/That and I think it would have provided a nice, lovely moment for Anakin and Padme both considering how most of the film is centered on Anakin's fall. I mean, you kind of have to provide some light moments in between the darkness, or the audience kind of becomes overwhelmed/
That’s very true. I guess that the dialogue in the balcony scene is supposed to be a light moment right before Anakin has his nightmare, but the nightmare arrives too quickly in that point in time and Padme and Anakin don’t do anything in that scene but talk about how much they love each other. I just wish that instead of all the scenes where Anakin’s sulking and brooding over what to do, there would be bittersweet moments where he’s talking with Padme about the baby or expressing his own hopes and fears about being a good father and teaching his child the ways of the Force (which could nicely lead into Vader telling Luke that he needs to complete his training with him, etc).
/I mean, he went through just about everything in the original trilogy just to find Luke. A little reference in the PT would have been nice, really/
It would, it really would. You could have seen where Vader’s growing bond with Luke came from and it would have been even more tragic with the dramatic irony of knowing what would happen between Anakin and his children.
/I don't think Obi-Wan had a romantic interest in Padme. I think he just cared for her as a friend/
I agree. I don't know if they just needed a reason for Anakin to go ballistic when Obi-Wan showed up in Mustafar, but, again, it wasn't necessary.
