This Week's Poll

The winner of last week's poll on how Palpatine knew Anakin and Padmé were married is..."psykik powerz!"

[Poll #526221]

Why does Padmé love that scamp Anakin?

This came up recently on an A/P community and someone mentioned some great insights on her LJ http://www.livejournal.com/users/vadersangel/3604.html

But there's something that's rarely mentioned and it is exactly the same reason why Leia falls for Han, despite the that he is a scoundrel, a criminal, and a mercenary. No man made Leia or Padmé feel the way they did before. Han and Anakin set the fuses off in their ladies and there was just no going back. That level of passion is a very powerful thing and there's no intellectualizing it.
