This revelation serves as the film’s emotional climax and confirms the bond that will allow for Anakin’s downfall in the next film. It is at this point that Padmé finally admits to Anakin that she loves him despite resisting most of his advances throughout the film. The B section, however, appears in only a couple of places in the film, first, just before the gladiator-style arena fight. Notice, for example, how the scene with Obi-Wan and Anakin in the elevator just before meeting Padmé begins with a melody that clearly foreshadows the love theme (from 6:34-6:40) and sounds another that does the same in the middle of the scene (from 6:50-6:59):Īnother similar example occurs when Padmé is leaving the capital with Anakin for greater safety on Naboo. Like the emergence of the couple’s mutual feeling of love, however, this A section is at first rather hesitant to appear in its full form, instead entering in a number of embryonic states early in the film. Like other Star Wars themes, the A section is the one that acts as the love leitmotif, reinforcing such emotionally clear scenes as when Padmé offers sympathy to Anakin for his struggles with being a padawan, or Jedi-in-training, under his master, Obi-Wan, or when Anakin tells Padmé that she has not changed from the way he remembers her, or when the two kiss for the first time.
