Maphisto86 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Even though it is not that big of a deal to me how Padme died, in one of the most recent Star Wars novels called Corucant Nights II: Streets of Shadows, Padme's cause of death was apparently a fractured hyoid bone among other things caused by Anakin's Force choke. Obviously the droids on Polis Massa did not know the cause of death because there was no visible signs of trauma and the truth was only revealed in a secret autopsy before the late senator's funeral.

Juno Eclipse Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 There is a SW book (I can't remember the name, but I could find out by digging through my room) that says Padme died from the shock of child birth with the combination of choking (Anakin).

Blix Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I guess in the end you could just say that Anakin was the reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Galaxy Foreseen Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 She died because she lost the will to live, since she lost Anakin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 she died because it was more dramatic for the plot Combination of: Lover turning against her Force choke Childbirth Plot Bad acting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztalker Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ah....plausible at least. Those droids of course don't know what the Force does. Might explain why they couldn't find anything. But still...you have 900 years of Jedi experience looking from the sideline. Why didn't Yoda know this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think it would've been better overall if Luke and Leia had been born before the confrontation on Mustafar, and if Padme was killed outright by the Force grip. I'm not sure where Lucas got the idea that this obscure "will to live" business would be better than the alternative, and I've no idea what he was trying to imply with it.

Gerevick Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 In my opinion, Padme was so traumatized by Anakin´s turn to the dark side, she didn´t feel like living anymore. I was most disappointed in Padme for choosing to pass away in the manner she did. I believe she should have decided to live and opposed Vader. If Padme was as devoted to her ideals as we had seen, she shouldn´t have broken so easily. So many possibilities, cinematic and literary died with her. Even though it is not that big of a deal to me how Padme died, in one of the most recent Star Wars novels called Corucant Nights II: Streets of Shadows, Padme's cause of death was apparently a fractured hyoid bone among other things caused by Anakin's Force choke. Obviously the droids on Polis Massa did not know the cause of death because there was no visible signs of trauma and the truth was only revealed in a secret autopsy before the late senator's funeral. This truth is too simplistic to be the real one. Surely the medical droids wouldn´t have been so inefficient as to not perform a full physical examination of Padme. The author of the novel did not understand how Padme could have died because of a more complex reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klw Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 My theory is that their souls were linked by the force so that when Anakin cut that link, her soul left her body, killing her. Or maybe she was a secret force-sensitive and her mental anguish caused the midichlorians in her own body to shut it down. Just kidding. You know it's not that complex. She just lost the will to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If such an idea was so implausible, then you should not have written anything in the first place. If the moderators are seasoned they will delete the last line of your otherwise insightful and well considered reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SITH LORD 872 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I agree with everyone else, About her dying of a broken heart, But lets not forget the both of them had to secretly marry then hide it all those years, Then the news of having a baby, I think it become too much for her!!

Gerevick Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I hated Padme Anyways I thought Padme should have been strong enough not to break down in tears before Anakin choked her. I always felt very uncomfortable to watch her express such a fragrant lack of regard for her own person. Padme flaunted a terrible weakness before Anakin, when before she had always shown nothing less than an indomitable strength, in the face of any adversity. How she pleaded with Anakin and threw herself into such a saddened state was most unsettling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With out those emotions, we would have never seen what really drove him to the dark side, Pure anger and lust for power, By her showing weakness he had no use for her!!

cafiwam Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Whatever the reason I can't except that she "lost the will to live". I mean here she was giving birth to two children (shouldn't that be enough of a reason to survive) and she decides "I can't go on living anymore, I'm going to leave my son and daughter to grow up not knowing their true parents." Kinda of a selfish way to go out if that was her intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
