She will certainly appear pregnant in the film, even if she didn't appear so in the trailers. Even her action figure is knocked up.
I agree that showing up at Anakin's work was bad news bears from the start. How can she just surprise her baby daddy like that and not expect to get choked?

I refuse to believe a simple emotional breakdown ("broken heart") can physically kill a person.

Anakin and Padme barely saw each other because of their duties as a Jedi fighting a war and a senator. The combined time that they actually spent together during their marriage probably wouldn't be more than a couple of days. And yet she dies because she is broken hearted that he dumps her. I would think that having two newborn kids would give her more reason to live.

We've got some non-romantics here.
I understand why some people would think that this reason is bogus, but I'm a romantic at heart...soo...
I BELIEVE!
She loves him! It was something she probably idealized and fantasized about while he was gone.
Imagine being gone from someone you love but you can't tell anyone, even if you can tell a droid they don't really feel do they?, and now you're pregnant with his children. Everything should be OK, right?
Plus,we're dealing with the fact that Padme knows he burned the Jedi temple and might be in league with her enemy. She still feels there's good in him, but imagine finding out your husband killed a bunch of people.
I'm not totally happy she dies, believe me, of a broken heart and doesn't stick around for the kids but hey, this is all GL's idea, right?

Hey, just thinking for a second here...
If Palpatine knows that Padme and Anakin are married, and Ani gets mad at Padme for telling Obi-Wan...
if I were Padme, and I found that out, I'd hurt him. So Ani's a bit of a hypocrite, adding to the rest of his evilness.
Just an observation.

The facts are there people. Padme is slain. In the Hero's Fall music video, if you go frame by frame, when Anakin and Obi-Wan begin their duel, she is lying on the ground. She obviously tried to stop them from fighting and Anakin accidentally killed her, which drove him over the edge and caused him to blame Obi-Wan and exact his rage on him. If this film is as "Shakespearen" as it is billed to be, Anakin must be directly responsible for her death. Face the facts people, he kills her. And I wouldn't want it any other way; it's the perfect ending.

The reason Padme's broken heart death is unrealistic is the past two movies have built her up a strong woman. Then in the last 20 minutes of the last movie that strength just suddenly disappears and she dies because she is sad.

If Obi-Wan didn't walk out of her ship, would the end result have been the same. Would have choked her for disagreeing with him? Would he have let her leave?

That’s a good question, Grover. I think it might’ve bought her more time to reason with Anakin and it might’ve worked. But, on the other hand, the result could very well have been the same. I think that Anakin would become very frustrated with Padmè because she can’t see why Anakin did all this, that it was for her and their child. She’d still not go along with his plans for ruling the galaxy and he might end up choking her until she’s dead because of that.
But if it wasn’t for Obi-Wan both the twins and Padmè would’ve died on Mustafar.

I posted this in the Obi-Wan thread but I thought I'd repeat it here because I think the ideas are strong possibilities for people to consider. Anyway, I really don't like the "she died of a broken heart" thing that at first glance seems to have happened and I've thought of a few alternate reasons for why she died:
1) she and Anakin were linked in such a way that when he was being operated on (at the same time she was said to have been dying) her life force was being used to keep him alive. This is kind of foreshadowed by Anakin's "I can't live without her" comment.
2) Palpatine seems to know of her death very quickly. Perhaps Palpatine was able to reach out with the force somehow and in her weakened state take her life or use her lifeforce to bring Anakin back.
3) Padme realized that if she lived Anakin would hunt her and the children down to the end of the universe. If she died however, and Anakin thought the children died with her, then her children would have a chance to be safe from Darth Vader and the Emperor. In this scenario, she has not lost the will to live as much as willed herself to die as a way to protect her children.
All stretches perhaps but not much more than "she dies of a broken heart" What do you all think?
