If we extrapolate the story of AotC and put it in a grounded, Earth context, some really funny details emerge about characters' behaviour:

  • Padme is in witness protection, and has a cop who she knew as a kid protecting her. He's around ten years younger than her.
  • They travel around to different places so bounty hunters can't find them. Makes sense.
  • Every meal time she's wearing a new glamourous and revealing dress and puts on a full face of makeup and does her hair and gets out little crowns and trinkets ...just to eat dinner with the police officer protecting her.
  • Like most people would just be chilling in lounge pants on tattooine watching the podracing on holo TV and eating TV Dinners, but every day, without fail, Padme puts on another "fall for me" outfit.
  • "No Anakin, we can't fuck. It would be unprofessional"

Very mixed signals there. To be fair maybe she just has to dress that way, being Nubian Aristocracy.

Oh yeah, and then she demands that they visit an enemy planet and trespass in order to rescue Obi Wan even though the Jedi Order has been told and is sorting out a rescue. This is like the real world equivalent of someone in protective custody wandering off to meet up with the drug dealer they're providing testimony on.

Padmé Amidala: Worst. Bodyguard-Client. Ever.

I still prefer the fan-canon that padme knew what she was doing because trying to emotionally connect and correct the upcoming angry sithy jedi was the only plan the council could come up with. Her (stated/acted on) feelings toward him were all a lie.

But the Jedi think passion and romantic bonding is evil - if they thought that was a good remedy for Dark Side Anakin, why would they keep the "no relationships' rule for everyone else?

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

everyone else presumably had time to be indoctrinated. Jedi start training as infants, taught to temper their emotions and such.
