Padmé knew the circumstances of where Anakin had come from as well as where he was headed in their universe, perhaps in far more detail than the young man could've predicted since she had watched the movies and "cartoons" and read on the subject.

Part of her felt sorry for Jedi who would never experience anything different, to know better. "You should consider talking to Luke about it, but - I really do think it's okay to miss her."
