How is this not grooming?

It was an arranged marriage. Sheev used the force to make padme fall in love with anakin.

She's a jew so it's ok

I think it has something to do with how they casually and quickly accuse people they don’t like of being a pedophile as quick and easy character assassination. It’s made them too paranoid. How this came to be a thing with them, I have no idea but I suspect it will be used in the future to make MAPs a thing because then zoomers will feel le guilty about persecuting them for so long.

fpbp

She trained him from childhood.

ok pedo

Wants to keep it casual between them. Wears this.

Her being so caring and smiling at him is what solidified his one-itus.

Lucas is a hack. He should’ve never been a kid in Phantom but age he was in Clones being trained by Obi Wan. He also never should’ve come from Tatooine. Completely retarded! Let’s send Luke to hide out with his uncle on the very planet Vader came from. He won’t ever look there. God I hate the fucking prequels!

Grooming is fake news. It isn't real.

Look for what retard, he thinks his kid is dead

poor nat, she has no boobage to even lift

This actually would have made for an interesting subplot in the Prequels

Padme is a femme fatale manipulative witch in league with Palpatine

the two scheme to make Anakin Skywalker fall in love with her to gain leverage over him

one problem, it works a little too well and Padme ACTUALLY completely falls in love with Anakin after even mild exposure to his enormous Force powers fills her with woman-brained lust for him

Would have been a great way for Palpatine to plant the seeds of his own downfall all the way back in the Prequels too.

Friendly reminder that Padmé was Senator for six years before Attack of the Clones. These two were living two space blocks away for six years and never even went to brunch.
...or did they? I don't read gay comic books.

Obi Wan was dragging Anakin around the galaxy on various missions and shit for the Republic during those 10 years. Plenty of EU stuff about it.

Its actually so retarded that it works, why would he think his Son would be there in hiding? Suppose he might return there for other reasons, but he mightve wanted to completely block it out too, sensing anything about that place hed just think it had to with his Mom dying. Also having been innocent on that planet once and hed just block that out like its a call to retvrn to the light side to be suppressed. Also Lars wasnt actually Lukes uncle.

Calls for a vote of no confidence in Valorum because he won't use supreme dictator powers to favor her self-interests

SO THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIES

Bitch you killed it.

Counter argument.
black.
Also the trade federation doesn't have the right to invade planets.

Emergency powers doesnt automatically mean indefinite suspension of democracy. I do hate women thobiet.

spoiler

How the fuck would anybody know that? All we ever see Jedi doing is wandering around the Jedi Temple playing with laser balls and meditating and shit. Also the concept of the passage of time is virtually impossible to take seriously in a universe with intergalactic instant transmission. These niggas can teleport to the Outer Rim, genocide a tribe of arabs, and be back on Coruscant in time to catch the 7 o'clock showing of midochlorian in vitro fertilization, smoke two packs of death sticks, and get dinner at Dexter Jettster's with enough time to slap Padmé's Amidalas.

Well based off the start of Episode 1, you kind of assume Obi and Ani have been doing stuff like that. Plus they reference missions in Ep 2

Padme was a kid in the first movie as well.

Well, no. Weak men seeking to use women to control strong men killed it. They also invented feminism and gave women rights for the same purpose.

t. Palpatine

No but seriously, this is exactly what the Jedi Council argue about in Revenge of the Sith; that Palpy won't give up his emergency powers that have been in place since the beginning of the war.

These niggas can teleport to the Outer Rim, genocide a tribe of arabs, and be back on Coruscant in time to catch the 7 o'clock showing of midochlorian in vitro fertilization, smoke two packs of death sticks, and get dinner at Dexter Jettster's with enough time to slap Padmé's Amidalas.

Space Travel in SW is not instantaneous. How stupid do you have to be to make a post like this? There are several segments in the movies dealing with the subject.

... Space travel doesn't work like that at all in Star Wars

Name one (1)

How does it work?

To be fair, it's never said anywhere in TPM that she's only a teenager. Also why the fuck would an entire planet elect a teenager to be their queen?

Hyperspace.

What did I say?

It's dey culcha

Also why the fuck would an entire planet elect a teenager to be their queen?

Palpatine was behind it.

Netalee is carrying on a proud najooian tradition.

