Because I grew up with them but I actually do hooe that they either remake them or make other star wars films that dont connect to the actual prequel main story but take place in that time period. The style they are using now is amazing.
Well yeah, Attack of the Clones starts with Anakin obsessing over someone who he hasn't seen in 10 years... meanwhile he has been training as a Jedi for the last 10 years on CORUSCANT.
Yes, that Coruscant. The city-planet that has 1 Trillion for its population.
The amount of appealing and good looking females, from Anakin's perspective, would have been overwhelming--there would be absolutely NO reason for him to obsess over someone he last saw through an 8 year olds eyes during the events of the Phantom Menace.
It's disturbing and extremely awkward, and doesn't really fit in the Star Wars universe.
That's true. The Star Wars Saga is actually a Romance. - as in the Shakespearean genre, not referring to a "love story."
The Conventions of Shakespeare's Romances
Some of the characteristics of SHAKESPEAREAN ROMANCE include:
*an enveloping conflict (war, rebellion, jealousy, treachery, intrigue) that may cover a large timespan (conflict begun a generation or more before the events of the play) and is resolved at the end of the play *happy endings to potentially tragic situations (e.g. apparent resurrection, sudden conversions, etc.); *improbable plots; rapid action; surprises; extraordinary occurrences (shipwrecks; disguises; riddles; children/parents lost and found; supernatural events/beings) *characters of high social class; rural and court settings; extremes of characterization (exalted virtue and deep villainy) *love of a virtuous hero and heroine; "pure" and "gross" loves often contrasted
