Don’t forget the first thing Vader says when he emerges in his suit is where Padme was and if she were safe. He was not so far gone that he ever stopped loving her or despised what she had attempted to do. His rage did indeed overcome him to choke out the only person left that he truly loved, but he never wanted her dead. It’s like a parent that strikes their child out of anger and immediately regrets it (some more than others) because love always overcomes hate. Then again, Palp’s used this to siphon her life in order to keep Vader alive, thus he wasn’t wrong when he said “in your anger, it seems you killed her.” All that time he tried avoiding the very thing he brought upon himself…

[@rebelfighter5249]

No. Palps didn't siphon Padmé's life force. That's a fan theory that was never confirmed. She died of a broken heart.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

Whether due to planning or the ability to capitalize on fortunate situations, Palpatine was able to severally damage Anakin's trust in all around him during the course of the Clone War. Obi-Wan faking his death, Padme having to reignite a relationship then rapidly getting in over her head twice, the Jedi Council discarding Ahsoka, Ahsoka leaving him and the order behind, its little wonder Palpatine was one of the few pillars left to him. Tragically I think Palpatine understood something Padme and Obi-Wan failed to, Anakin was extremely guarded and struggled greatly trusting people especially if there was ever any past doubts. Im sure they had hoped to mend things once the war was over but it was far too late and with his trust already damaged all it took was the slightest mistake to shatter it completely.

[@batboy9997]

I figured Palp was messing with his head. Anakin missed a father figure growing up, was angry because of what happened to his mother, and was susceptible to Palp's influence

Not really. Palpatine knew Padme very well - they were from same planet and same social circles. I believe he selected her as a perfect tool. Young, ambitious, no real life experience yet convinced she was right. Sort of like Greta Thunberg in our world. Perfect tool to turn Anakin to dark side, and then be discarded.

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

@@aleksazunjic9672 Padmé was considered something of a ‘loose cannon’ by Palpatine and Damask, so there are problems with that theory.

[@aleksazunjic9672]

@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis Perhaps, but it was still their cannon, firing at their enemies 😁 On a serious note, Palpatine was expert manipulator. He worked with various people, all with different motives and goals. Yet, he somehow managed to bend them to his will and his goal. Padme was no exception, in fact she was perhaps his best and most important tool, more important than even Dooku.

[@coreyboggs2011]

I have always hated the “died of a broken heart” I feel like it would have been so much more tragic if he’d force choked and threw her which caused her to go into labor. So during the fight she’s giving birth on the floor of the ship alone and dies from complications from that. Imagine the fight between obi-wan and Vader with cuts of Padme giving birth to Luke and Leia. I also wish Padme had been a driving force of the opposition against Palpatine. I like the idea of Padme essentially laying the groundwork of what would become the rebellion.

[@tandavawalsh0777]

itd have to be done JUST right not to come off wonky, but if you pulled it off it would be ALOT more harmonious and clean of a story

[@bizmasterTheSlav]

Padme didn't die of a broken heart. It was Palpatine, who transferred her force-essence into dying Anakin, thus, saving Anakin and killing Padme. A genius move, isn't it? Her force essence isn't much, but it was enough to give Vader enough strength to not die from his injuries.

[@coreyboggs2011]

Sith paranoia was the final step after all the mind manipulation of Anakin which led to Padme's tragic end.

[@artpkaful]

As someone who has had outbursts of violent rage, I think the writers of Anakin's character are short on one thing. Not enough about the fire that builds inside before exploding and typically with more nonsense, as Anakin is definitely insane when he chokes padme, he doesn't sound insane, he sounds angry. Though they are similar I think violent rage is different than anger.

[@isaiahbanks110]

If this is the case then that means that Sidious could see shatterpoints in the force just like Windu could

[@justinb8306]

He could. 🤷‍♂️ Windu was the first Jedi to effectively “master” shatter point (also, creating Vaapad), whilest also maintaining allegiance to the Light. Palpatine definitely knew of the ability and used it regularly with Anakin.

[@isaiahbanks110]

@Justin B which makes what happened to him even more tragic at the end of the clone war he lost his mind and him finding out a sith lord took everything he loved dear from him and didn't even know it until Anakin someone he never trusted in the 1st place told him that that pushed him over the edge and when you lose focus in the game for one second you lose your connection to the force and your abilities with it that's why he didn't see getting his hand chopped off but Sidious did know that which is why he played a frail old man who no longer had any fight left in him

[@aleksazunjic9672]

Actually, for Palpatine Padme was perfect tool, useful idiot of the first class. She helped him to become Chancellor, she led dumb opposition against him (preventing someone more capable) and finally she delivered Anakin to him .

