I think George Lucas was in a hurry for certain performances of the actors, and to be honest, his script was horrible for Attack of the Clones.

Some of their performances were not on the actors, it was like their first or second take, and George said ok, we got it, let’s go, next scene. This was George Lucas’ money, and not a studios bank account. Had it been, we might have gotten better takes.

When Anakin is courting Padme on Naboo is just so cringe. Padme is marrying this guy who’s talking about sand, and kills Tusken women and children really? But he saved her life 10 years ago, so it’s ok.
