Thank you. That sand dialogue was ghastly. As was the entire way that romance was handled in Attack of the Clones. Padme's ludicrous declaration of love seemed to come from a place of "Oh look, now he's murdered a bunch of Tusken Raider women and children, so he's much more fanciable".

George Lucas really over thought that entire subplot. I mean, they're teenagers, alone, hormones raging... We know what's going to happen, so just let it happen organically without a bunch of pseudo-Shakespearean nonsense. And for the love of all that's holy, please put them in peril or at least have a bounty hunter shooting at them... The Naboo sequences are painful. This is Star Wars, not a Hallmark romance.

Anakin is far more effective as a character in the Clone Wars TV series. They ditched the whiny aspects, and made him flamboyantly heroic, with the right touch of arrogance. At least in that version of the character, you can see why Padme might be attracted to him.
