Eh, Pris, I'm with you on the mom thing. And those visions? I think Uncle George still thinks that babies come from the prop room or something.
Romance--I don't think Uncle George has been the same since he divorced his wife back in the 80's.
Me: Oh please don't tell me the Republic Falls because somebody didn't read "What to Expect..." in the bathroom.
Hubby: You'd think a Dark Lord would maybe, I dunno, *talk* to his wife about his fears
***LS Hubby points gained***
Hubby: How about asking somebody who's not male, celibate, or green about having babies
***even more LS Hubby points gained***
Hubby: Tell me she's not giving birth with a bunch of guys sitting there and watching like it's Pay-Per-View Wrestling
***LS Hubby Mastery Achieved***
It would have made more sense, been more tragic, and kept more continuity if Padme would have lost her mind instead of lost the will to live. I mean, there are hormones at work, here! Severe depression leading to melancholia and eventual death when Leia was like, five, would have made a lot more sense than having the girl who was elected queen at 14 (okay, WTF's up with that--I'd barely trust a 14 year old with watching my cat, much less ruling my planet), survived about 40 assassination attempts by the time she hit 25, had the guts to tell a hormonal 20 year old "we can't have a relationship" while wearing a merry widow and a petticoat, and went off to rescue Obi-wan and the Incredible Kenobi Hair...just up'n'die.
And somebody pointed out in the kfm.com boards--why do the clone troopers have to kill the full grown jedi when Anakin gets to go after the defenseless kids? Lazy, I tell ya...lazy!
*clapclapclap*
