I can't help unles you've seen them all. It's ... complicated. Like, I couldn't imagine writing Spike/Xander without having first watched BtVS.

Needless to say, Episode II was not much more than a love story, sort of filler giving necessary information. Anikin and Padama weren't supposed to fall in love. Being a Jedi meant not having that type of connection because Padama would become too important to Ani and therefore take his focus away from the force ... which could only lead to the Dark Side.

You seriously need to watch them all. =) The Ewoks will explain it all ... lol
