Infordroid: I agree with Sluggo.

ADigitalMan did the same thing in his edit and I really liked the way it gave a much more unsettling tone to the scene, and also backed up Padme's reasons for not wanting to get too involved with him at first. But, ADM's scene was mostly whittled away and came out just a little short.

But the problem is these two characters have so very little to make their romance feel right. Every reason Padme has for not getting involved with Anakin is already there because he's becoming a Jedi. This scene is one of the worst offenders at presenting Padme with reasons she would NEVER touch this guy. He's a psycho and thinks a dictatorship would sure be neat.

The unsettling tone should be about Anakin's lack of trust in Obi Wan and not in his lack of trust in democracy. It's fine to have him ambivilent, but I this scene goes too far.
