          I still prefer the fan-canon that padme knew what she was doing because trying to emotionally connect and correct the upcoming angry sithy jedi was the only plan the council could come up with. Her (stated/acted on) feelings toward him were all a lie.

              everyone else presumably had time to be indoctrinated. Jedi start training as infants, taught to temper their emotions and such.

              There are probably people who care about the idea enough to have it polished, but I’m not one of them, sorry. I think it was a weird fusion of the idea that the council must have known he was already ‘too old,’ that he was potentially the most dangerous being in the galaxy, that he trusted padme, and that he was clearly emotionally fragile. It’s not like anyone could have missed the moon eyes he was making towards her at all times, so something like they were trying to make the best of a bad situation, where if she had rejected him outright he was going to go all moody teenager but with a lightsaber instead of a guitar and badly written rhymes.

              It just so happens that ‘whoops!’ It happened because of what they did rather than in spite of it.

              I’m not very much into the start wars theories, but are they really against passion and romantic bonding in general?
              I thought, that’s only for their active members, so they can’t be compromised that easily

    They’re never gonna put down a slave rebellion while wearing stilettos. Remember to dress practically if you’re going to potentially be involved in close combat.

    I know it’s a shit post, but this depicts an Interesting thought…wouldn’t you want to be wearing loose clothing (shorts, skirts etc) instead of skin tight leather in the blistering heat?!

    No thanks, I really don’t like to get whipped, regardless of who holds it or to be the one doing the whipping. Neither would i like to be surrounded with so much sexual innuendo on a daily basis.
    That stuff is always bordering a chore sometimes, no need to make it an actual hard labor.

    The difference of being a slave to an ugly fat dude, to being a slave to some dominatrix is different than what your horny mind might’ve envisioned.

    For the eyes, the dominatrix surely is a superior treat. No doubt. But I’d prefer the nasty douche, as he maybe is too lazy to whip me, while the lady gets off of it.

    Considering being a slave, means a lifetime commitment, I’d choose the less-whippings-route. Guess my libido would get flatlined of the hot ladies after two weeks of work and whipping anyway.
