George Lucas has stated many times that he feels the Prequels are more than just the story of Anakin Skywalker and his fall, but also a true love story, albeit a tainted one. Let’s explore this tainted love story a little more closely through some deleted material.

To Kill a Senator – Part One
Five minutes into Attack of the Clones, one thing is perfectly clear. Someone is trying to kill Senator Amidala. Two major attempts to assassinate her are made early in the film. The first takes place on a Coruscant landing platform.
The Naboo Lake Country
When her life is threatened, Senator Amidala feels it’s wrong to turn around and hide, but reluctantly agrees to do it at the urging of the Queen of Naboo and others. Anakin Skywalker, her Jedi bodyguard, accompanies her to the Lake Country Retreat, a place of the Senator’s choosing. It is there that a dangerous and forbidden love will take root.
