LOVED the video embed! A new litmus test for my script's characters, make sure their primal characteristic isn't 'monotone.' :D

"You’re a funny little boy. How do you know so much?" that just sounded like a terrible transition into the line to get anakin to talk about his backstory

So lets see, we learn that Anakin think's she's pretty, and his terrible backstory. In the least creative way they could have conveyed those points... With almost "porn flick" level dialog.

@Timothy, you are more right than you might realize. The embedded video is part of Mike Stoklasa's "Plinkett Reviews" of the Star Wars prequels (and several other movies). They are absolute must-watches for writers because, mixed in amid a lot of gallows humor, Stoklasa exposes the real problems from script to screen that doomed Episodes I through III. And on the Episode III review, Stoklasa absolutely crucifies Lucas by proving that the film was shot soap-opera style for economy and comfort, not cinematically for conveyance and effect.

Goddamn you, KASDAN!
