The Moons of Iego: The Padmé Amidala & Anakin Skywalker Website

MISCELLANEOUS : BEGINNINGS - P/A FAN STORIES

-------------------------------------------

Well - it would seem obvious from the fact you're even on this site that you - hopefully - at least like P/A to some degree. ;) Most of us who come here love this pair, prequel bashers be darned; we're proud that we're fans. Where would Star Wars be without these two?

We all know when these two's love took hold of them. ;-) When did it take hold of you? Send in your tale, with your site URL and/or email. Try to keep it fairly short... nothing essay length.

Oh, and it is okay if you have to gush on the total hotness of Hayden/Anakin or Natalie/Padmé, but try not to have that be the only reason. ;-)

>>Aeryn [site / email] --> Sometime ago, I became a Darth Vader fan. He was already a cool bad guy, but when I began thinking about the human side he had, Anakin, I was even more intrigued. Another thing that very much intrigued me (despite the iffy acting) was the scene in Return of the Jedi where Luke and Leia discuss their mother - such an important character to the overall saga, who only gets mentioned once in three movies. What was this woman like, the one who'd married the man who became Vader? How did they come to be involved, and what was their relationship like, aside from obviously tragic? The rest is history - two separate intrigues melded into one, creating a spark of interest, which the prequels fueled into a small inferno. *g*

>>Sara [email] --> I didn't much like Star Wars at all. My mom used to sit me down in front of the TV and put it on, but I would wander away 20 minutes in. Of course, I was only four. But whenever someone pushes me to like something, I always rebel. So I just would not like Star Wars, even though my mom wanted me to.

When I was 11 TPM came out. I was on crutches at the time, after having my ankle severely sprained. My mom started bugging me again, and finally I agreed to go see it with them. Well, during the movie the fire alarm went off, and I had to go down the aisle without getting run over (I was small), then up the staris, outside, back down the stairs, back down the aisle again. Then I did it again when the fire alarm went off a second time. Needless to say I didn't go see it again.

After that, I didn't want to watch Star Wars anymore. But then, AOTC came out. I went to see it with my parents and two of my cousins on the second day it came out, and was instantly in love with it. The costumes, the scenery, the romance, I couldn't get enough of it. I am a hopeless romantic, so I loved the interaction between Anakin and Padmé. (Plus Hayden is amazingly hot.) I saw it three times in theatres, once with just my little sister and once alone. I wanted to see it more, but school got in the way.

I had my brother get a friend to download it for me so I could watch it at home. The quality was bad, but I knew most of the scenes by heart by then. I would say the lines with the actors, mimicking their voices.

I bought the DVD the day it came out, and I watch it as often as I can. But for some reason, my mom no longer tries to force me to watch Star Wars. Actually, she now tells me I watch it too much. Go figure.

>>Katelyn [email] --> I have always loved Star Wars since my Dad first made me watch the movies. When I watched the Trilogy, I always wondered what Luke and Leia's mother was like, why she would marry someone like Darth Vader, but also why Vader was so depressed and angry. Well, the Prequels answered all my questions! I was ten when I saw TPM, I only watched it because of Padmé, Anakin, Artoo, and Threepio. I have to say it wasn't one of Lucas's best. But when AOTC came out, I matured more and understood SW more better. Every time I saw Padmé and Anakin together butterflies fluttered in my stomach! And besides I thought Anakin was really really cute! So I then became a hardcore P/A fan!

>>Rhonda [site] --> As much as I loved Darth Vader, as curious as I was about his past and his wife/Luke & Leia's mother, I didn't plan on an active interest in the relationship at all. I innocently started watching TPM knowing that this little boy and teenage queen had to get together someday, but for Episode I there was an obvious no/no age gap. Episode I in general was mildly entertaining but, I found I loved every Anakin and Padme scene. As much as people down talk little Jake Lloyd, I thought he and Natalie were magnificent in providing a platform for introducing young adult Anakin (Hayden) in Episode II. There was something sweet about the innocence of first love that was seen in Jake Lloyd's Anakin and something equally sweet in how Natalie Portman's Padme cared for the little boy even though it would be a few years before she could see him as anything else. Episode I established a beautiful relationship between two youngsters and provided a platform for it to mature in Episode II.

>>Lyn [email] --> My parents always liked the movies so, when I was little they sat with me to watch it. I loved it then and I love it now. I adored the movies, especially Leia. When I saw that Endor scene (where Luke tells Leia they're brother & sister) I wondered for that split second that she's mentioned, who she was, what her life had been like...I mean she must be one incredible woman to have "produced" these two amazing people.

When Ep1 came out I fell in love with SW all over again. But now there was a new character to adore--Padme (played by the BEST--Natalie Portman) and of course cute little Anakin. Ep2...BLEW ME AWAY!! Hello!! Hayden Christensen!! *melts* Their scenes were pure magic to me...I thought the two of them were beautiful to watch. Their love is so pure, and even though I knew what was going to eventually happen to them, a part of me wanted it to work SO badly...

>>Mixza [email] --> I saw Star Wars Episode 1 for the first time during a school assembly when the teachers could think of anything else to do with us. I loved it, so I rented it and watched it again. And again. Not long after AOTC came out and I went to movies to see it with some friends. My main thought throughtout the whole movie was : "OMG, Anakin is so HOT!" ;) Basically I loved Anakin and Padme when I saw the wedding scene. It was just so touching... I loved the way the romance seemed pre-destined, even though we all know it ends in tragedy.