You asked how it works, and I told you. Hyperspace. Did you not watch A New Hope?

I hate jews so much but man prime natalie can fart in my mouth if she wants to.

No

Between 150-18 bby, was an elected monarchy. Rulers came into power via election, and were not directly thrust into power through their parents. Therefore, people chose to elect young monarchs (though not all were young)
Naboo frequently elected young leaders, often teenagers, as monarchs because of a few key factors. Naboo's system of government, while not explicitly democratic, valued the fresh perspectives and "pure, childlike wisdom" they believed young people possessed. They also believed in a "Legislative Youth Program" which prepared young people for leadership roles. The belief was that younger rulers were less likely to be corrupted by power and more likely to be driven by the needs of their people.

he's bigger than her

I see no problem

You can't possibly be this fucking stupid.

How is this not grooming?

they're only five years apart in age and were both minors in episode 1
she didn't want to keep it casual, that was the problem. for her it was either all the way or nothing. anakin was the one that suggested it be more casual if anything since he would have to keep it on the down-low.

Hyperspace is also my answer. The difference is that my reasoning came with an implication, and yours is just to repeat a word without any mechanical explanation.
See, if I call you a faggot, it doesn't really carry the same weight without the defining implication of you being fisted in the outer rim by Kit Fisto while Coleman Trebor wanks off in the corner.
You startin' to understand words, yeah? Ever pick up a dictionary? It's not just a list of words. Sorry for the spoiler.

Brown phoneposting piece of shit.

Name one (1)

what this means

Name one (1)

nta but it's in the first movie. the trip from tatooine to alderaan is actually several days, only evidenced by han's bit about "we should be arriving by 0200" or whatever the line is.

also in empire, luke is on dagobah for several weeks, the only evidence of this is the falcon's faulty hyperdrive forcing them to fly on impulse power.

IN THE FIRST MOVIE EVER FUCKING MADE YOU DUMB SACK OF SHIT
AS SOON AS LUKE AND OBI-WAN LEAVE TATOOINE
THIS IS CHILDREN'S FILM AND YOU CAN'T PAY ATTENTION

It means you should kill yourself.

Yeah well thats why Padme was having her doubts about a lot, dealing with one planet being invaded puts clear cut parameters on emergency powers being used, if thats the reason for them then once the crisis is averted they are to be given up and thats the expectation that the chancellor is being held to. Once its a full fledged intergalactic war that spans years things get a bit different, though it wouldve made more sense if the republic just became the empire during the war instead of once it had wrapped up. Also had it lasted longer it would make more sense that people would just get used to democracy not really being a thing anymore but being okay with it because fuck em separatist bastards.

Explain this.

The belief was that younger rulers were less likely to be corrupted by power and more likely to be driven by the needs of their people.

That makes zero sense. A child is MORE likely to be influenced or corrupted because they're retarded. That's literally what happens in TPM when Palpatine convinces Padme to start a vote to oust the old Chancellor

What space time did they leave Tatooine?
Thanks for the answer anyway. I get that Hyperspace is not instantaneous, but my point is that based in the way it's portrayed, it may as well be. It's not like Star Trek where space travel and its mechanics are a major subject of many episodes and the overarching narrative of the entire series.
The greatest obstacle to effectively being instantly in one place versus another is

Do we have a hyperdrive?

Is it functional?

There's really nothing to establish the inbetween, because characters don't talk about it, because it's not a primary focus. The issue becomes when it SHOULD be, but isn't brought up because George Lucas is a fat retard.

Valorum, it would take X amount of space days/weeks/etc... for an official commission to travel to Naboo from Coruscant, or even the closest Republic outpost. I cannot leave my people for that long when it has already taken us so long to arrive here and call for your aid!

That's all you need. One short line to make the situation have weight and the audience to understand, and Jorge couldn't handle it. Instead I'm just sitting here thinking

Just send a couple of dudes to speedrun to Naboo, livestream their arrival to the senate hearing, have them see the blockade, send the big guns behind them, and arrest Nute Gunray, all during the same scene

Boom. The movie over. Fuck Episodes II and III, they don't exist now.

