This isn’t a documentary. There isn’t stuff happening behind the scenes that we aren’t being shown. This is a story being told and, unwittingly or not, that is the behavior being portrayed.
This is a fictional universe with comic books, video games, TV shows and books constantly being released to re-contextualize the narrative large and small. There’s no-way the intention was to have Padme manipulate Anakin. You’re right though, that is what’s portrayed.
Ret-conning is a thing, of course, and I’m not saying they meant to show Padme grooming him, but if those ambiguities are there, it’s either intentional or bad writing.
I think that the appropriate word is groomed.
Anakin was 19 and Padme was 24 when they started getting into the real stuff
I think they mean that she groomed him.
Nothing happened between them until he was 19 and she was 24.
I don’t think you understand what grooming is because what you said does not preclude it.
