I’m convinced he used the force to manipulate the fuck outta Padme.
It’s the only explanation for how those pickup lines worked.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
==========
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.

They worked because she was a groomer just waiting for him to be old enough. They both sucked.
Enh, he was a little kid, powerful in the force but untrained, and it makes perfect sense (and is perfectly normal) for a kid growing up to get the hots for the older woman. And he may have unintentionally used the force to manipulate her.
Or she's a groomer and he's a child-murderer. Who knows?
In AotC he was a horny teenager, with deep insecurities, an inability to accept fault, and overflowing with the force.
It could have been an accident, but I don’t think it was. AoTC anakin was already expressing might-makes-right idealogy … which is directly counter to Parme’s democratic beliefs.
Edit: It’s important to remember, anakin was 5 years younger. 30’s not so big a deal. 19? She was 24, already progressing into an established career.
Also watch the reunion seen in AoTC; she was happy to see him, but not in the way he was happy to see her. (She seemed more inclined to Obi, actually. Can’t blame her. Obi was literally the perfect Jedi.)
And he may have unintentionally used the force to manipulate her
Honestly, somewhere once, I read a kinda big write up about this and i liked it. Of course it can't be what really happened because that would involve somewhat deep thought being put into the plot but its fun to think about.
Unintentionally? This is Anakin Skywalker we're talking about.
So I watched TPM again. in part because of this.
So... I could be wrong... I could be reading way too much into way too little. but. I noticed in the scene where Quiggy told Anakin and Shmi that Anakin was free; Quiggy was a little to... intimate...? for a guy that stopped over for shelter from a storm. Quiggy totally got some.
now, here's the scene where, Padme steps forward to reveal her self to Boss Nass.
now, with the affore mentioned interaction with Shmi in mind... and realizing that Quigon always played a bit fast and loose with the rules... pay attention to that look he gives Obi. And the look Obi gives him. uhuhuh. sure, that could be...ah... suprise.... but that's a smirk. a knowing smirk.
Now, Check the scene in AoTC; where annie reunites with padme. She's all eye contact and 'you've been away too long', and then she notices annie. Like a trained diplomate, she's smooth "my how you've grown!" and "you'll always be that little boy!" irritation and awkwardness of unrequited...interest.
Now here's the deleted scene where she flat out tells her family that he's just a body guard, not a boyfriend.
so, gotta say, yeah. he definitely used the force to coerce her.
Ah yes, those notorious underage groomers.
He at the very least force choked her in bed
Vader only choked his lovers.
Its why Tarkin was disgusted in the DS conference room… like teenagers kissing in public … awkward, even painful to watch.
I mean, Vader means father which is basically Daddy.
ohkay. this is now headcannon.
"Choke me harder, SkyDaddy!" - that guy. I mean, you even have the other guy whose mildly intrigued.
Tarkin hates PDAs (public displays of asphyxiation)
I have a better explanation: George Lucas is a shit writer and decided their relationship made sense.
