No, what I was saying was that I don't want interaction that is boring and cringe-inducing for the sake of realism. The Han-Leia romance in ESB is both believable and entertaining. The Anakin-Padme "romance" is believable to a degree (sure, teenagers flirt awkwardly) but neither entertaining, engaging, nor amusing. Hence, it's counterproductive. Besides which, it contains no spark of relatable humanity whatsoever. It's dull, boring, and just plain embarassing to watch.

Oh, and "monotonous drudgery of real life"... all right, as a side note, I want to tell you that it's silly to assume life is monotonous drudgery for everyone. I can only assume that your life is this way, and you want everyone else to suffer along with you. Sure, escapism is fun, but no fun if it isn't at least to some degree relatable. Just because you haven't had any of those experiences doesn't disqualify everyone else. That's your ISSUE.

Nice little ad hominem, particularly coming from someone who openly claims to be "unusual" and "awkward."
