She died of a broken script . . .
I mean this was the end of the movie anyway…
I heard a head canon about this recently that the reason Padme dies is because Palpatine used the force connection between her and Anakin to siphon her life away in order to save him. Since we know that the myth of Plagueis was real (Sidious was his apprentice and they made Anakin together) it would also be the payoff for that concept. And the only proof of this is the order of shots (Padme dies as soon as Vader’s helmet locks in place, plus something else I can’t recall), something that Lucas loved to do.
Oh god… Rey and Kylo Ren are supposed to be the reincarnation of Anakin and Padme aren’t they.
You’re giving Disney way to much credit
Yeah there was no thought involved. Changing directors for every movie sort of proves that too. The franchise was running in inertia alone by that last movie. What a pile of shit.
I realize that Lucas ultimately didn’t want to have Anakin stab his very pregnant wife so she couldn’t have been seriously injured in the final confrontation and have a plausible death, but honestly, why not just have her give birth without medical aid? Obi-Wan is never shown to have Force Healing, there’s no reason to assume he could have stopped her from hemorrhaging or whatever.
They say she lost the will to live and that should have meant she could be mind tricked. But I believe her strong will to die would have prevented it.
Ah, the “they only work on the weak-minded” plot device?
Can we get a gif where she blinks every ten seconds?
It already is a gif, you must have looked away
Mark Hamill isn’t dead and Lucas didn’t do any of that. You’re thinking of Lucasfilm and the two other actors mentioned in your source.
