PT Is Padme Force sensitive?

In the novel of EP II Yoda said "With you, the Force is strong, young Senator", also Palpatine could sense her death through the Force very far away. Or she temporarily became sensitive through the intercourse with Anakin?

 

movie hints suggest she is:

I prefer to think she isn't like Han and Lando,

otherwise it would seem like only force sensitives are of only real value

while others in the galaxy are just "pathetic lifeforms"

 

I imagine that people that are mentally and emotionally strong can be sensed within the Force by Force users. The Force connects all life forms so if there is a ripple (like Padme's death) I am sure that it can be felt by the more powerful Jedi/Sith

 

Some people believe when she was pregnant her and Leia devolved some force sensitive connection thus how Leia remembered her mother in ROTJ.

 

Look at Obi-wan, he felt all the beings on Alderaan during it's destruction and I don't think they were all force sensitive.

 

I don't think she was. Otherwise, she'd have been able to sense that Anakin was closer to the Dark side because she was the only one who had more pieces of the puzzle than the other Jedi. If she had Force sensitivity, then she'd have been able to realize Palpatine's plot.

I do think that since the Force is in all living beings and since I believe the categorizations of Force sensitive and non-Force sensitive rely on a range for the number of midichlorians present in their blood that perhaps Padme had more than the usual non-Force sensitive but not enough to have more than enhanced empathy.

 

Yoda's comment was a common 'Good Luck' in the Star Wars Universe, much like 'May the Force Be With You'. Also, Palpatine was a very, very power force-sensitive who was explicitly seeking any sign of Padme's death, because such a thing furthers his plans.

Padme is not force-sensitive, at least not more than any other human. A planet such as Naboo is very high up in the Republic, and thus she would have been found and recruited into the Jedi Order.

 

That's billions of people and surely quite a few force sensitives, Padme is one person.

 

"Good Luck" is "May the Force be with you".

Palpatine could not sense Endor's situation quite well in EP VI.

 

"Break a Leg" and "Best of Luck" also mean good luck. There can be multiple phrases with the same meaning.

Endor != Padme dying. Sensing what would happen on Endor is much more complicated than listening for a death which had already occured.

Obi-Wan also wasn't explicitly listening for the Alderaan event.

 

Well, she saw the clone army and Yoda before many Jedi Masters in AOTC.

But seriously, I don't think so. He had a strong mind, but she wasn't force sensitive.

 

No.

And Dodonna says "May the Force be with us." Substitute the deity-of-your-choice for "the Force" and you get fairly common expressions ("May God be with you," "The gods favor you," etc.).

 

In the Saga Edition pen and paper roleplaying game it's possible to be "Strong in The Force" and not "Force-Sensitive"- in effect, such a person would be slightly luckier than the average hero- without being able to use Force powers.

 

The Force is all living beings so I think, yeah, for those brief moments she was connected to it. I think she's way-connected into the Force with Anakin on that moment in "Sith" where they kinda "stare" at each other from across Courscant. For a moment, she knows what is going to happen, Anakin feels her too, and then it all slips away.

 

She could be

 

Based on what Ben & Yoda say in the OT, everyone is Force-sensitive. It's just a matter of degrees. Who's to say that Han's excellent piloting reflexes don't come from some bit of Force-sensitivity? Same with Padme and her connection with Anakin. Maybe she can't levitate objects, but that doesn't mean she's unconnected or blind to the Force.

 

In the first TCW episode, Yoda's having a conversation with the clones. He points out that, despite appearances, each of them is very different. And that "The Force resides inside all things. Use it you can, to quieten your mind"

Suggesting that people not specifically established as sensitive, can still make use of the Force, as a calmative measure.

 

This. I figure Force sensitivity isn't like a switch - it's a gradual scale. Every living being has some midi-chlorians, and thus some connection to the Force. But only a few are strong enough to actually use the Force the way the Jedi and Sith do. Padme doesn't come up to that standard, but she's maybe a little higher than average.

And wouldn't you know it - Padme is one of those characters.

 

Yup. Can't recall if she's the only one.

 

I don't know if I'd call her "Force-Sensitive" but there is a possibility that she had a bit more of the Force then a random creature with midi-chlorians at that time. However, I think most of it was just her personality rather than the Force. Leia exhibited more strength than Padme did. I think the argument of "she felt things" is probably because that other Force-sensitive individual had connected to her or established a Force connection that didn't require her to have the Force.

 

no.

 

I never got the feeling she was force-sensitive.

 

In another thread we just established beyond all doubt that she is!

 

There's probably not enough information to answer the question.

She did seem to have a connection with Anakin, but no one really says explicitly one way or the other. She also wasn't picked to be a Jedi, as far as we know.

I do like the idea of everyone having a connection to the Force though.
