowly show why and how Anakin becomes Darth Vader; how Obi Wan becomes Ben Kenobi; how Palpatine becomes the Emperor. And on top of it all, the character development (although definitely the character development being affected by the other characters) of the 3 key characters is largely based on the relationship between each other. Of course, there are flaws in the prequels. They shouldve been directed by Spielberg (if you ask me) and had some of the dialogue edited, but when looking at the whole picture of how the prequels actually fit so beautifully, I personally see these flaws as small in comparison to that big picture.

Never had an issue with the love story in AOTC. It's the way it is for a reason, Anakin isn't some charismatic guy who can get any woman he wants. He's far from that, he's flawed and he has social issues such as social anxiety. It honestly baffles me how many people don't get why the love story is the way it is, it's common sense. I understood it at the age of 6 so it's embarrassing how grown men couldn't comprehend that Anakin has social issues and has a hard time socializing with Padme because of it. To all the nitpicky Prequel haters, use your brain before assuming it's the worst thing you've ever witnessed.

This is the best thing I've heard anyone say about the Prequels and I think its the best.

+Mallika Banerjee Ok, you brought it up, now please give examples. What terrible dialogue and bad directing? You just said that if one watches Hayden/Natalie interact there is chemistry between them. That can not be see without hearing them speak the lines as that is part of seeing their chemistry.

[@mbanerjee5889]

+TheRivrPrncess For starters the now infamous sand line: Padme: We used to come here for school retreat. We would swim to that island every day. I love the water. We used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us and try to guess the names of the birds singing. Anakin: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth. After this line, he touches her back and they kiss. The dialogue doesn’t further the story nor teach us about the characters. There was really no need for dialogue here and no reason he needed to touch her. They share a look, they kiss, the end...that's all it needed. In contrast a scene I really liked between them was when they are in field talking about politics: P: You really don’t like politicians, do you? A: I like 2 or 3...but I’m not really sure about one of them.(both laugh)I don’t think the system works. P: How would you have it work? A: We need a system where the politicians sit down and discuss the problem… agree what’s in the best interest of all people… and then do it. P: That’s exactly what we do. The trouble is that people don’t always agree. A: Well, then they should be made to. P: By whom? Who’s going to make them?& A: I don’t know. Someone. P: You? A: Of course not me. P: But someone. A: Someone wise. P: Sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me. A: Well, if it works. P: You’re making fun of me. A: (laughs) No, I’d be much too frightened to tease a senator. In this scene we see them talk about something that is important to Padme. We learn what they agree and disagree on. The dialogue serves to connect the characters and the scene helps drive their friendship. Other scenes that feel forced: -When Padme is packing and Anakin complains about Obi Wan. -Fireplace scene where Padme says they can’t be together. -When Anakin tells Padme how he slaughtered the Tusken raiders. -When Padme says she loves Anakin after they captured on Geonosis. These scenes just make the characters seem angsty and over dramatic. Other scenes that naturally established Anakin/Padme’s relationship: -When Anakin explains how Jedi are not allowed to have attachments. -Anakin meets Padme’s family (deleted scene) -After Anakin has a vision of his mother dying. -When Padme hugs Anakin before he goes to off to find his mother. These scenes are more subtle in showing how the characters do have an attraction towards each other and why there would be some tension between them.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

+Mallika Banerjee But his reply about how he doesn't like sand is because he is from a desert planet and in Star Wars: A New Hope Luke said he wanted to get away from there. He is in love with Padme, so his comment about everything there being soft and smooth led him to touch her and for them to kiss. The dialogue helps us to see that both father and son felt the same about where they lived, how they are alike. Regarding the scenes you mentioned that, according to you, feel forced, both Anakin and Padme are still young people and young people are sometimes angsty and over dramatic, aren't they? I do not know what you mean by the scenes feeling forced. To me Anakin's complaints about Obi Wan lets us see that he is beginning to resist proper training and wanting to do things his own way. We can see him already going down the path to the dark side of the force. Padme tries to help him do what is right. With the fireplace scene, Padme is just telling him why she feels she can't commit to a relationship with him and he tries to convince her why they can and should. For those of us who feel their relationship is not wrong and that it was a mistake for the Jedi to forbid marriage, this scene has a lot of important things to say. The scene where Anakin tells Padme how he slaughtered the Tusken raiders-what was wrong with that? This shows up the rage that Anakin has inside him, how he has not learned to control his emotions and correctly use his feelings for good. Again, this further shows how he is into what he wants to do and that is how he uses his feelings. He has been trained to use feelings and emotions for good and that negative emotions and feelings must be controlled and not used for bad or selfish reasons. His conversation with Padme really hurt me because I could see how Anakin is slowly losing his way. When Padme says she loves Anakin after they are captured on Geonosis-This is a lovely, romantic scene and it is like the love scenes of old movies. Take a look at the Jennifer Jones movies, Portrait of Jennie and Love Letters. Both had wonderful lines which some today call corny, but they are not. In this scene Padme is finally not afraid to admit her love for Anakin as she should. The scenes you say naturally established Anakin/Padme's relationship are a compliment to the scenes you say are forced. One can not exist without the other.