The innocence of children has been spiritualized for centuries

Women are seen as more naturally nurturing towards children, and men are seen as more sexually dangerous because of their strength and impaling sexual organs.

though it wouldve made more sense if the republic just became the empire during the war instead of once it had wrapped up

palpatine needed a legitimate reason to reorganize, an assassination attempt thwarted, extremists dealt with, and victory in war were more legitimate than "oy vey da republic ain't working anymore we need anudda shoah"

That makes zero sense. A child is MORE likely to be influenced or corrupted because they're retarded. That's literally what happens in TPM when Palpatine convinces Padme to start a vote to oust the old Chancellor

yes that's the intent you retard
palpatine used their own systems against them
t. never watched a star wars movie

Men and women are different, stop being autistic and pretending to be totally clueless about social realities.

How long does it take them to get to Alderaan, or rather, its remains?

canonically it's two days

Are you trolling or are you actually retarded?

palpatine used their own systems against them

Yeah, I know. I'm saying the system itself is retarded and makes zero sense when you actually think about it

yeah well naboo is literally planet liberal arts, what else could you expect?

The issue is that nobody except Padmé and Valorum know about the invasion. How does he backup his call for his usage of emergency powers without evidence of his own? All she had to do was let him send the commission to investigate and the invasion would be over, because only one of two things could happen

Nute Gunray shits himself and calls for the invasion to cease immediately and for everybody to get the fuck away from Naboo ASAP, likely leaving a fuckton of evidence in the process

The invasion/blockade continues when the commission arrives, Republic forces are dispatched, and the Senate immediately arrests Nute Gunray

Quite literally all Padmé had to do was let this nigga do his job, and she got played by the dumbest asshole in the galaxy because the force willed it, I guess.

Episode 2 is peak Padme

All she had to do was let him send the commission to investigate and the invasion would be over, because only one of two things could happen

she had to let the chancellor send the investigation committee that the trade federation would be influencing? reminder that the blockade was legal, you faggot nigger phoneposting zoomer, get out of the thread and don't post until you actually watch the fucking films you talk about. the trade federation took over the same way they imprisoned jews in camps and the salvation army dropped by for an inspection and walked off saying it was good to go.

planet liberal arts

still find time to be space racist with the gungans

It's the little things, really.

What was it canonically in 1977?

The Trade Federation would be influencing the commission

The blockade/invasion was legal

If that's true, why were they sweating during the hearing?

Both.
What time did they leave Tatooine?

still just a few days
because while the blockade was legal, the invasion was not.

reminder that the blockade was legal

Then why did they immediately try to kill the Jedi sent to simply negotiate a resolution to the blockade?

So when the commission is allowed (or denied) entry through the blockade, what happens?

These are the official travel times
So to go from Coruscant to Naboo it takes 4 or 5 days using Hyperspace with a good Hyperdrive

Dioxis is a recreational stimulant for Neimoidians. They were just being generous guests, letting the Jedi take a hit before all the paper pushing, they had no idea it was toxic to human beans.

Damn, I must have missed this scene.

the jedi were not even supposed to be there, they aren't ambassadors. valorum sent them to force the trade federation to cease the blockade.
the commission was never going to be sent, or would come back and pretend all was good. either way palpatine had it planned out.

i just realized her suit contains a built-in bra. because there's no underwear in that universe

The reason I say it wouldve made more sense during the war is because that gives reason to shift fully into a militaristic society especially if the war was really dragging on and so much of the republic was just sorta redundant because of emergency powers being used, the fact that it wrapped up in 3 years and everyones like welp the enemy is gone we could have proper democracy back but fuck it lets clap for just totally getting rid of it forever was not something I really understood, the failed coup or assassination attempt was obviously a good precursor to the shift and doing order 66 because of it, but it wouldve been interesting to see more of a demonstration of ‘heroes on both sides’ and a striving for peace that gets thwarted with the jedi also demonised for trying to ‘be reasonable’ with the separatists or something. Guess as a movie RotS works pretty well to conclude the trilogy with some satisfaction rather than having the clones wars just presumed to be tied up at some point later like Im suggesting, having Anakin mercilessly (for understandable reason) wipe out the CIS leadership did feel like an important part of things, but theres a lot that just doesnt really add up to me.

the commission was never going to be sent, or would come back and pretend all was good.

