I know this may sound a little cheesy... but.. did anyone else sort of.. well... feel that maybe ROTS could have done with a few more love scenes between Anakin and Padme? I mean... I think that if you are to understand why Anakin turned to the dark side to save Padme... should we see WHY or HOW he loves her so much? In episode II I saw him fall in love and then in Episode 3 he's married with a baby on the way... but... I didn't really come across to me that they loved eachother THAT MUCH... that passionately.... know what I mean? Does anyone else agree with me?? what do you think??

No I did not just watch the movie on HBO. I own it. AND I was not asking for a sex scene... just some scenes that would show them actually LOVING eachother...maybe eating pizza and laughing, or running around in the rain. I don't know... Something other than discussing bad dreams and him watching her brush her hair and debating on whether or not she's beautiful... ya know?

Well the fact that they dont get to se each other that much is what makes anakin sad and angry, he wants to be more with padme, but his duties as jedi (and just the fact that he is a jedi) dont let him be as much as he wants to with padme, and in the movie she is pregnant so thats the pivot point of anakins life.
TIME TIME TIME. no time to put soft scenes in ROTS. Besides, to maintain that PG rating, no nude scenes! After all, after the mega millions spent at Industrial Light and Magic, limited use of special effects in love scenes. Besides, there was a lot left on the cutting room floor. The movie with those scenes would have been longer than the first two movies combined! Everyone complained that there weren't enough light saber fights in Episodes IV, V, VI, so look what you got. Over-embellished trite scenes. In addition, the stories are told IN MEDIA RES - in the middle of the action. so it's not too ill conceived to see Anakin and Padme falling in love in Clones and then knocked up in ROTS. Besides anyone have trouble with the fact that in the Phantom, Anakin was like 4 and Padme was an old hag. Kinda far fetched right? Don't get me started about Jar Jar Binks. george Lucas is definitely having a senior moment!
You may be right, Anakin's love for Padme is essentially what turned him to the dark side, but there was other factors. I think George Lucas didn't get into the love story to much so he would keep the core audience interested. I don't think all the 40 year old virgins living in their parents basements would have wanted to watch a bunch of mushy love scenes.
Good Lord, NO! The scenes between those two were clumsy and awkward, without the most basic chemistry or any of that "warm and fuzzy" malarchy at all. George Lucas can't write love scenes, look at any of his movies.
Who wants to know that Darth Vader, the biggest badàss in space was a whipped, gentle, little torch-carrier anyways?
He didn't turn dark because he lost her, anyways. If you recall, he was kind of a bastàrd before, slaughtering the Sandpeople, women and children and all. He turned because he was afraid of losing people, and surrendered control of his life after another big failure. Much fear I sensed in him. Fear leads to anger, and yadda-yadda.
I want to know how Leia remembers her as being "very beautiful, but sad," in the last one, (episode 6?), when she only saw her while BEING BORN!!! And why Obi Wan, as the hermit Old Ben Kenobi, can't recall R2D2, who traveled with him, and saved his and Anakin's bacon a couple of times. And who the héll is Sypho Dyas, the guy that ordered all the clones? Why can't Han shoot first? What happened to R2D2's leg jet thingies from the foundry when he fell off of Jabba the Hutt's barge. Many questions I have, too. None about love scenes.
First of all it's a sci-fi movie! And second in a galaxy far, far away does pizza really exist?! lol I don't think we really need to see THAT much of interaction between Anakin & Padme because it's pretty obvious in pt. II, the cheesy dialogue was like major mush overload. The movie is running long as it is, to add more to that element... it would just "water" down the appetites of the average Star Wars fanatic. Frankly, I don't think Padme was the major factor that Anakin turned toward the Dark Side. I think it was a combination of Obi-Wan holding him back & restraining him as well as the manipulative ways of Darth Sidious.
