This. The only thing that has helped me digest the awful writing for anything romantic is that ol Lucus saw it as, and wrote it as, those sappy romantic drama daytime shows...I forget what the genre is called exactly...either way. Makes much more sense in my head now.
i mean if you've never had these stupid conversations with your lover you just don't get it. but they are stupid conversations, not romantic ones. i feel like portman and christensen may have been a bit young for the roles as written.
as an example, my wife and i discussed flour for an hour the other day.
Nah, that was after she was retconned to no longer be space royalty. She was at that time a space politician that started her career when she was elected to be the leader of a planet when she was 15 years old.
Even with the wardrobe, they couldn't pull off sexual connection. There is more chemistry in this scene than anything with Anikin and Padme.
Thats not Portman's fault.
It's probably more of a fault of the person that wrote those dialogs than anybody's else.
I hate sand
But you, you are not sandy and that is why I love you.
Fucking poetry.
it rhymes
That's how I could tell.

Edit: Soap operas. Overacting..terribly written..soap operas.
Soap operas
Telenovelas

YES! Thank you!

Flour for an hour? See that's what true love looks like
And who directed, edited, and so on
fair.
but also it leads to my headcanon that Anakin was actually using the force to dominate her mind. (maybe subconsciously, but maybe not.)
Hmm I find that an interesting theory!
You can tell based on her ears this was AI overkill airbrushing.
Sad that every image has to go through the slopmachine nowadays. There's almost nostalgia for jpeg artifacts...
I was wondering why she looked so messed up
Nah, she was just signalling she prefers Vulcans over jedi
Why has her face been airbrushed to oblivion
It’s like someone described how Natalie Portman, Selena Gomez, and Kate Austen from memory and the artist said “let me see what I can do”.
I hate your use of the word "artist."
This has got to be AI, right?
upscaling means more pixels which means more quality. why did this person start out with 320x240 jpeg in the first place? because hehe
I ended up checking "albino" on the form
uh, that box doesn't say "albino", it says "capuchin". when's the last time you drank coffee or had your prescription checked?
The line between the boobs is to symbolize the separation
And the opening of the path Anakin would walk down to the dark side.
Y: Give in to temptation, you must not.
A: But have you seen that rack?
mischevious Yoda noises
Fuck her and forget her you must.
Fuck AI
Why did they have to use an image that's not actually padme?
I think my depression started when I realized a space princess in a smokin' hot dress would never tell me our love is taboo and forbidden.
*space royalty actually
Not “taboo and forbidden”, “naboo and tatooine”
Nah, that was after she was retconned to no longer be space royalty. She was at that time a space politician that started her career when she was elected to be the leader of a planet when she was 15 years old.
Because that's how you do great world building!
she was elected queen. because in space you vote for queen.
Plenty of people on Earth have voted for their kings and queens.

be quiet! i order you to be quiet!
Will it help if I tell you our love is taboo and forbidden?
Doesnt hurt tbh
my dude, our love is forbidden and taboo six days a week. tuesdays, no holds are barred.
Fucking goosebumps bro!
I was unsure if this actually was a real dress she wore, given the AI enhancements to the image, but it actually seems to be real:
Disturbing image
