Wouldnt it have been great if Padme was still alive when he is in the suit?

Vader that is.. Imagine him in the suit, after the fight with Obi Wan, coming seek out Padme secretly, trying to convince he is Anakin, and she is ofcourse scared of him as she doesn't recognize him anymore. Maybe her ship crashes somewhere after Vader desperately tries to pursuit her, and the babies are saved somehow.

That would have been really tragic and more convincing then Anakin all of a sudden choking the one he did it all for like in ROTS, in a way that he really feels betrayed and has no reason to feel sad for her anymore and becomes this bitter heartless machine, blending in with his robotic outfit. By the time of ROTJ he ofcourse realizes he had to thank it all to himself.

 

No, simply no...

BUT

But it would be nice to have Padme mentionned in the OT beside when Leia talks crypticly about her. Just to remember that something was lost there...anyway...

 

I think the point was that both Anakin and Padme's lives ended at about the same time.

Plus, your way we wouldn't get the amazing scene where both the twins and Vader are born.

 

No, terrible idea. There's a strong birth/death metaphor going on here. And the very reason Vader can fully embrace the dark side is because Padme is dead and he has nothing left.

 

He already blames himself for her death, because he had choked her and broke her heart. Besides, it's all the more bittersweet that she doesn't see him as the monster. But sees the good man that he was right before he attacked her.

 

Thats just too dramatic in my opinon. I mean, vaders a stern sith lord after the suit. He and padme trying to talk would be awkward, he would be angry and evil sounding while she'd be crying and calling him Ani and stuff.

I just don't see where that could possibly fit.

 

I don't really think so. Vader being responsible for Padme's death gives him a reason to try and bury Anakin. It's a big part of why he is completely (until the end of the Saga that is) Darth Vader and why he ubruptly cuts Luke off and says that the name Anakin has no meaning for him. He doesn't want to remember who he was. He not only betrayed his friends, but killed the one person he loved more than anything. That is much more painful than loosing a loved one to an accident.

We also get to see her at the end still claiming that there is still good in him.

 

I think the current death of Padme was fine.

 

Padme: Who the hell are you?

Vader: It's me, Anakin!

Padme: For God's sake! When I suggested we spice things up a bit with a mask and a cape I was think more along the lines of Zorro!

 

lol

 

Great idea.

Vader would stalk her only to be PWNED by a female who has no interest in a guy with no appropriate tools.

 

Of course after he's rejected by Padme there'd still be room for the horrible
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Reminds me of the sort of thing TWD would have write.

Anyway, I completely agree with most people here. To do it as suggested by the author would have been way too over the top and not only that would have destroyed the visual poetry and beauty of the the birth/death/death/rebirth sequence.

 

well, i agree it could be silly, but somehow it played as a great nightmarish scene in my mind. In a darkened room on Naboo. Vader in agony asking Padme for forgiveness for his deeds and to remain his wife, trying to get to her. Padme is ofcourse in great fear of this robotic murderer. Vader then gets angry cause all he has done and sacrificed just for her, was for nothing. He wants to see the kid, but she refuses to tell him the location. He then unleashes a great tantrum, tearing the place up.

 

I think it would greatly harm the character of Darth Vader to have him begging her, and it would lose the effect that the Dark Side has on your mind, whereas the current film shows just how much the Dark Side twists you, even being able to make you kill the very person you turned to protect.

 

If Padme were still alive during the OT, there would be no reason to have Luke because Padme could redeem Vader on her own. Who better than your wife to convince you that for 20 years you have been an arrogant dark side jerk?