Livestream it. Also

Anakin and Obi-Wan lived in that nest of gundarks for four years.

the nemodians are just an entire race of whippit huffers

I can see it

It's not zoomers in particular. Words have lost their meaning significantly over the past two decades:

Racist

Sexist

Homophobe

Nazi

Incel

Bigot

Fascist

etc

the jedi were not even supposed to be there, they aren't ambassadors

The Viceroy (and his protocol droid) literally calls them ambassadors in the first five minutes of the movie. They were aware of their coming to negotiate as extensions of Valorum.

The reason I say it wouldve made more sense during the war is because that gives reason to shift fully into a militaristic society especially if the war was really dragging on and so much of the republic was just sorta redundant because of emergency powers being used

and yet a reorganization would be seen as an abuse of that power
yeah you're just plain stupid and don't pay attention

YOU FUCKING RETARD THEY WERE SPIES POSING AS AMBASSADORS HOW FUCKING INEPT ARE YOU

ARE YOU FROM THE THIRD FUCKING WORLD OR JUST MENTALLY DEFLATED? PAY ATTENTION TO THE GODDAMN DIALOGUE YOU FAGGOT ASS NIGGER

What were they spying on?

THEY WERE SPYING ON YOUR MOM IN THE SHOWER BECAUSE SHE'S A FUCKING WHORE THAT BREEDS RETARDS LIKE YOU

And what was their plan when the Jedi Order started asking what happened to the two Jedi they sent to Naboo officially as diplomats?

Do showers even exist in Star Wars?

and yet a reorganization would be seen as an abuse of that power

Why wasnt it when Palpy did it then? Im just giving extra justification for his reorganisation speech, the version of things in the movies has less reason to happen.

Padme likes her men like she likes her soda, 7 and Up.

They don't have real-time, intergalactic transmissions in Star Wars, or what?

get job at target

meet 19 year old

am 10 years older

all of 2024 we went out and smoked weed and went to parties etc

one day she mentions her parents took her phone and fund vapes in her roomm

gets grounded

mentions her mom thinks it's weird we text so much

since then could tell things were off

2 weeks ago I tell her she's been pushing me away and making excuses to never hang out as much as before

tells me "I think I should hang out with people my own age"

But before this there were ZERO fucking problems, her mom and friends put shit into her head I feel. I'm just mad cause she is acting like the past year didn't happen. She told me it all meant nothing to her, I dont get it

nigger
nigger
nigger
nigger

I always liked the fan theory that Anakin was pulling a subtle mind trick on Padme to make her fall for him, maybe even doing it subconsciously. It explains why they go from "he gives me the ick" to married by the end of the movie despite having little chemistry or romantic gestures. Also explains why Jedi are forbidden to love: they'll subconsciously warp the mind of the target of their affection just by being around them, which is pretty dark side.

How rude.

At last, I truly see

I talked to my girlfriend about this and us. She said it’s not grooming because she wanted it, so there you go

It explains why they go from "he gives me the ick" to married by the end of the movie despite having little chemistry or romantic gestures

clearly you ignored the entire naboo arc, they literally have a romp in the grass and she stops having the ick when they talk about love on the airbus

Dude....you near 30 years old and you are going to parties and smoking weed with people who are getting grounded by their parents....and you think THEY are the problem?

Grooming isn't the same thing as having someone younger than you be attracted to you, you stupid fucking idiot.

Half your age plus seven.

Women can' be groomers

he doesn't want to admit he's a ephebo/pedo

This one is particularly perplexing. I guess they expect the dude to remain a virgin for all eternity.

Yes. The last leader of Naboo had a spine and was interfering with Sheev's plans so he got a brainless child elected as queen.

It's not taboo on Naboo

Sorry, bro, that sucks. It’s hard having such a young girlfriend because fucking EVERYONE hates you for it. Fuck them

My nigga, I know missing out on 19 year old puss is devastating but at the same time, you’re basically 30 years old working at Target and smoking vapes with someone who can be grounded. Let it go bro

made me literalol

In the first movie, C-3P0 and Chewbacca have time to play chess and Obi Wan gives Luke a crash course in the Force while the Falcon is explicitly in transit between Tattooine and Alderaan

Every ship bigger than a fighter or shuttle is shown to have bunks

In ESB Lando changes clothes between Bespin and rendezvousing with the rebel fleet, which he wouldn't do if it took less than a day

