Why we collected this quote
The timing on Padmé’s correction is perfect – flustered, slightly too insistent, and completely unconvincing. We find this scene endearing because her sister Sola sees the whole situation with total clarity in about ten seconds, while Padmé is still trying to convince herself.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Anakin has come to Naboo with Padmé for security reasons, and they’ve ended up at her family home for dinner. Her sister Sola – cheerfully oblivious to the idea of tact – immediately announces to Anakin that he’s the first “boyfriend” Padmé has ever brought home. Padmé’s quick denial is technically accurate and emotionally useless.
