Padme's feelings about Anakin's female padawan apprentice

I would love to see this in the Clone Wars animated movie. See what Padme thinks about Anakin partnering up with a female padawan apprentice. Jealousy all the way.

Oh yeah I'll still get a kick out of seeing Jabba's baby boy being the comic relief in a way

 

That's a very good question, and I haven't thought of that. Though, I don't think that it will be much of a problem in the form of jealousy. I mean, she's a lot younger (at least 5 years) and of a different species. Also, Anakin is so deeply in love with Padmé, she won't have anything to worry about.

Btw, Ahsoka 's official thread.

 

Padme's 5 years older than Anakin.


No, I wouldn't expect Padme to be jealous. I suppose they could do something in regards to Ahsoka developing a strong attachment to Anakin (if not a crush), but I don't know if they'd take the show down such a road or not.

 

If Padme were to get jealous of a non-human 14 year old padawan, then I'd hate her even more than I already do. Thank goodness Padme is regulated to the background where she belongs....

 

Anakin seems to be jealous enough for the both of them. I can't imagine that Padme would develop any sort of jealousy toward Ahsoka, but you never know... She never really showed any signs of distrusting Anakin in the prequels, to establish her as the jealous type in TCW, it would just seem so out of place.

 

I think it would be OOC as well for Padme to be jealous. She seems to trust Anakin, and more or less, lets things go. He's the one who's obsessed to the scary levels. I actaully think Padme would think Ahsoka was good for him, and could be a learning experience. Anakin is the hot-head, not Padme.

 

Agreed, plus if Padme is jealous that Anakin's around a 14 year old she has bigger problems.

 

Wouldn't they have a very different sort of relationship? I imagine that if Anakin saw through Ahsoka's training to the end (and we know he doesn't) I imagine she would look on Anakin as a father figure

 

yep, or at least a big brother..

 

One thing I like about introducing Ahsoka is that we see what sort of "Dad" Anakin may have been to Luke and Leia. I imagine Padme would be forever telling him (jokingly) he's a bad influence

 

Wait... If Anakin was Ahsoka's "Daddy Figure". Wouldn't that make Obi Wan - Ahsoka's Grandfather?

 

Yeah I know, but the difference between a 19 year old and a 24 year old is A LOT different than the age difference between a 19 year old and a 14 year old. Add to that that Ahsoka is not even human...makes it hard to believe.

And you bring up an excellent point Katana_Geldar! I never really thought of it like that.

 

I think he would prefer the term, "eccentric uncle"

 

I was just joking.

But, to be difficult...

Kit Fisto had a relationship with Aayla that bordered inappropriate, and a H'nemthe in ANH had a relationship with a Gotal (before killing him). So, interspecies relationships do exist.

And Padme was "dying a little each day" ever since Anakin "came back into her life." Her previous memories of the lad were when he was 9 and her 14.

/being difficult

The ONLY difficulty I could see Ahsoka possibily posing to Padme is the possibility of Anakin risking the secrecy of their (Padme's and Anakin's) relationship by telling Ahsoka either intentionally or unintentionally. Anakin had expressed desire to cease living in secrecy in the films, if Ahsoka and Anakin truly formed a trusting relationship, then perhaps he might trust her enough to either tell her, or perhaps she's simply a clever enough girl to figure it out herself.

For all I know, Ahsoka finds out and Anakin disowns her as his padawan in order to protect his secret at the end of TCW, undermining his maturity just in time for ROTS. I simply don't know (though I hope they do something less obvious than killing her off).

But regardless, I CAN'T see Padme ever being jealous of Ahsoka, or any sort of romantic tension developing between Ahsoka and Anakin.

 

Anakin DID tell Nejaa Halcyon about Padme, but then Halcyon was married as well and had a kid (Valin Halcyon, Corran Horn's Dad).

I can't see Anakin intentionally telling Ahsoka, but perhaps she finds out anyway. Judging from what I've seenm, they spend some time alone together on Tatooine with Artoo

 

I think they are going to establish right away a big brother/little sister relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka.

 

What I am about to post is a serious spoiler for The Clone Wars film, so don't read the highlighted text if you want to be surprised.

