Part 2 in my Star Wars rant series.
Anakin and Padmé's relationship is creepy. He's obsessed with her, and she's much more of an adult than him. The whole thing is just weird and forced. Also the fact that they get married after dating for like a day is fucking weird. Did anyone actually think that would end well? And the "express your love before you die but then don't actually die" cliche is overused, even for a cliche.
"I don't like sand." No shit, Sherlock. Literally no human on earth (or Naboo or Tatooine) likes sand. This is also a pointless line.
How to you get the bottom of your shirt cut off? Also, Padmé's back got sliced open and she didn't get any blood on her white clothes.
The clones' armour is completely useless. They get shot, and then they die. The armour literally does nothing, so why don't they dress the clones in a T-shirt and jeans? It would be cheaper and easier to see and move in.
The entire movie just has pacing issues. Nothing happens for most of it, but the arena scene is confusingly action-y.
The wordplay is on point.
Anakin: but what about Padmé?
Padmé: *climbing pillar*
Obi-Wan: she seems to be on top of things.
R2-D2: *dragging C-3PO's head*
C-3PO: this is a total drag!
C-3PO's head: *laying next to his body* I'm beside myself!
This movie is also responsible for my childhood idea that your body weighs nothing after you die. I thought this because of the scene where Anakin is carrying his mother's body and I didn't think that adults could carry each other. I was like 7. Stop judging.
