I get she’s that bummed out about Anakin, but how about finding the will to live if only for your kids?
Yeah that’s essentially character assassination. If nothing else he’s portrayed as extremely strong willed in TPM and AOTC. I’d actually argue too that she’s pretty good in AOTC except for falling in love with Anakin (big exception, but still). Those movies would have been better if they focused on her POV more, honestly (TPM especially).
