10 More Crazy Star Wars Theories That Might Not Be Quite So Crazy
1. Padmé & Obi-Wan Were Having An Affair
While we're on the "Obi-Wan is a horndog" train of thought, what about the possibility that Obi-Wan and Padmé were having an affair?
If it might sound a bit too Jerry Springer for Star Wars, consider how Anakin flies into a jealous rage numerous times when he encounters Obi-Wan in Padmé's midst, which can't really be pawned off as purely Anakin's descent to the Dark Side poisoning his mind.
Hell, one fan theory posits that not only were the duo having an affair behind Anakin's back, but that there was even originally a subplot about this which George Lucas cut from the shooting script.
We do know that an earlier draft of Revenge of the Sith's script included dialogue where Palpatine stirs the pot by suggesting that Obi-Wan's mind has become "fogged by the influence of a certain female Senator," but a full-blown affair? We don't know for certain.
It absolutely would've made Anakin's turn to the Dark Side a touch more convincing and tragic, anyway.
