also, when did he say 5 months? i thought he just said it felt like a lifetime
Geez, I'm getting the script mixed up with the actual film! LOL. The timeframe of the film bothered me, so I rewatched the film and then re-read the script looking for clues. Anakin DOES say "it seems like a lifetime" but as the scene continues Padme was *supposed* to say the following:
Quote
ANAKIN: I've given my life to the Jedi order, but I'd only give up my life, for you.
PADME: (playfully) I wouldn't like that. I wouldn't like that one bit. Patience, my handsome Jedi . . . Come to me later.
ANAKIN embraces her, then looks at her.
ANAKIN: Are you all right? You're trembling. What's going on?
PADME: I'm just excited to see you.
ANAKIN: That's not it. I sense more . . . what is it?
PADME: Nothing . . . nothing . . .
ANAKIN: You're frightened. (a little angry) Tell me what's going on!
PADME begins to cry.
PADME: You've been gone five months . . . it's been very hard for me. I've never felt so alone. There's . . .
ANAKIN: . . . Is there someone else?
Which of course is part of the whole 'Anakin thinks she's been unfaithful' subplot which got axed... though I wish they would have left it in- I think it would have helped.
The rest of the movie seriously takes place over a few days so she must be damn near due to give birth. It also strikes me funny that no one else seemed to notice she was preggers- even Obi-Wan until almost the last minute... must have been that Nabooian maternity wear!
