I actually think that Ep 2&3 Obi-Wan and Padme are good characters, with the only real blemishes being some of their interactions (or lack thereof) with Anakin, which is due to poor writing and plotting. On paper and in certain scenes, I can see how Anakin and Padme are actually compatible (when you don’t have him admit to killing Tusken kids). But in TPM, Obi-Wan is sidelined and besides a couple one liners and exposition is kinda a prick, and Padme acts like she overdosed on Xanax 90% of the time. I think that’s partially why I find TPM the most dull.
