First off, permission to say I adore your icon? Seriously. ^__^
Definite LOL at the Karen Miller quote. *Should read Wild Space sometime* Sweet Sith -- I've really been out of the EU ever since the LOTF thing, haven't I? #LOTF kind of sent me into a Heroic BSOD, especially with Luke's WTF-worthy (IMHO) behavior. Sorry. :(
And yes, Stover's made of infinite win. Seriously. :)
I'm not the biggest Anakin/Padme fan - I never really bought it in the movies. There was too much about their relationship that I just didn't like, probably starting with the "sand" line in AotC, then the way Padme just glossed over Anakin's slaughter of the Tusken Raiders... thought I will say, one of the most beautiful scenes in RotS was that scene where Padme and Anakin both look out the windows to where each other are while Padme's Ruminations plays in the background. It's a chilling, amazing scene. So if I do ever ship Anakin/Padme, in fanfic or anywhere else, it'll be because of that.
Agreed with you so very much, especially regarding the Padme's Ruminations scene! :D
And yeah, the movies...*Sighs* The movies had the "heart" for the romance (no pun intended), especially considering that Hayden and Natalie are really, really good actors. I think the main problem lies in the execution. (Poor Anakin. I swear somewhere, that phrase is engraved on his tombstone. #I kid, Anakin! XD)
