How did Padme know about the hangar?

Hi ,

How did Padme know that Ani and Obi were going to a hangar , when she and that clonetrooper fell from the ship?
Was it a paralel to Leia in ESB when she knew where Luke was?

Thanks ,

Where else would you go to find intergalatic transport?

 

Thanks , your right haha!

She followed her heart.

 

I posted this in another thread and thought I might repost it here. I think George is trying to show us that Padmé is Force sensitive:

That?s not the only scene in AOTC that suggests the Force is strong with Padmé. There is another, and it is the equivalent of the scene from TESB when we discover that Leia can use the Force. In the scene from Empire, Luke is dangling from a weather vane at the bottom of Cloud City and he calls out to Leia. Cut to Leia who hears him and says: ?We?ve got to go back. I know where Luke is.? This was the first real indicator from George that Leia is Force sensitive, so should it be a surprise that he introduces Padmé?s Force sensitivity in much the same way? In AOTC, after being fried by Dooku, we see a close-up of Anakin slowly regaining consciousness. Cut to Padmé who is herself waking up in the sand dune and she blurts out: ?We?ve got to get to that hangar.? She knows exactly where Anakin is even though she was separated from him long before he reached the hangar. It?s as if Anakin reaches out to Padmé to see if she is all right, and in doing so makes a connection with her. When she finally comes to she magically knows where Anakin is just like Leia knew where Luke was at Cloud City.

 

Hey, I had an interesting thought... maybe where Anakin gets injured by the lightning... I mean it shows Anakin in pain then it cuts to Padme lying there... yeah I think there is a definite connection.

 

This certainly is interesting. Hmmm, souds possible. I just assumed she looked and saw the hangar.

 

Great thread. I've thought about this so many times!

I like the idea of the 'Anakin in pain' connection.
Otherwise, she had no idea where they were going. They were to far away for her to see it.
intergalactic transport ? Why would she think anyone was leaving the planet? She just knows they're chasing Dooku, she doesnt know where they're chasing him to. Heck, noone knows that but Dooku!

Offense/Defense. Offense acts, defense reacts.

 

Here's another interesting point: When Anakin wants to put the gunship down to save Padme after she falls, Obi-Wan asks, "What do you think Padme would do were she in your position?" Anakin replies that she would do her duty, but in fact, her first thought was to help Anakin. Padme would not have done her duty, she would save the people she cares for.

 

Besides that, wasnt his original "duty" to protect Padme, anyway?



...ok, now Im just being argumentative

 

"Where else would you go to find intergalatic transport?"

let's see: a giant duct, a tunnel, a cave, a hidden crevace, a larger ship, an underground facility concealed from view, and other million places. Besides, she clearly says we have to get to THAT hangar", and not "a hangar" (which invalidates your rationale of naturally finding a ship in a hangar), which really makes no sense since OB1 and Ani travelled a great distance after she fell, not to mention that they went over several mountains, so there was no way for her to "see" that far away. BUT since it is fashionable to rationalize script loopholes with any kind of explanation, sure, she has the force, and GL can NEVER make a mistake in the script. (sarcastically)

 

This is one of Star Wars mistakes according to moviemistakes.com

 

I just assumed they saw it flying over the Geonosian surface before they found the steam vents.

 

I'm not one to take an interest in looking for mistakes in any SW movie. I find it pointless. However, while watching AOTC the other night, I noticed during this scene that the point where Padme falls out in a long ways from the hanger. Also, we see Dooku's speeder and the Clone transport make curves around rock corners on their journey to the hanger, so I've come to the conclusion that Padme could not have been able to see the hanger at all.

My ideas on the scene:

(1) An omage to the Leia scene in TESB. Padme is able to sense where Dooku is going, or can see the hanger in her mind

(2) Just a simple mistake in the story

(3) She assumed that Dooku was planning to escape the planet (why else would he stay?), and she assumed he would heading towards some type of hanger in order to leave

Either of those three theories works for me.

 

Maybe the answer will be in episode III?

 

How about she fell down next to a trooper who had a working com-link to report their postion to the forward command center. Which in turn reported back where the ship they were headed on went to on their scopes.

