Why this must be read:
One of the things the character of Padmé Amidala has been criticized for, and not unreasonably so, is her glossing over Anakin's slaughter of the Tusken Raiders with a "to be angry is to be human." This missing-scene fic presents a slightly different interpretation and shows Padmé not only accepting, but actively justifying the mass murder to a depressed Anakin after the battle of Geonosis. She would actually have a pretty good argument too, if it weren't for the fact that he killed the innocent along with the guilty: it led me to consider certain points of view I hadn't thought of before, even while demonstrating how easily intelligent people can deceive themselves. A story that vaguely resembles hurt/comfort on the surface, but with dark undertones of the tragedy to come.