[@fundhund62]

+Mallika Banerjee Can anyone please explain to me what was so "terrible" about the dialogue?? As far as I´m concerned, the whole love strory worked pretty well, they had great chemistry, and apart from one single line at the fireplace ("I wish that I could wish away my feelings") I liked the dialogue as well. The scene out in the fields is fantastic (Natalie Portman is truly behaving like someone being in love), and I really like their scenes on Geonosis as well. And yes, I know that you don´t like sand!

[@mbanerjee5889]

+TheRivrPrncess The majority of Star Wars fans prefer the Han/Leia love story over Anakin/Padme; but I genuinely think Anakin/Padme are the better couple. To me it just felt like all the pieces were there, just not executed well. I guess it’s really a matter of preference as to which scenes work better between the two. Honestly, I’m just glad you like the couple at all. =) It is nearly impossible to find fans of the prequels.

[@Anonymous18531]

Ironically, even though Attack of the Clones was the love story, their chemistry was so much more solid in Revenge of the Sith. Probably due to some distractingly awkward lines in Episode II. At the very least, Hayden got the "inner conflict" bit to come through in Episode II, despite the script.

[@gretel654]

And it really does get everywhere, like glitter. You'll be finding that stuff in your car and in your home for a few days after going to the beach.) George Lucas gave him such creepy, stalkerish lines with Padmé at first. Initially, she even responds to his awkward hitting on her with Uhmm... No.

There's a deep maturity in acknowledging the shallowness we hold. If Anakin was completely honest, he's actually in love because she's the most beautiful woman he's met. That's all it, really.

Since millions of people feel the same about Natalie just from seeing her movies one could also imagine that some of her peers and coworkers have faced the same dilemma over the years.

I think it makes sense that their romance is awkward, padme had never been involved with anyone, and much less anakin, I mean, what was it like when you had your first relationship? it was probably really dumb and you both acted really dumb about it. it's the most natural thing in the world that their falling in love would seem odd and maybe even a little weird or creepy, I mean you're talking about 20 something year Olds who've never been in a relationship, it's a recipe for disaster, it would have seemed more weird if they had fallen in love in the way we are used to seeing others fall in love

[@OrtegaSeason]

+suerafuls "padme had never been involved with anyone" - In the Clone Wars tv series she had at least one lover before Anakin.

[@ТониГетова]

+DeCipher Yeah,sure, like: "I was 12, he was a little older and after that he became an artist and I became queen of Naboo.." I couldn't name that "a lover". A crush, maybe, but to have a crush in the childhood don't make Padme an 'experienced one". She was too long in public service, i.e. she had to hide her personal feeling and liva a life dedicated to tthe others.

[@OrtegaSeason]

Тони Гетова I'm talking about in the Clone Wars tv series. She has a romantic relationship with another senator called Clovis in between Eps I&II, soon after she enters the senate. She never told Anakin about it though until that episode.

[@ТониГетова]

I see. I didn't watch the Cloe wars, but I was talking about Ep.2. The main point of their romance is that both have no experience at all.

[@OrtegaSeason]

Тони Гетова I get that, but even so Anakin's behaviour still doesn't make sense in the film. He should be trying to stick to his Jedi training and at least be a bit resistant to the way he feels about her. Instead, he immediately says in their first meeting "You've grown even more beautiful than before" and then tells Obi-Wan that being around her is intoxicating. It just doesn't feel right. If anything Padme should be initiating the romantic overtures, not Anakin.

[@martianyoo1999]

You can tell that John Williams put so much more passion into the prequels simply because George and the rest of his team poured out their all into it, although not everyone may agree with its execution. With EP.8, things are just so all over the place, the movie lacks a common relatable theme, and the score, although still good, lacks the passionate notes that melt your heart like "Across the Stars." The PT and OT were truly the golden ages of Star Wars.

This line isn't so bad, actually. Anakin is a sheltered Jedi who has never really flirted with a girl, and suddenly he has to meet Padme again for the first time in years and he's got the super hots for her, so he doesn't really know how to confront that. He's nervous. Then Padme says, "You'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine" and totally shuts him down, so now he's got something to prove to her. I've always liked how Obi-Wan just stands there watching like, "What the fuck are you doing, Anakin?" It's lines like, "You're exactly the way I remember you in my dreams," and "Here everything is soft and smooth," and "I'm haunted by the kiss you should never have given me." that are so awful. They take it way too far and make him sound like a stalker. These movies had potential and there are moments in the final cut that do work, but they're overshadowed by the suckage in the rest of the movie.

The Sequel Trilogy will get its due, once the kids who grew up watching it will have a voice on social media. You'll see.
