A better thing to note is the lack of consitency in Padme's character.
Here is a woman who tells Anakin in Ep. I that she hates violence. She seems to have a very high standard of justice and good. Yet she practically overlooks the fact that this guy she is going to marry murdered a bunch of innocent Sandpeople children and families. Padme practically tells the guy that it is alright and that everything is okay, as if all Anakin did was come home drunk late one evening{which has now become a punishable by death crime in my household these days

I mean seriously to those women on this forum, f your boyfriend told you that he just murdered a bunch of hispanic women and children because his mother got killed by a hispanic, what would your response be? Would you go ahead and marry this guy? Or would you be running as far away from this psycho as you possible could? I mean is Padme that desperate to get laid? I mean she should have no trouble getting some, considering her position and looks. Besides if she did have a problem 'getting some" I am sure with all the technological advances in the Star Wars universe, there are PLENTY of alternatives available. I'll leave that up to everyone's imagination.

The inconsistency in Amaidala's behavior is such a prime examle of the horrible writing and character development in the PTs.
Character development- Probably the biggest difference between the old trilogy and the new.