I was checking out the kiddie novelisation at Borders yesterday, and it seems to be taken nearly word from word from the movie script. So when I say this is from the book, chances are it is in the film as well, and therefore a spoiler. I know this because the first chapter is exactly the 3 minute preview we saw from the Battle of Chistophsis (Sp?). All the dialouge was identical, with nothing added in.

So, anyway...

At the end of the story, Padme appears as a hologram to Jabba the Hutt to discuss his agreement with the Republic. Anakin is present, and she thanks him for his work in rescuing Jabba's son. They exchange a meaningful glance, and Ahsoka catches on that there is definitely something going on between the two of them.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ahsoka knowing about Anakin's secret marriage is going to be a major plot line in the series.

 

We all know Anakin is not a very convincing liar

 

Talk about jealousy.

 

I was just thinking about this looking at that awful tv spot. I honestly think Ahsoka will develop a crush on Anakin, and that might be the reason she's not around in ROTS.


That would only increase Anakin's ego, too.

 

I hadn't thought about that, but I can that its a definite possibility. I mean after all, he is a bit older than her and he is the chosen one. What teenage girl wouldn't have a crush on a "superstar" such as Anakin?

 

I can't agree more. The less I see of Padme the better. At first I liked the idea of Ahsoka, but the more I see her, the more annoying she seems. Any type of plot point that puts those two together will kill my buzz.

 

TaradosGon makes an interesting point - what if Ahsoka finds out about Anakin and Padme, and then gets shipped off to the front lines so she can't reveal the secret? That would be awesome, dark, and unexpected. Therefore it won't happen.

Another possible angle is that Anakin seeks advice from either Padme, Ahsoka, or both, on how to deal with the other. This is going to be the most time Anakin's ever spent with a woman, and he might have a hard time communicating with her or understanding her. Or maybe that's just my life.

 

...Err... No...?

Of course Anakin's not going to send her off to die. But I would suspect that they have a falling out, given that she's not around in ROTS but Anakin doesn't seem to care.

Filoni has stated that the idea is that Anakin has this apprentice and that once he learns to let her go, he will become a Master. As of ROTS, he is not a Master. Thus, he must not have learned to let go. While, at the same time, he does not once mention Ahsoka. So, if he doesn't mention her, it implies he managed to get over the fact that something happens to her, but that can't be the case because then he would be a master. Something has to happen such that he doesn't seem too hung up on the fact she's not around anymore, but also takes into consideration that Anakin does not become a master.

_Sublime_Skywalker_'s idea is also an idea that's thinking outside of the box (the general impression that she dies), and I wouldn't mind it if that happened either. I think Ahsoka is in someway going to be made out to be a poor student, and I don't think Anakin is going to stand up for her, given that he doesn't seem to care by ROTS. Perhaps she's a liability because she learns Anakin's secrets, and could shatter his image; perhaps her attachment to Anakin grows too strong and he wants to separate himself from her so that she doesn't put him at risk, any of things are acceptable ideas in my mind. That she simply gets killed by separatists and Anakin doesn't seem to mind (and yet doesn't achieve the rank of Master), that is simply a bad idea.

I don't think any of these things will happen right away (and definitely not in the film), but if the film is to have a 100 episode run, with some "darker" episodes included, I think by the end Ahsoka and Anakin might be at odds with one another.

It says in the databank that Yoda is worried that perhaps Ahsoka might develope Anakin's behavior, rather than teaching Anakin about attachments. So, I figure the nature of their relationship may get called into question from time to time forcing Anakin to defend his actions. If Ahsoka gives Anakin any reason to do so, Anakin could take the council's side and abandon Ahsoka.

 

I think Ahsoka is in someway going to be made out to be a poor student, and I don't think Anakin is going to stand up for her, given that he doesn't seem to care by ROTS.

From what I've seen of Ahsoka so far in the trailers, I don't think that is the case. According to the Force Cast they give each other nicknames "Snopes" and "Skyguy" IIRC. There's also the way Anakin says her name in one of the TV spots, reminiscent of how he yells "Padme!" when she falls out of the gunship in AOTC, I knew then that Anakin DID care about her
