Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones is often maligned as the weakest prequel — mostly because of how corny Anakin and Padmé’s romance is. The relationship between Anakin and Padmé in Attack of the Clones was meant to mirror Han and Leia’s in The Empire Strikes Back. In addition to the large age gap in both relationships, both couples share an intimate—but forbidden—kiss which is abruptly interrupted. But where The Empire Strikes Back succeeded in showing a budding romance between a princess and a scoundrel, Episode II floundered in conveying the feelings between a senator and her protector.
