Vader flirting with Padme. It was horrible to watch and requires parents to correct the lessons immediately. A generation of men learned to flirt with women that way.
BOOO
A generation of George Lucas's thought that was peak romantic dialog.
Which is wild to me because it seems really obvious to me that it's intentionally cringy dialogue.
Anakin Skywalker is a cringy edgy teenager for a lot of that. That's like, a major part of his character.
Uhh wait, but Vader is younger than Padme!
By a significant amount. She was an adult queen when he was 7.
She was supposed to be like 15 in Episode I.
Oh. It came out in 1999, and Ms. Portman was born in 1981 (actress and character can be different ages, plus it was filmed prior to release and I have no idea how old she was). I read the character as way older, so that is on me.
They were like six years apart, Naboo just puts people in power as preteens.