In TPM Padme has time to give R2-D2 a medal for fixing the ship

In AotC Obi Wan has to call Padme to bounce his signal from Kamino to Coruscant

iirc in AotC days pass on Naboo between Obi Wan leaving Coruscant and arriving on Kamino. Same for Kamino -> Geonosis

It is never shown or implied that people commute between planets for their daily job, to live in an affordable shithole and work where pay is great, which would be obvious if intergalactic travel was as trivial as you imply

In ANH Han charges Luke the price of a ship for passage to Alderaan, but if crossing the galaxy were so easy, there would be a dozen other ships that could give them a lift just for something to do

According to this rule a 34yo could date a 24yo and that's downright creepy.

According to the law in most US states and in most countries in the world, a 34yo could date a 16yo and nobody can do shit about it

checked but only certain people consider it creepy, that used to be more of a regular thing
don't forget that revenge of the sith takes place over the course of nine months (padme's pregnancy)

The only reason "age gaps" are considered creepy these days is because most modern relationships are not considered long term
Nobody would give a shit about a 34 year old dating a 24 year old (or younger) in the past because the goal of both the participants in the relationship would be lifelong marriage and having children

Wasted trips. If you're 24 you're old enough to decide 34 isn't too old. It's not like you're dating your grandpa, he's only ten years older. That's not even "middle age" yet.

men cant be groomed to grow up straight

okay pedo
The correct rule should be [(your age/2)+(your age/3)]. So a 34yo creep can only date down to 28

okay pedo
The correct rule should be (your age)+10 so a 34 year old creep can only date a mature 44 year old woman who has established the life skills necessary to determine who she is attracted to and wants to pursue a relationship with

How is that creepy? Most people in the last had anywhere between 0-10 years of difference between their ages. My parents are 6 years apart.

Is okay when a woman does it

The correct rule is I date whoever I’m legally allowed to and you can seethe about it

The correct rule should be (your age)+10

this would allow a 18yo woman to rape 8 year old toddlers.
Thanks for confirming to be a pedophile

No, because an 18 year old woman would only be allowed to date someone 28 years old. And the 28 year old person would only be allowed to date someone 38 years old. And the 38 year old person would only be allowed to date someone 48 years old.
This is obviously better for everyone.

bin laden was hanging out in an estate in the capital fucking city of pakistan and took years longer to find than Saddam hiding in a spider hole

Oh you're one of those people. Nvm.

Aayla Secura takes Senator Amidala on another tour of the padawan dorms

The correct age of consent should be marriage

Because any normal straight dude would want to be groomed by an older hottie while he's a kid. You may be in the closet so you wouldnt get it

stop watching porn and be trad

go back

This but unironically

it legitimately isn't the same when it's two females

It's just how she lied saying it was weird when for a whole year it wasn't weird til people told her it was weird and she just went along with it.

Its not grooming because its hot.

because there's no such thing as female pedophile, the kid is a chad xD
meanwhile the other way means the man is a monster.

there's no such thing as female pedophile

Episode 2 is peak Padme

Women are just extremely susceptible to the whims of the collective. If a significant number of friends or family say it’s weird, she’ll believe it. At that point, logic and her past feelings don’t enter the equation anymore. It’s like someone triggered a hard reset in her brain.
The weirdest thing is that she’s still getting grounded at 19 years old.
But anyway, hopefully you had your fun, because it’s not worth trying to change her mind at this point.

Because they don’t really care about right or wrong, they just like dogpiling and virtue signaling.
Everyone agrees that child molestation is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, so of course they’ll be eager to dogpile a pedo. But the urge to get more dopamine, and virtue signal even harder, makes them conflate normal sexual relationships with pedophilia as often as they can. This not only gives them more targets to attack, but makes them feel extra moral about attacking someone who didn’t actually do anything wrong.

Because Anon Babble is based and pure, anything else is disgusting evil shit.

prime portman required big goyim you know what

How this came to be a thing with them, I have no idea

theyre terminally online and were likely heavily influenced by the metoo shit and cancel culture in general

hanging out with your smoking hot coworker for an entire year straight and you still didn't fuck her brains out

she probably wanted to stop hanging out with you because she thinks youre gay.
