Some of us have been shipping since the beginning, others more recently. Whatever time we decided to board this particular ship, Obidala hooked us all! Too many sea metaphors?? Probably. Regardless! We'd like you to tell us . . . What was your Obidala "A-ha" moment??Was it a chemistry-filled exchange in the films? A particularly poignant fanfic?? Or something else entirely??? Inquiring minds want to know!! Feel free to discuss at length and keep it classy.  |

I think it was a combination of exploring the bonus features on ROTS dvd, and reading stories on fanfic.net I was getting tired of the Anidala stories, searching for something new, when an obidala story came up. I can't remember which one it was, possibly one of ticklesivory's stories. I went to do a search and found the forums, which led me to Rosalie's stories, along with the rest of the desktops, banners and videos.
To quote my other favourite fandom, 'I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.' (Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice)

If we think back far enough the seeds we planted in a little doctors office browsing through old magazines, when a photo slid past our gaze we argue over who saw it first and what photo is was This Or This We also argue who called dibsBut it wasn't really until the third film came out and we became interested in vidding, and we think a couple of ticklesivory's videos caught our eyes and we found it to be a whole different story inside star wars with so much more depth than the love story we had been given and up until that point had found satisfactory. |

There was a moment in Attack of Clones where Obi-Wan asks, "What would Padmé do if she were in your position?" and Anakin concedes, "She would do her duty." That got my mind thinking about how similar Obi-Wan and Padmé are in that respect and what would they do if Padmé swapped places with Anakin...I started writing a fic about it which I still haven't finished. Then I remember reading Quiller's "Secrets" fic which brought my imagination alive about Obidala.

I watched TPM and saw the chemistry between Obi-Wan/Padme and laughed as George tried to force a relationship between Anakin and Padme. Seems like it was screaming to all of us but George had earplugs in.

Yeah I had pretty much the same thing as Amelia xD The first time I watched TPM when I was 8, Obi/Pad's chemistry in that ONE scene just got me. Then their reunion in AOTC and the arena moment, you know what I'm talking about And their scenes in ROTS T_T I just don't know what GL was thinking -.- |

Yup. Agreeing with Amelia and Nat here. Also kinda taking from what Autumn and Colean said too. When I saw TPM (and the sexy, young Jedi Padawan) it occurred to me, being 14 at the time, that I was about the same age that Queen Amidala was supposed to be. It made sense to me that she, as I, would probably have a huge crush on him. That ONE scene, the way she looked at him, and the sparks flying between them, confirmed it for me. From that premise grew the idea that a love triangle in the trilogy to come would be totally dramatic and angst-filled (which is kinda my thing). This would be especially true because we all know how the story has to end. Anakin fathered Luke and Leia. I was pretty sure that this would be the direction George would go in, I even remember Entertainment Weekly doing a story where they theorized a love triangle in Episode 2 (been trying to hunt down that article for years). Of course, as we all know, George took a hard left turn. But we're still here! Still shipping after all these years. Just try and stop us! |

I'm just looking around the OFF to see where you could put it... I think maybe if you go into the Lover's Den board, just post it where the miscellaneous threads are towards the bottom. Because I can't really find a particular place to put it. But I'm so excited to hear it!!  |
