during the picnic scene where Anakin talks about liking two or three senators and not being sure about one of them and padme chuckles it was because he was referring to jar jar. I cannot have watched aotc 9 times and not realized this

something that really irked me about the choices george lucas makes is him cutting out scenes that give padme more character like dude what??? soooo anyway are the deleted scenes canon or are they not :< ... padme introducing ani to her family was so sweet and wholesome i havent stopped thinking about it :,(

one thing that pisses me off again about people and their understanding of padme is how they joke or even seriously can come up with theories of her cheating on anakin with obi wan, now, no problem if you ship those two but saying that just because she keeps mentioning obi wan is seriously infuriating padme cares a lot about others. she's a kind character and she looks out for people a lot-- she knows anakin is close with obi wan as he had told her many times that he's like a father to him. of course she would know obi wan could help him since he's always expressed distrust towards the jedi council and such. i dont need to go through that to say why do i XD padme wants anakin to get help from people who have the actual power to help solve his problems because all she can do really is talk to him and calm him down. she was right, she's a senator and he's a jedi and their relationship would just be strained-- because she isn't there in the field he's in, if that makes sense. she just can be there to listen, but not really take action. she doesnt know the ways of the jedi and has never talked to them, because she's just a senator, or how they work. to her she grounds anakin using the way she's always known, not meditating and such, but just talking to him. i have to give props to natalie's acting :,) in aotc we can see her shocked when anakin confesses he killed the tusken raiders and there's a sliver of "what do i say now, what do i do?" and the best she can come up with is "to be angry is to be human." she knows how anakin feels in that moment i think- both of them were practically forced to grow up because of their duties, im very sure padme knows how frustrated anakin is not being able to save the ones he cares about- because thats exactly what happened in tpm. she's just 14 and she's forced in the situation where she has to help so many of her people from dying because of the trade federation boycotts-- in so many of the situations where she is helpless she can't do much but try-- frustratingly hard --to talk people out of it (like in that scene from tpm) and now rewatching aotc i kind of get it. both of them are helpless in different ways. padme's using talking to solve her problems and when the majority in her government disagrees to her ideas she has to agree along with them even though she's against it, or try to think of something else to convince them again.-- and anakin's... well, mostly fighting, or aggresive negotiations in his words and doing stuff his own way, what he sees fit, (im very sorry if i described stuff wrong because im not really good with wording things agsagjhfagfja) people say padme's line is weird.. and i originally did too but now i see that padme and anakin are pretty much the same. her options on what to say are limited because she cant even have the power to help herself when she's angry in most cases. which really makes me wonder if padme was a jedi she would just be as impulsive as anakin... wow so anyway i love padme, a whole whole lot. if people make more jokes about her being unfaithful to anakin i will jump into a pit and die