I subscribe to the theory that Palpatine killed Padme through the Force. He used Sith magic on the necklace Anakin had given her in TPM, and then used it to drain the Force from Padme as she was weakened from her attack and labor, and channeled that Force energy into Vader so that he would survive his transformative surgeries. This explanation lines up perfectly with the scene in ROTS at Padme's funeral where the camera focuses in on that necklace in her dead hands.

[@ericseitzler81]

[@overweightgerbil6747]

I dont think padme died of a broken heart necessarily. I helieve she died because Anakin in a way did actually kill her by reaching out through the force to padme who became for sensitive. Since she had two growing children that were force sensitive and there was not only an exchange between blood being in the womb, but the midichlorine counts of both children combined. I believe she formed a type of force based neural link with Anakin. Exchanging emotions, and even to a degree physical pain. She felt and understood anakin's pain on a very deep level at that point. Feeling what he kept bottled up for so many years in the order as well as him on the brink of death on the operating table. I believe once she felt the pain of child birth as well as somewhat of what Anakin felt is what killed her. She or Anakin may have done this accidentally, or she might have used this to save Anakin's life by taking a slither of the burden his physical or psychological pain had on him. I believe when Padme says that their is still good or hope in Anakin before she dies also has a deeper meaning. As she was able to see his dreams and premonitions through this point and was able to see further ahead to Anakin's redemption. By inadvertently using the midichlorines of the Two Children but mostly Leia. Which is why Leia does not quite have the same force potential as luke. Since it cut her off from the force from birth only leading her to manifest her abilities decades after Luke.

[@snapyourfingerssnapyournec6503]

what an imagination but didn't happen that way at all

[@r3n736]

Leia had more potential than Luke. As well I think she died because her children's power was too much and this lead her to die from child birth. It was too much for her to handle.

It true that in real live people die from a brokem heart but it take time weaks must of them are old personne who have live years togethers. for Padme the medical droid don't understand why she dying so the droid talk about some broken heart because it is the closet thing that a droid can think about why she dying. In reality Palpatine is using force drain on her to save Anakin from death using there force bound to connect with her. So when Palpatine say that vader has kill her it true from a certain point of view if he didn't lose the fight he will not have need to drain her to save him.

The way Anakin said, "What did you say?" was his way of saying "how the hell do you know I have wife and my visions?" You'd have to be a psychic to know what the other person is thinking. Even the Jedi knew about Anakin and Padme's relationship, hence why Obi-wan went to Padme's apartment looking for Anakin and why Yoda had foreseen himself saying "there is another Skywalker" in the clone wars cartoon. Also, Padme was secretly forming a rebel alliance with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma in an attempt to force Palpatine to relinquish his emergncy powers and to step down form his position of Supreme Chancellor since his term had already expired.

They were corrupt and hypocritical, and sidious didnt cause the issues that led to tcw, he just brought them to light. Even if Sidious was gone and Anakin killed him, he wasnt the underlying issues with the Jedi order, or the republic.

What’s the song at the beginning of the video?

[@j-money1354]

Anakin actually did not deserve to be a master..Which is why Palpatine pushed for it through an executive order..Since he knew it would get rejected and sour his relationship with the council. As Anakin was extremely young, not balanced emotionally, and had not trained any Padawan to knighthood, you see this all throughout the movies, especially during the Clone Wars show. Where he killed through emotion and allowed his emotions to overtake his rational thoughts time and time again.

[@tandavawalsh0777]

The problems with this point of view were that A) skill/power wise in the force Anakin was many masters superior B) the council regularly relied on Anakin and his abilities to solve and resolve issues in the war for them C) The council would regularly hold less naturally gifted Jedi to a less high standard of excellence in the ways that you mentioned basically because 'they were doing their best', which was also true of Anakin, BUT they werent a threat as a result of their power to the whole Order and Republic and Galaxy, the way that Anakin was... Ultimately it was reasonable for them to hold him to a higher standard out of caution, BUT, it was hypocritical and unfair and kept him from having access to the archives.... And they also lied to him..... alot. They(The Jedi council) were doing their best, as was Anakin. Both of their standpoints and points of view are both totally right, and totally justified. Which is what makes the masterwork of Sidious so absolutely incomparably genius and visionary.... Like a black h ole in the force

[@j-money1354]

@Tim Welsh Being a master is not just about skill or power.. It's mostly about the ability to be a great leader and an example for the further generations of Jedi. For which Anakin was not, as he literally killed multiple, defenseless beings, and acted out of aggression long before the moment came when he was promoted by Palpatine. Do you think the Jedi weren't able to sense this, and the darkside in him? Of course they did.. They saw his inability to control his emotions the first time they met him. 🙄

[@tandavawalsh0777]

@@j-money1354 the jedi werent any better at controlling their emotions though, and being a leader? what??? Besides that not even having anything to do with being a jedi... As far as military leaders go he was beyond exceptional, both tactically, and in regards to inspiring his troops and making them feel like they were fighting for things that mattered. 'defenseless beings' cry me a river snowflake. They were religious extremist traitor terrorists. Your just a light side care bear The force wanted the jedi and those kids dead

Anakin was an addict to power. Like some addicts he didn’t want to be told how he was hurting others, he only wanted to enjoy his new sense of power and hungered for more.

