PT Did Palpatine kill Padme?

Exactly. I've met quite a few young women who have been pregnant and who agree with this.

 

it's also a myth. mythology has people die this way.

 

Anakin had visions of being freed by Qui Gon.....it happened
Anakin had visions of his mother suffering and dying.....it happened
Anakin had visions of his wife dying during child birth....it happened
Padme was just destined to die during child birth. She wanted to remain active during the Clone War when she should have taken maternity leave on Naboo. Her body was over stressed.

 

no. anakin had visions of padme dying and by trying to stop it he caused it himself. the future is always in motion. visions of the future aren't always what happens.

 

Yes this. Having the once strong character of Padme become the shrinking violet she became in ROTS was the only disappointment I had in the film. Giving up the will to live was lame. Having her husband turn to the dark side should have inspired her fighting instinct and help form the rebellion. Look how diff she was from ep 2 to ep 3. Waste of a strong female character...

 

I've often wondered the same thing myself. Palpatine was such a manipulator that I wouldn't shock me if he purposefully caused Anakin to dream those things to make a situation occur in which Padme would die. If he pulled so many strings to bring the galaxy under his control and wipe out the Jedi, would it be that hard to swallow that he manipulated Anakin into falling to the Dark Side?

 

If Palpatine 'NEVER GAVE A FORCE!' about anyone or anything and also in the EU he MURDERED HOUSE PALPATINE at just 17 years old via Darth Plagueis's goading and being remarked as having the bloodlust of a serial killer ...

 

I thought the smile by Palpy was because he finally has Anakin under his control, the Jedi are destroyed and his plan is now complete.

 

How can Palpatine have killed Padme and not know that she was pregnant or she had given birth to Force sensitive children? Even Obi-Wan could sense that upon being in person.

 

Oh I'm sure Palpatine knew she was pregnant.

He did say, "And you'll be able to save your wife from certain death."

I imagine their unborn child was a backup should something happen to Anakin/Vader.

Also I have a theory of sorts that Palpatine knew/suspected the child lived, but decided to let Obi-Wan and Yoda train and raise the child. Kind of like how Palpatine let Obi-Wan and the Jedi raise/train Anakin. One, Palpatine didn't have time to take on second apprentice with his new Empire and then Vader. Two, keeping their offspring away would ensure that Anakin wouldn't get awoken and Vader would continue to grow strong in the Dark Side.

 

Padmé dies to hide Luke and Leia.

 

Palpatine did not kill Padmé...Despite him orchestrating the events that led to her death, she is the one that decided to die-she basically committed passive suicide.

 

wut?

 

The medical droid suppose that "Padme lost the will to live" after it failed to find a scientific explanation, but a droid cannot understand the will to live. Palpatine and Vader think babies died, then they will not search them. This could be probably one of the causes of her choice, i think.
However, someone should have used the Force (who? did she used the Force through Vader?), because she had not medical problems.

 

she wasn't choosing to die for a specific reason. her heart was broken.

 

Vader knew that Padme was pregnant, in fact before the funeral ceremony her body is altered to appear still pregnant.

 

Why look at it that way? Sometimes pregnancy is very taxing on a woman's body. It has nothing to do with her being weak. Many women that carry twins actually end up needing bed rest during they last part of their pregnancy. I actually know a women that carried twins and had to stay in bed. And I assure you that woman is not even close to being a weak human being. And with that said, I don't like that Padme died of losing the will to live. She should've died from complications caused by her being Force chocked or simply from complications from pregnancy. Either would've been better.

 

I know. That's why I said sometimes. Being pregnant with twins ups the chances of having problems. Anyway, regardless of what the droid says, believing Padme was having complications due to a rough pregnancy makes her death less irritating. A rough pregnancy combined with being Force chocked makes it much more believable. That's why I look at it that way. Never been a fan, in any story, of people dying from a broken heart.

 

How did he know about Anakin's visions? Yoda didn't seem to know exactly who Anakin was thinking about?

 

Yoda probably thought he meant Obi-Wan.

 

This:

Luke : "Leia! Do you remember your Mother? Your REAL Mother?"
Leia : " Just a little bit. She died when I was very young."
Luke : " What do you remember?"
Leia: " Just images,really. Feelings."
Luke : " Tell me."
Leia : " She was very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me this?"
Luke : " I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her."


...okay, the fact that Luke asks Leia about her "Real" mother, and she doesn't ask/imply "What do you mean?" makes me believe that Luke and Leia both know she was adopted by the Organa's. Hell, maybe it's common knowledge in the Galaxy, I don't know. But the fact that she "remembers" her, but Luke doesn't, even though they had close to the same amount of time with her, and the theories of Leia "sensing her through the Force" as a baby that somehow became imprinted on her ( a theory I heard years ago) is, to me, kinda hard to justify, considering Luke was not only stronger in the Force, but also was right next to Padme when she died, and was briefly even touched by her. Yet he doesn't remember anything.

Lucas wrote himself into a corner by killing Padme, yet this conversation still existed between the twins. Would've been better if a heartbroken Padme lived, and raised Leia briefly in the House of Organa on Alderaan. Then, upon seeing and hearing all the evils Darth Vader was committing, she finally gives up, broken in spirit and heart, but knowing her daughter would be raised and loved by her old friend Bail.
