"Well, I wouldn't say no dialogue at all. You need to convey a few things with words."
Actually, you don't. There isn't a single bit of dialogue in those scenes on Naboo that isn't conveyed by their actions.
Anyway, I didn't mean every scene between them, I mean the waterfall picnic, the hay ride (gah), even the stuff by Lake Como. It needs reducing substantially, and a montage could achieve that if done correctly.
I'm on the fence on this one, but I will say that the look that Padme gives Anakin at the waterfall picnic, just before they cut to the riding-the-animal-crap, is a perfect example of not needing words. That look she gives him was the first time (and possibly only time) that we actually get the feeling that she might like him. Until she's suddenly in love, of course.
I'm not sure if a montage would work, but I think it could. Certainly it could work better than too many words, which is what we got.
