Not sure we ever fully understand the full extent of what the force does when it comes to enticing/manipulating others. Forcing your will onto another is the principle of a Jedi mind trick and nearly all Jedi can do it. Someone as strong with the force as Anakin could have been slowly manipulating her without ever really comprehending he did so. His subconscious wanted her as we know.
It may be one of the reasons why they aren’t supposed to have serious ongoing romantic relationships.

Such abilities would be dangerous not only in romance relationships, but in any. And yet we see Jedi around all these Senators too. Maybe the Sith were onto something.

The sith seek the rule of 2 and forever holding power for themselves, the Jedi supposedely try to take a role where they do not rule, but provide protection and guidance for the galactic Republic. Both clearly a slippery slope. But yeah you get situations like Darth Bane jumping onto a rancor forcing his will onto it, enslaving it to do his bidding and riding it through a dense forest before just tossing it aside like a worthless tool when it is no longer of use to him. The idea that they wouldn’t do the same to a person who can’t protect themselves is pretty likely. We see them convince people to shoot others… I’m sure morals/ethics are out the window at that point

Someone who is so passively influential would be great as mediators for things like trade disputes and hostile negotiations.

There were also Jedi/Sith that would essentially meditate and influence the moral off the armies, giving them confidence, limiting their fears.
Those guys would be great friends hostile negotiations as well haha.

I'm not up on Naboo politics, guess she had a good speech writer. She was the youngest ever elected (was her successor younger still?) Maybe it's the idea that the kids have a better idea of where things need to go than the adults.

Waves hand. “You will slobber my knob.”
Padme:“I will slobber your knob.”
The dark side is strong with this one.

Pro: Not yet made cynical by real-world politics, thus motivated by idealism when making laws.
Con: Won’t put down their phone long enough to attend cabinet meetings.
This image is from revenge of the Sith, principal photography took place from June 30, 2003, to September 17, 2003.
Portman was born June 9th 1981, so I think that makes her 22.
I’m no expert on Star Wars but it looks like Episode 1 (filming started in june 1997)

I think your right. That world make her 16.
And again, the internet is sexualizing children.
Have you even heard of the movie Léon (1994)?
STOP! Someone’s going to write fanfiction about that!
That’s the beautify of the internet, someone already has.
oh god…a bunch of my friends and I got together and read some fanfiction of random shit we could find.
I weep for humanity. fucking christ there’s a lot of people out there who need help
Yeah the one about Dan and Phil and the hamster was fucked. It’s shit like that that makes me feel less shameful regarding my porn habits.
who?
Some British YouTubers that were popular a decade ago. Never cared for them.
oh…yeah, I think I’ve heard of them now that you say that
