Anakin: Are you an angel?
Padme: What?
Anakin: An angel. I’ve heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of Iego. They’re the most beautiful creatures in the universe.
Padme: You’re a funny little boy. How do you know so much?
WHAT OTHERS SAID:
“…Most of the dialogue sounds like silent movie intertitles (“The death toll is catastrophic—we must bow to their wishes”). The rest, mainly intoned by Neeson, seems to have been found in a fortune cookie. “Our meeting was not a coincidence—nothing happens by accident,” he explains to his little protégé. Representative of the Force, Neeson is the resident sage: “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering”—which presumably promotes fear.”
