Release the Tattooine files!
To be fair she was also a child.
And further to the point, they didn’t actually fall in love until Anakin was getting ready to graduate to knighthood. That would put him at 18, maybe 19 and her at 23/24-ish.
Like twice his age still.
Not when they became romantically involved.
He was just nine and she was fourteen.
(14 * 0.5) + 7 = 14
(9 * 0.5) + 7 = 11.5Sounds like Padme got some splainin to do.
But she also didn’t take a romantic interest in him until 10 years later.
So for reference with updated numbers. She would be 24, and he would be 19…
(24 * 0.5) + 7 = 19Well would you look at that.
Probably just a coincidence. Not an attempt at ass covering at all! Nope!
What are these numbers
The common wisdom (at least in the US college I attended) for the youngest acceptable age gap for a person is to halve their age then add 7 years. So for a 24 year old, 19 is as young as their partner can acceptably be in a relationship.
Common wisdom my ass. Its stupid is what it is. Relationships are always more complex than a math formula with one variable…
I couldn’t possibly imagine a relationship with a 26-year-old.
Well, it’s the minimum socially acceptable age.
A 38 year old dating a 26 year old? I don’t think there’s anything socially unacceptable about that.
25 though? Well I should just call Chris Hansen right now.
Ehhhhhhh
It’s certainly not the first thing I think of when I meet a couple, but now you know.
I haven’t personally heard this math, and I think it’s ick and prudish personally. But you’re taking a risk getting into a relationship with someone under 25. She FAFO lol
I don’t know about that. There were some significant glances in that first film. She was giving a vibe. There was something there me thinks…
Thats what I saw.
My, my, this here Anakin guy…
Maybe Vader, some day later, now he’s just a small fry
Holy shit, I had forgotten about Padmé’s royal outfits, and how dumb they looked.
I thought they were beautiful.
I can see the artistic appeal of them, but personally I tend to look at practicality first and most of them were absolutely idiotic in that regard.
personally I tend to look at practicality
not usually how royal clothing works, or at least the practical goal isn’t moving around easily or being comfortable, the practical goal is projecting the image of being royalty, important for commanding the awe and loyalty of the subjects
Eh, sure, but some of her outfits would be completely insane to wear in a war situation as the security service would have a very hard time evacuating her
Easier to hide body armor under it.
Doesn’t she usually have her body double wear these clothes, and she herself wear the more practical attendant(?) outfit?
It’s about 50/50. She spends most of the movie dressed as a handmaiden, but that’s largely because the Tatooine sequence lasts so long.
I don’t actually remember…
Me neither exactly but I don’t think her outfits are that unreasonable considering this.
There’s room for a lot of pockets.
Straight up ripped some historical shit, barely modified and made SPACE
