The reason Padme Died

This is for all you Star Wars Fans out there.

I had to write this, because I feel like I'm the only one who understood the reason why Padme Died. To me it was so obvious, but I guess most people didn't get it.

Earlier in the movie, Palpatine tells Anikin that one can learn how to save people from Death, however, he could not learn that power from a Jedi (aka, you have to learn it from a Sith). If the power can only be learned from a Sith, then the way to keep people from Dying is probably not a good power to have right?

Fast forward to when Anikin is burned. He fell into a freakin pit of lava people! He SHOULD by all accounts be dead. But he's not. Why?


Padme is declared Healthy, but for some unknown reason is Dying. The Drs have no Idea why, but lamely guess that it's that she's lost the will to live. However, She is clearly still fighting to survive when ObiWan comes to talk to her. She names her babies and insists to ObiWan that there is still good in Anikin.


Now, if you watch the shots that are done you'll see that They go back and forth between Anikin living and Padme Dying and The Emporer smiling at Anikin. Then the kicker! The Emporer Tells Anikin that Padme is Dead and that Anikin killed her. How did the Emporer know that Padme was dead? He didn't see her die. Plus if she didn't die, that's a pretty big lie to tell someone who is a pretty powerfull convert to your cause. Why risk that?


The answers to all these questions are this: The Emporer takes Padme's life force and gives it to Anikin. It's why Anikin lives and Padme dies. It's Why the Emporer knew Padme was Dead. It's why the Drs didn't know why she was dying. It's why The Emporer tells Anikin that Anikin is the one who killed her.

Remember how Palpatine tells Anikin that sith know how to save people from Death? This is how.
