The love story between Anakin Skywalker and Padma Amidala is one of the most heartbreaking in the Star Wars universe.
Their journey is a whirlwind of passion, secrets and devastating decisions that not only shape the rest of their lives, but slowly change the fate of the galaxy itself.
In this article, we'll explore the key moments in their love story, how their relationship developed, and what brought it to a tragic end.
1. Sparks in the Desert
The Phantom Menace (Episode 1)
Anakin and Padme's story begins in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. A galactic conspiracy unites them when a wide-eyed, determined slave boy and a queen in disguise meet by chance under Tatooine's double star. When nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker locked eyes with 14-year-old Padma Amidala, time seemed to stand still - as if galaxies had been pulled together and the cogs of destiny began to turn.
On the run: Disguised as a maid, Padmé and her entourage encounter Anakin while seeking refuge on Tatooine. "Are you an angel?" That was the first thing Anakin said when he saw her, and it was a sincere compliment from the heart, after which Anakin helped them repair their ship. "I'll marry you one day," Anakin said, a child without words. Padme smiled back -- it lingered like a promise written on stardust.
Significance: This moment marks the beginning of their relationship. While their age difference prevents romance, a deep bond based on admiration and curiosity is formed.
2. Love in Time of War: The story behind the relationship
Attack of the Clones (Episode 2)
Ten years later, Anakin is a Jedi apprentice and Padme is a senator devoted to diplomacy. When her life is threatened, Anakin is sent to protect her, and the wheels of fate begin to turn again.
During the few days that Anakin alone escorted Padme back to Naboo, in the presence of the big boy, Padme felt warmer than ever. By the beautiful Naboo Lake, the two young men stood side by side, Anakin said the worst words of love in the world, but still kissed Padme with his own daring.
Maybe the bad love speech came from the heart and not a bit of faking infected the queen, or maybe Anakin's passion, a strong desire for an Lovs, was reciprocated.
Significance: Facing your feelings is the beginning of love.
Secret marriage: In a hidden ceremony on Naboo, they swore an oath of eternal love, ignoring the Jedi code and Padmars responsibilities as a senator. Anakin and Padme made the dangerous decision to marry in secret.
Shadow of fear: Anakin falls into darkness

Haunted by visions of Padmars death, Anakin desperately tries to save her. In his twisted quest for power, he turns to Emperor Palpatine and embraces the dark side.

Unprecedented loneliness and fear consumed Anakin's fragile heart, accompanied by anger and suspicion. He doubted his mentor and friend Obi-Wan, but also missed the one person who truly helped him. Blinded by darkness, Anakin mistakenly believed Padme had betrayed him and in a rage hurt his beloved wife. This prophetic dream came true when Padme gave birth to twins, Luke and Leia, and died of a broken heart. Before he died, he begged Obi-Wan: "Save him, I know there is good in him."
After blackening, the lightsaber can still see the original appearance, but also reflects the changes in Anakin's heart affected by the darkness, but in the film of the love of children is still buried in the depths of the heart, In addition to the Master and Master Obi-Wan lightsaber duel with a little force, the previous episodes of the appearance of the number of times less pathetic, the follower three sisters (proposed to use Anakin's children to lure the other Jedi and Obi-Wan) is also a few times to lock throat.
