Is there a way to make it seem like Anakin and Padme have secretly been smashing for a while before AotC?
Gross!! They’re barely 14 before AOTC!
Anakin, the youngest of the two, is 20 in AOTC. If you remove the “no contact in 10 years” bit, they could have been fucking for as many as four years without it being “gross” or damaging
Thanks for clearing that up.
