This isn't a documentary. There isn't stuff happening behind the scenes that we aren't being shown. This is a story being told and, unwittingly or not, that is the behavior being portrayed.
Ret-conning is a thing, of course, and I'm not saying they meant to show Padme grooming him, but if those ambiguities are there, it's either intentional or bad writing.

She basically Bill Clintoned him...
She was high ranking royalty, he was a young unpaid apprentice assigned to her.
Plus, half the time they're flying around on his spaceships, even if he wanted to say "no", he couldn't because of the implication.

It depends on what your definition of “is” is

He's the most powerful jedi of all time, powerful enough to subdue the living embodiments of the light and dark sides of the force at the same time.

I think that the appropriate word is groomed.

Anakin was 19 and Padme was 24 when they started getting into the real stuff

I think they mean that she groomed him.
ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org · -14 pts · 360d
Nothing happened between them until he was 19 and she was 24.

I don't think you understand what grooming is because what you said does not preclude it.

What was up with padme in that scene? The lighting was so unflattering and she looked kinda nuts
Notyou@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 358d
Well she was about to fuck someone that she knew since he was 9 so there are probably a lot of crazy thoughts going through that head.