[@darylkemp1257]

Padme wasnt attempting to assassinate him she didn't want anakin dead obi wan sneeaked aboard her ship and when she realised obi was there and he confronted anakin she wanted and was praying obi wan could convince and return him to the light without battle

[@badassnelson]

1:38 the Hutt council didn't grant Anakin the rank of master lol

[@robertagu5533]

Dunno if she was ACTUALLY gonna assassinate her own husband. She wasn't much the type to outright do something like that. Showing to be more of a dual/fighter type then cloak an dagger Andor type. The messed up thing is Anakin was following the same formula Bane set in motion a millennium ago. An Palpatine actually PLANNED an manipulated these thoughts an sorta conversations into being.. basically WANTED him to as all Sith in their warped ways wanted... Weirdo Sith... He only jumped to such conclusions on seeing her WITH Kenobi he'd probably not reacted so bad had Obi stayed hidden or not snuck on board

[@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722]

She should have been that tho. ROTS was close to perfection until George scrapped Padme leaving Vader mostly dead

And the final cruelty of the simp 🤣 *Chad/jock Obi hip thrusting in a Mr. Nimbus pose in the back. Emo Ani teary eyed heartbroke* 😛 Pretty sure this is how it went, right?

[@SmokeyThePanda_STP]

so one thing I've always wonder, why didn't Obi force push/pull or something to get Anakin away from her. He just walked ever so slowly and watched as he choked the shit out of her (she probably like it too....until she died)

[@ohnoitscalixx5379]

Was it confirmed that palpatine used the force to kill padme across the galaxy when she died during childbirth

[@dpt17]

It does make more sense but if she had been packing a dagger like the original script is rumored to have called for that could have been better.

[@andrewmah2962]

What if Anakin forced his way to the restricted holocrons?

[@TheLastSane1]

Or just asked Obi-Wan for the information. Obi-Wan knew how close Anakin and Padme were, he suspected it but still loved anakin as his brother and I don't think he would have betrayed him if his reason for asking for this info was to save someones life, especially not if that person was someone Anakin loved. Having lost the person he loved he would sympathize with that pain and want to spare his padawan and brother that pain.

[@AnonymousEnigma19]

I find it funny that Darth Palpy would be ironic as to say it's those who are close to us that were blind to or something like that I'm paraphrasing, because the ironic part is that he was right and it wasn't Padme the Anakin should have been wary of, it was Darth Palpy himself.

It never made sense to me the whole dying because of a broken heart because she said there is still good in him meaning that there is still hope for him so why would she say that and then give up hope on him and die?

[@kadbenson7540]

Poor anakin, he thought that bc the jedi taught him romantic love and love in general was not allowed that by their order that with their opposite force rivals that he would be able to finally openly and truly love his wife, he was manipulated into thinking that by Palpatine who knew that padme would be an obstacle in turning anakin into his perfect apprentice and lied saying that with the sith he could finally have what he always wanted which was just padme and the chance for their little future family to live together in peace and in a galaxy they would build together to protect the innocent, Palpatine convinced him only the dark side held the secrets to saving her from the visions he was tortured with of her forthcoming death not knowing that palpatines macinations is what led to the events endzngering her and driving him to extreme action to save her in the first place , if youg jedi ere allowed to learn about the sith at all anakin would've saw there was no love romantic or otherwise allowed on their side either and that any good intention or emotion would only be twisted into something foul to provide fuel for their Darkseid powers bc all they cared about was attaining and retaining power

A Sith Lords greatest power is not in how they use a Lightsaber or the Force it's how they manipulate events and people to their advantage and only their advantage.

Palpatine planted seeds of doubt & mistrust in Anakin that he actually believed Palpatine. Anakin was conflicted about his Jedi duties… being a husband… and saving his wife from death.

He either shouldnt have fought him, OR should have killed him.... leaving him like he did really said alot about him(Obi) and the Jedi....

I cannot stand Padme in the films nor in the revenge of the Sith novelization. She just doesn’t make sense, a good example being that she married a guy who literally massacred an entire village without a second thought. Also, she doesn’t really have any personality in the novelization save that she is Anakin Skywalker’s wife. While it is perfectly normal for married couples to think about one another often, and even in affectionate terms, they are nevertheless, two personalities working in concert as one union. We don’t get to really see Padme’s half of that union. We know that she is a politician who distrusts Palpatine and that is it.
