Hey guys. I found this over at Episode-X.com This is a major scene from Episode II, near the end of the movie, where Padme confesses her love for Anakin, and Anakin essentially proposes to her. I'll say it again, this thing is filled with major spoilers from AOTC, so if you don't want to know, stop reading now. Here goes:
Anakin and Padmé are standing in the center of what resembles a courtroom – this is in fact the High Audience Chamber on Geonosis. Seated before them in a tall, boxed-off area is Poggle the Lesser, Archduke of the planet, accompanied by his underling, Sun Rit. Off to one side side the Separatist Senators Po Nudo, Tikkes and Toonbuck Toora. Right next to them are the Commerce Dignitaries, Shu Mai, Nute Gunray, Passel Argente, Wat Tambor and San Hill of the Intergalactic Bank Clan. Along the wall approximately a hundred Geonosians are waiting for a verdict.
Sun Rit speaks up, addressing Padmé and Anakin “You have been charged and found guilty of Espionage.”
Poggle asks them if they have anything to say before their sentence is carried out, to which Padmé shoots back that he is committing an act of war. “I hope you are prepared for the consequences.”
Poggle laughs. Count Dooku, who is also present, simply smiles.
Poggle tells Senator Amidala that they build weapons… it is their business! “Of course we’re prepared!”
Suddenly Nute Gunray, who seems annoyed, raises his voice. “Get on with it. Carry out the sentence. I want to see her suffer.”
Poggle tells the Senator that her other Jedi friend is waiting for them. “Take them to the arena!”
Four guards take hold of Padmé and Anakin. They are escorted out of the chamber to the sounds of chuckling.
Anakin and Padmé are tossed into an open cart in a gloomy tunnel leading to the execution arena. The murmur of a vast crowd is heard in the background. Guards extend their arms along the framework and tie them so that they stand facing each other. The driver gets up onto his seat
“Don’t be afraid”, Anakin says to Padmé, to which she replies that she is not afraid to die. “I’ve been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life.”
Anakin asks her what she’s talking about. “I love you”, she reveals.
“You love me?! I thought we decided not to fall in love. That we’d be forced to live a lie. That it would destroy our lives…”
Padmé says she thinks their lives are about to be destroyed, anyway. “My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no answers.” She says she can’t control it…and that now she doesn’t care. “I truly, deeply love you, and before we die I want you to know.”
Padmé leans toward Anakin. By straining hard, it is just possible for their lips to meet. They kiss.
Anakin says that he has no desire to be cured of this love either. “Long or short, I vow to spend the rest of my life with you.”
huh? youre saying you saw that before me? big whoop. it just got posted 3 hours ago, so if your admitting that you have no life and see all that stuff the second it gets put online, then good for you. you knew that 3 hours before everyone else. pat yourself on the back
no crap dude. i said i got it from the post. i dont have personal connections at lucasfilm or anything. i saw it on the episode-x.com and and figured id share the news with everyone else. i wasnt aware some arrogant fool would bragg that he had seen it "waaay" before me, as if it even matters. even though it couldnt have been more than a few hours before i made the post. i dont give a flip if you saw the announcement before me. you did? good for you. want a cookie? i just thought some of my fellow starwars fans would enjoy seeing the news. if you wanted "credit" for seeing it first, next time why dont you cut and paste it so we can all read it. then we can all bow down and tell you how awesome you are.
i dont like people who think they know everything, and people that try to brag, especially about stupid stuff where it shouldnt even be an issue. never have, never will.
i think its a great sign of the magic of the original trilogy being recaptured. looking solely at that one scene, theres alot of emotion and chemistry! kudos to GL for geting Hale's help!!!!
