Star Wars Jokes That Aren’t Just for Diehard Fans

If you weren’t aware, in Episode I, Anakin was just nine years old. By then, his flirting game was already on-point. He hadn’t even hit puberty and he was already swooning Padmé Amidala, the freaking Queen of Naboo. However, if she had a boyfriend, things would have ended differently.

A lot differently. There’d be no Luke or Leia, no brother-sister on-screen kissing, and Darth Vader might not have been a thing. Instead, she responds with “You a funny little boy,” and they were pretty much destined to be together, according to the script. We still have a hard time wrapping our minds around the fact that Padmé was just 14 years old and a Queen of a planet.
