Star Wars Question

I'm fine with the basic plot being that Anakin turns in order to save Padme. I don't like how it was done. It was too sudden. He goes from basically good Jedi to slaughtering a bunch of kids in like 2 minutes. I don't think the sand people scene in Ep2 really counts for much. Also didn't he think just maybe Padme isn't going to want anything to do with me after I turn against the Jedi and slaughter a bunch of kids.


This

I just never bought it

Anakin: I’m only doing this so I can save Padme

Emperor: I understand, now go murder all the Jedi children

Anakin: you got it

The Anakin/Padme romance has to be the least convincing love story I’ve ever seen in a movie

I don’t know if was the more the dialogue or the acting or the directing or all three but it was dreadful
