Already read it. Don't agree with it. I don't think there's anything realistic. Just because Anakin wasn't "a smooth-talking James Bond" doesn't mean it was realistic. Nor do I think the film doing a pathetic unrealistic teen fiction romance thing means it has "balls". And awkwardness on the part of the characters is not what characterises the romance, rather it's artificiality and lack of feeling or chemistry.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

Actually, come to think of it, given the context of the scene, and how he subtly and sensually slides a finger over the bareness of Padme's skin... that is probably more poetically seductive than what most would come up with.

Good job, Anakin.
