Once again, I am in absolute tears over the prequels and they are so much funnier than anyone gives them credit for because LOOK AT THIS SCENE It’s after Anakin has been a real brat to Obi-Wan in front of Padme because he’s trying to impress her, despite that Obi-Wan also tried to cheer him up about how she didn’t seem to notice him. It’s after their speeder chase with Zam where Anakin goes from patiently asking her about her target to SNARLING SCREAM RAGE in .5 seconds because she’s not giving him the answers he wants about Padme. So, this scene is in the context of how Obi-Wan has had more than enough of Anakin being obsessive about Padme and now Anakin is being sent on this mission before Obi-Wan thinks he’s ready and when you look at it through that lens IT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE SEEN SINCE THE LAST SCENE IN THIS MOVIE. LOOK AT ALL THAT SPACE IN THE TRANSPORT. THERE IS ZERO REASON FOR OBI-WAN AND ANAKIN TO BE CRAMMED ONTO A SINGLE SEAT. WHAT KILLS ME THOUGH IS OBI-WAN AS SOON AS PADME STANDS UP TO WALK BY NOT ONLY IS HE ALREADY CRAMMED INTO ANAKIN’S PERSONAL SPACE BUT HE LEEEEEEEEANS OVER TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW BLOCKING ANAKIN’S VIEW OF PADME AS SHE WALKS BY AND THERE IS NOTHING OUTSIDE THAT WINDOW THAT IS OF INTEREST OBI-WAN IS LOOKING AT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING JUST TO BLOCK ANAKIN’S VIEW SO HE DOESN’T IMMEDIATELY START STARING AT PADME AGAIN AND YOU KNOW Y O U K N O W THAT’S WHY THEY’RE CRAMMED TOGETHER IN A SINGLE SEAT BECAUSE OBI-WAN TOOK ONE LOOK AT THAT HOT MESS OF A SITUATION AND WAS LIKE OH I AM NOT DEALING WITH THAT HEADACHE TODAY SO HE PARKS ANAKIN IN A FRONT SEAT AND SITS DOWN NEXT TO HIM FOR THE WHOLE TRAM RIDE AND AS SOON AS PAMDE IS IN ANAKIN’S VIEW, OBI-WAN LEANS OVER TO LOOK AT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SO ANAKIN CAN’T GET UP HE DOESN’T GET UP UNTIL PADME’S WELL PAST AND TALKING TO DORME AND THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO MOVE SO WHAT HAPPENS? ANAKIN IMMEDIATELY STARTS STARING AT PADME AND SMILING THAT SMILE WHILE PADME AND DORME HAVE AN EMOTIONAL CONVERSATION AND ANAKIN IS LITERALLY TURNING TO GO OVER TO THEM WHEN OBI-WAN PRACTICALLY HAS TO SNAP HIS FINGERS IN ANAKIN’S FACE TO GET HIM TO FOCUS AND PAY ATTENTION OVER HERE AND I AM WEEPING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT OBI-WAN HAS TO DEAL WITH, THIS IS WHAT OBI-WAN IS TRYING TO TRAIN INTO A JEDI, THIS IS WHY OBI-WAN HAS TO CORNER ANAKIN ON THE TRAM SO THEY CAN GET FIVE MINUTES OF ANAKIN NOT BEING A DRAMATIC MOONING TEENAGERS. THIS IS WHY OBI-WAN IS A SAINT TO PUT UP WITH ANAKIN SKYWALKER’S 19 YEAR OLD IDIOCY.
