When Anakin shared that he felt uneasy about the Jedi Council, Padmé wore a beaded, dark-colored dress with her hair down and curled.

loveee the repeated canonization of padme’s wardrobe being one of luthen’s many artifacts btw. like andor very much established that luthen’s shop is a lil mini colonial export factory that makes ornaments out of cultural objects with no care for their past. for padme to be commodified like that is soooooo juicy

AU idea. Anakin reaches over to kiss Padme’s neck
He would definitely do that and then she’d put the autopilot on and they’d head to the back of the ship.

Lucas: "I needed something that - sort of remind people of the real issue here is trying to save Padmé, and that that's what his conflict is, and that's why he's emotionally going back and forth, and it's very easy to have the audience believe that Anakin is miffed because he doesn't get to go on the mission, that he's angry because he's not a Master, and this scene is really designed to remind you that his real problem is that he just doesn't want to lose her and he knows that if the Emperor is killed, then any chance he has of saving her is going to be gone, that the Emperor is his only hope to saving her, which obviously drives him back to the Emperor's office." [Anakin's fatal decision] - George Lucas in Revenge of The Sith DVD commentary
For the people who think the reason behind Anakin’s emotional turmoil is because he’s a “whiny child who didn’t get his rank of Master.” That’s not why. The whole time the reason behind his distress and frustration throughout the movie is how he’s going to save the one love of his life, and George wanted people to know that.
“And Anakin smiles. Not a smile like the Emperor’s. Or a crazed grin like Darth Maul’s. Not even a smirk that Anakin might have shown Ahsoka back in his Jedi days. But a real smile.The smile that only Padme ever saw”

EXT. NABOO LAKE RETREAT, WATER SPEEDER, LANDING PLATFORM - LATE AFTERNOON
A water speeder driven by PADDY ACCU, the retreat caretaker, skims across the lake away from the island landing platform where a chrome Naboo Starship rests. ANAKIN and PADMÉ are sitting in the speeder as it skims away to where a lodge rises on a beautiful island in the middle of the lake.
EXT. NABOO LAKE RETREAT, LODGE, GARDEN TERRACE LATE AFTERNOON
ANAKIN and PADMÉ walk up the stairs from where the water speeder is parked onto a terrace overlooking a lovely garden. Behind them, PADDY ACCU supervises two serving girls, NANDI and TECKLA, as they carry the bags into the Lodge.
ANAKIN and PADMÉ stop at the balustrade. PADMÉ looks out across the garden to the shimmering lake and the mountains rising beyond. ANAKIN looks at her silently.
PADMÉ: When I was in Level Three, we used to come here for school retreat. See that island? We used to swim there every day. I love the water.
ANAKIN: I do too. I guess it comes from growing up on a desert planet.
PADMÉ becomes aware that ANAKIN is looking at her.
PADMÉ: ...We used to lie on the sand and let the sun dry us... and try to guess the names of the birds singing.
ANAKIN: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything's soft... and smooth...
He touches her arm. PADMÉ has become receptive to the way he looks at her but is nervous.
PADMÉ: There was a very old man who lived on the island. He used to make glass out of sand - and vases and necklaces out of the glass. They were magical.
ANAKIN:(looks into her eyes) Everything here is magical.
PADMÉ: You could look into the glass and see the water. The way it ripples and moves. It looked so real... but it wasn't.
ANAKIN: Sometimes, when you believe something to be real, it becomes real. Real enough, anyway...
They look into each other's eyes. He touches her chin.
PADMÉ: I used to think if you looked too deeply into glass, you would lose yourself.
ANAKIN: I think it's true...
ANAKIN kisses PADMÉ. She doesn't resist. She comes to her senses and pulls away.
PADMÉ: I shouldn't have done that.
ANAKIN: I'm sorry. When I'm around you, my mind is no longer my own.
PADMÉ: It's the situation... the stress...
He looks at her.
ANAKIN: ...the view.