It's not that far-fetched. Maybe George will add it in for you in the archival editions. All you have to add is a voice over with troopers while Padme is recovering in the sand, just before the trooper goes to see her.

Or wait, if he does that, then people will complain that it is too long of a break between Obi-Wan and Dooku's fight, disrupting the flow of tension. My bad. You can't please everyone.

 

"Padme would not have done her duty, she would save the people she cares for. "

We don't know that. If she could stop a war I imagine she would do what she has to.

 

Anther thing with Padme's force use or so we think thing, originally when Yoda said "Seeing you alive, brings warm feelings to my heart" wasn't he soposed to said she was strong with the force or something? People then thought she really was "strong with the force" and her + Anakin were why Luke and Leia were so strong.

 

Um.....Padme WAS on the same ship that Obi Wan and Anakin were on....which was chasing Dooku to the hangar.

 

I agree with the people who are saying that Padme could be very force-sensetive. There have been a few times in both episode 1 and episode 2 that she knew things or seemed to sense things before other people did. In episode 1 during the podrace, she knew that Anakin was the next person coming when everyone was wondering where he was. She just looked over there and knew it was him. There is no way she could see from that far away that it was him, so I think she used the force and could tell. Also, in the Droid Factory, when they are just about to be attacked in the hallway with the geonosins on the walls, she stops walking before Anakin does and seems like she knows something is wrong before him. This could all be nothing and maybe Hayden and Natalie's timing was off at that part, but I like the idea of her being strong in the force, so that is the way I'm going to look at it.

 

I am going with the theory that this scene was an attemot to denote Padme-Amidala's Force abilities.

I agree that Anakin's feelings(pain)reached out to her and she sensed or saw a hangar in her thoughts and knew their was one.

I also think there were a couple of other instances that possibly point to her having some reasonable amount of Force ability.

One that I took notice of was Padme's desire to rescue Obi-Wan on Geonosis. Somehow she knew Obi-Wan was still alive when it all but appeared he had been killed when watching the holographic message.

The Jedi(Yoda and Mace)never said that they were going to Geonosis to save Obi-Wan, but rather to get to the bottom of what was happening there from Obi-Wan's report. Mace's face seemed to indicate that Obi-Wan was finished. But Amidala was confident Obi-Wan was alive.

The other instance was when they were chasing Dooku in the gunship and she says, "We're going to need some help", after Anakin says to follow Dooku.

Obi-Wan responds, "No, there isn't time, Anakin and I can handle this!"

So somehow Padme knew that they would need help in taking on Dooku, but Obi-Wan felt differently. It was if she could foresee the problem Dooku would be. Thank goodness Yoda had already sensed and foreseen this as well and had prepared his way to get there to the hangar.

So you see, I think there are some real cases that may indicate Padme's Force abilities, and I think this may come out more in EP III with a surprise to it.

By the way, she believed Dooku was behind the assassination attempts on her life when the Jedi felt otherwise.

Darth Sin!

 

I don't get it... before she fell, Padme already knew they were chasing Dooku to try to grab him before he fled on his ship.

Once she's "rescued" by the clonetrooper, all they have to do is use their scanners or whatever to look up where the Gunship with Anakin and Obi-Wan had taken them...

Makes sense to me...

 

Does anyone know anything about what i was talking about?

 

I dunno who here has read the Attack of the Clones book, but when Padme and Yoda are talking, Yoda says that the Force is strong in her or something like that. This part wasn't in the movie only the book.

 

She knew Anakin and Obi-Wan were chasing Dooku, and she must have assumed that he was headed towards his ship, which would have most likely been in a hangar. Where else would he have been going? I mean, the clones outnumbered the droid army and the only choice he had was to split. And he ain't getting off of Geonosis on a speeder. Padme is not Force-sensitive. Remember the line of the theatrical version of AOTC where Yoda tells Padme "The Force is strong with you,"? Well after audiences heard that, they started thinking, "Can Padme use the Force?", so GL decided to edit that out of the DVD version of the film. Look for it- you won't find it in there. And at the same time, remember that Leia was the daughter of the Chosen One. She could use the Force just as well as Luke could. Padme cannot.
