Anakin and Padmé's relationship bears strong parallels to that of Yuri and Lara in Il dottor Zivago (1965). Both pairs of lovers have conflicting relationships: Yuri and Lara are both married to other people, while Anakin and Padmé have their service careers. They both travel together as refugees. The male in both couples was separated from his mother at a young age, and must bury her on screen. The script identifies Padmé's lake country retreat as Varikyno, also the name of the retreat in Zhivago. Both take place during the lead-up to a war, and a major character (Pasha/Strelnikov and Dooku/Tyranus) who has betrayed his principles. While Pasha was Lara's husband, Dooku was once a Jedi like Anakin. These similarities are also echoes on the design of the film's theatrical poster, with Anakin and Padmé copying the poses of Yuri and Lara. There are two other connections regarding the casting. In the 1965 version of Doctor Zhivago, Yuri and Lara have a daughter, to whom Yuri's brother Andreyevich relates the story of her parents' relationship. Anakin and Padmé have both a son and daughter; Luke and Leia. Luke learns what he knows about his father and the Clone War from Obi-Wan Kenobi who, like Andreyevich, is played by Alec Guinness. In the 2002 remake Zivago (2002), Lara is played by Keira Knightley.
