We all know the story of Anakin and Padme. I think of this story as similar to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. They were the star-crossed lovers of the GFFA. Let me explain.
Anakin met Padme on Tatooine when he was nine and she fourteen. Even at that age, he was taken by her beauty. She was all Ani could think about for ten years. Similarly, Romeo met Juliet at a party at her house, and was also taken by her beauty. For days she was all Romeo could think about. Sound familiar?
Anakin professed his love for her while on Naboo. He was supposed to be protecting her from assassination, but his feelings were getting in the way of his assignment. She professed her love to him on Geonosis just before the execution ceremony. They both felt at that point that they were meant to be together. Romeo and Juliet professed their love to each other outside her room, she being on the balcony; he in the courtyard below. They, too, felt they were meant to be together.
Anakin and Padme were married in secret on Naboo by a member of the clergy. Romeo and Juliet were also married in secret by a member of the town's clergy. The only difference was Ani and Padme had witnesses- Artoo and Threepio, where Romeo and Juliet had no witnesses.
Anakin and Padme's love story came to a tragic end when Padme realized the man she loved no longer existed. But she died still believing in that man. Anakin (for he was Anakin at this point) died when he realized he still loved her, even after all those years. Romeo died because he really believed Juliet to be dead (she was actually in a very deep sleep). Juliet died when she realized Romeo actually was dead.
I find that there are probably more similarities about both stories, but can't think of what they are. If anyone can come up with more, please fill in the gaps. They were both very tragic stories, indeed.

I would like to give credit to Qui-tomservolovespadme, viagoangel (love the fan-fic!!), and anybody else who has written on the subject of Anakin and Padme (I can't remember you all! .Thanks. Replies welcome.
