THE WHOLE PROBLEM WITH THE aNAKIN /pADME ROMANCE (oops hate capslock!) was that it was too deliberate and contrived, it would have been a far more believable, and more exciting for the audience if they had been drawn together through conflict or in the heat of battle , rather than a relaxing weekend of stilted pretentious dialogue at Padme's summerhouse!(yawn!).

in my movie I would have had the pair's transport ship come under attack whilst en-route to Naboo, had them narrowly escaping capture and perhaps even crash landing an escape pod on TAttooine and beefing up the search for Anakin's mother, by -passing Naboo all-together.
