Come to think of it, in my Ep2 edit, it follows ESB somewhat:
Establish romantic tension and frustration at the start, they go off together, make out, maybe do more, and then the big deal part at the end is a declaration of love.
Her declaration of love is what hits him hardest (I don’t recall his mother even saying “I love you”). For a man who’s given up everything for something, this is the first someone declares for him, and i would think it even more powerful than a kiss or hooking up. Plus i like the difference even between Han and Anakin. Han is willing to give up Leiah to Luke where as Anakin states he won’t let Padame be taken from him. I dont think Anakin and Padame should play as safe as Han and Leiah
