I was 13 years old when I watched this scene the the theater and I thought Natalie Portman was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
I didn't even register any of the dialect being said.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world
==========
IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

There was dialogue?
It was in dialect.
I don't understand Naboo accent.
Naboonese Common.
Really should have let him down in public to avoid trouble. Like at the space-Waffle House.
This is the traditional rejection outfit women on Naboo wear. You should see the outfit they wear for romantic acceptance!
It's a sleeping bag zipped up over their head, isn't it?
Close! See my other comment for an example
How dare you make me scroll down an inch! I'm putting on my pro-bewbage anti-cleavage dress right now so that you'll know just how upset I am!
I should yes, please share.
Okay, but understand that their culture has different standards than ours
What is this from?
Naked Gun
Guess I’ll have to give that a rewatch, thanks!
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
Trying to think of any tragic blimp accidents. Most of the "Well we're not doing THAT again as a species" accidents were rigid airships, like Hindenberg, R-101, USS Akron, etc. The most recent fatal blimp accident was in 2011, killing one.
All it needs is a hole.
Human anatomy took some strange turns in the Star Wars universe. There was cross breeding with the Killik back when everyone was slaves of the Rakatan Infinite Empire. Now human females have an ovipositor that rips right through thin plastic bags.
I'm pretty sure that's just Extended Universe stuff. I'm still waiting for Disney to put that in a movie.
Jesus fucking Christ y'all.
The hole is for breathing

No, he uses a different outfit when he’s doing that.
Bruh, I’m convinced she knew what she was doing.
This is a combination theory/retreatment of the script I’ve been knocking around inside my head for a while.
Imagine if Episode II had been written as Anakin growing up to be a very reserved and indoctrinated Jedi. He’s very obedient, not emotional at all. But obi-wan feels like he’s holding back and not using the force or fighting with his full strength. Reuniting with Padme when they’re both older makes Anakin take notice of new feelings he had learned about but never experienced before.
Padme, on the other hand, becomes immediately enthralled. Not expecting that little boy to be such an attractive and talented Jedi.
SHE comes on to HIM.
He initially brushes it off, doesn’t reciprocate, but she keeps saying things and doing things to get his attention. He starts quoting Jedi Code to her and averting his gaze. When Anakin saves her life from the assassination attempt, it just strengthens her resolve.
Obi-wan is fixated on solving the mystery and doesn’t see this happening. He sends Anakin off with Padme to Naboo and Anakin tries to warn him that it’s a bad idea.. Now Padme is laying it on thick. Anakin’s dialog on the transport where he argues that Jedi are encouraged to love is now Padme’’s attempt to deconstruct his rigid adherence to rules. That actually makes him stop and think. Now her come ons are starting to chip away at him.
The rest of the movie is watching Anakin give way to her enabling and they grow closer pretty much how it already happens. When they reunite with Obi-wan in the arena, he can see what’s happening between them. But he also sees that Anakin is now fighting with far more power and focus than ever before so he quietly decides to hold his tongue and see what how it pans out.
Love it and it helps make Vader an even more tragic character, tbh. Not only did he lose his wife, but she had brainwashed him into being overly attached to her.
Is Padme kind of a groomer?
I like it, but if there was some back and forth between them, it would feel more real?
Padme backs off after first unknowingly coming on to him (he's a handsome badass), but then anakin pushes back citing the Jedi code. And when feels the push towards padme, she backs off because - jedi and younger. Basically the same as what you said, but they both want to do it, and they both know it's wrong on some level.
The palpable tension going back and forth would make it more interesting.
And making him a little older - 21 or something would also make it less creepy yet maintain his naivity.
But I suppose it would be less spicy, if the relationship isn't lopsided. I guess then it would depend on the direction one would want to take.
Do you want it to be a tale of a young boy being semi-groomed or an equal relationship.
I mean you could already consider padme being disingenuous by wearing such clothes and being "oblivious" to how anakin feels. Maybe she did know and wanted to push him on but without it feeling like she was responsible for any of it.
In the Star Wars universe celibacy is canonically heroic.
If you fuck and reproduce you’ve given someone else power over you and you’ve created your replacement/successor… almost like a Sith Lord and their Apprentice…
This is hilarious i love it
Damn. That sounds a lot more compelling
Why? It totally covers the cleavage!
Basically church clothes!
I'd wear that to church
It would make me get down on my knees
To pray, yeah, to pray, that's it
Before moving, there was a Goth club called The Church.
That outfit would, from what I've heard, be far too formal and restrained.
Apparently, and this was coming from a platonic female friend, anal is like shaking hands there so what do I know. I never had the urge to drive from North Fort Worth to Downtown Dallas to drink, and then turn around and drive back after drinking and possibly making stupid choices.
I have two types, natural redheads, and goth chicks.
When they cut to the opening of that scene I almost cringed to death.
Boobs
Hell yeah, brother!
No wonder Anakin turned to the dark side.....
im a thenator
Badmé Amidala.
Paddle-me Amidala.
