She was, wasn’t she? I haven’t seen it in a long time, but I recall several scenes that implied that.
Which scenes then? I don’t remember anything other than her befriending a kid. If it wasn’t for AOTC no one would even question it.
Did she really even befriend him? All I remember is the scene where she makes fun of him for being a slave and he says “I’m a person and my name is Anakin!”
Yes she did. One example, he’s cold on the starship when flying to Coruscant and she gives him a blanket. He misses his mom and she comforts him.
She did it in an awkward and romantic way. I found the age difference inappropriate and petitioned for the film to be banned.
