A Viral (And Hilarious) Star Wars Tweet Has Started Back Up The Anakin And Padme Debate, And Fans Are Going Off

In the second pre-sequel film “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones,” available on your Disney+ subscription, Anakin and Padme‘s romance often feels overly dramatic and reminiscent of a daytime soap opera rather than the epic love story that became Luke and Leia’s parents. Despite numerous jokes about their interstellar relationship, recent humorous tweets have reignited discussions about Anakin and Padme, with fans expressing their opinions enthusiastically.

In the Star Wars prequel film, Attack of the Clones, you might recall a scene where Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala were isolated in the dark near a fireplace. During this time, Anakin expressed his turmoil due to his deep emotions towards Senator Amidala. User @shoobscantsleep humorously shared a meme related to one of Padmé’s stunning outfits from that particular scene.

Initially encountering this scene at the age of nine, I found myself perplexed. This moment was meant to symbolize love, but Anakin’s description of his love for Padme sounded more like torment, which isn’t exactly romantic in my opinion. If you’re going to dismiss a 19-year-old using such an unromantic term as a token of affection, then maybe you should dress up more alluringly to make it challenging for him.

In the Star Wars prequels, Anakin Skywalker wasn’t particularly eloquent. One particularly cringe-worthy scene was when he attempted to woo Padme by comparing her “silky” skin to the rough texture of Tatooine’s sand. This scene sparked some amusing commentary on social media, such as @judgeshowgames’ description of Padme’s dress: [a humorous interpretation of the dress]

It seems quite reasonable to me. If being around you brings pain, is it perhaps because he thinks I’m unattractive? Well, let him experience discomfort himself, I will demonstrate the same!

Reflecting on it now, it seems Anakin was manipulating Padme, and she should not be blamed for simply being herself, despite causing Anakin’s emotional turmoil. Those instances serve as a hint of the dark Sith Master he eventually becomes.

It’s not hard to imagine that Padme’s choice of the halter-dress wasn’t merely accidental. While her intelligence was more subtly portrayed in the prequels, compared to later films where we see her thoughts clearly, it’s possible she had a specific reason for selecting that dress. A funny take on this by @agamemnus_dev left me in stitches: “Maybe Padme was trying to signal the Jedi with her wardrobe choices.

She didn’t have anything else to wear because Jar-Jar ‘borrowed’ all the dresses.

Jar Jar Binks assumed the role of Naboo’s representative alongside Padme, championing the Chancellor’s emergency powers. However, his eccentric cloaks were quite unusual during these important moments. Perhaps Star Wars could have reserved such extravagant garments for the fashion-forward senator instead. @DroidLiberator humorously pointed out that young Padawan found it challenging to keep up with Padme.

turn up the agony to 110%

Certainly! If a Jedi trainee assigned to protect you describes your presence as causing him “agony,” then he should be made to regret it, perhaps by wearing an exquisite dress. However, surprisingly, Anakin’s emotional expressions managed to affect Padme despite their seemingly bland romantic scenes. @sagebored suggested that the former queen’s choice of fashion in this instance showcases a powerful and striking statement that is truly impressive.

SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO CONSIDER ANAKIN’S FEELINGS WHEN GETTING DRESSED ACTUALLY

It’s hard to argue with that social media user – they’re spot on! Even though Padme Amidala was hiding for much of “Attack of the Clones,” it didn’t make her a victim. Instead, each outfit she wore in the prequels symbolized her inner strength. So, if she decided to wear that particular ensemble while Anakin was trying to win her over, who are we to question her choice?

Enthusiasts couldn’t help but react jovially when a social media user shared an amusing post featuring Padme in a captivating dress she wore before rejecting Anakin. The concept of her donning an alluring outfit while expressing she couldn’t be with him was too fitting for memes. This serves as a reminder to tread carefully when discussing being “distressed” around the Naboo senator.
