In this episode of Memeobi’s Galaxy, Memeobi sits down with a special guest a Texas-based cosplayer and fellow homeschooler to take a fresh, objective look at one of the most criticized elements in Star Wars: Anakin and Padmé’s romance in Attack of the Clones.

Often dismissed as awkward or poorly written, their relationship starts to make a lot more sense when viewed through the lens of Anakin’s upbringing as a sheltered, emotionally stunted Jedi something Memeobi and his guest relate to all too well. From missed social cues to intense attachment and limited life experience, we break down why the love story works for these characters, even if it makes audiences uncomfortable.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Attack of the Clones deserves a second look or why Star Wars’ most hated romance might actually be its most honest this episode is for you.
