I have to admit that seeing this scene examined in such detail reminds me of how, right after seeing Attack of the Clones, I supposed there'd be no scenes with Anakin and Padme together in Episode III, because the Return of the Jedi novelization had mentioned "Anakin hadn't known his wife was pregnant when they parted for the last time"... While I'm unfortunately convinced others had that same supposition with mixtures of relief and glee, I do want to insist it seems to have been rather more casual for me. (And that's with another bit of the old novelization, namely Owen Lars being "Obi-Wan's brother," already inoperative...)
