    I like the deep dive into her character as nobody has done so before. I don't really like the explanation that she actually "lost the will to live" as it makes her seem weaker than she really was and despite losing Anakin and her handmaids I think she would've fought to stay alive for her children. The much better explanation, which I thought was cannon at one point, maybe isn't anymore was that Darth Sidious sucked her life essence from her body through the force in order to keep Anakin alive during transportation to Coruscant and his reconstruction into Vader. The same techniques he had spoken to Anakin about, using the Force to keep someone alive. His master Plagious and many other Sith in the Old Republic had achieved such feats of relative immortality or miraculous rapid healing in battle via the Force, but it was not free, they used the Force to extract life from some other living creatures in order to repair themselves. Sidious was able to locate Padme through the Force easily because of the bond between her and Anakin and because Anakin was thinking of her the entire time he was being operated on. She did not realize her life was being stolen, and none of the droids or Obi-wan or Yoda could pinpoint what was occurring because the Dark Side had pervaded throughout the Galaxy following Order 66 and suppressed the Jedi's prescience through the Light Side. So to them she just seemed to "lose the will to live" and in a sick way....Sidious was not wrong when he told Vader "you killed her" though it was not Anakin or Vader's actions but rather his very survival through Sidious' Dark Side magic that led Padme dying

      They definitely downplayed how powerful Sidious is/was. His true force abilities would not make for an entertaining movie. Who could challenge him? I think I remember reading he has the ability to summon a wormhole to collapse a planet. Plus his force choke can be used worlds apart. Direct Line of sight is not necessary. If I'm honest. The more I read about Sidious the more of a mystery he becomes. I know the darkside corrupts your purpose but I'm not sure what he really wanted. Live forever, rule the galaxy, tame the force, stop corruption, explore wild space. But depending on what age, and novel or movie he seems to be competing with himself. Am I lost?

    This is extremely interesting. I really haven’t seen anyone discuss her life or death from this perspective. It does make sense though, that she may not know how to handle situations and emotions on her own. I do feel like Bail Organa counts more as a friend than a boss, but I agree he wasn’t really someone Padme probably felt she could confide in like her handmaidens or Anakin.
    Good luck with your channel :)

    Interesting! One thing that always bothered me is that Padmes death while giving birth never tied in with what Leia says in Return of the Jedi "She died when I was very young". This couldn´t have been Bea Organa since it neither matches the time line nor the fact that Luke specifically asks about her "real" mother. An alternative (darker) ending would be the empire/Vader chasing down Padme, forcing her to send Leia away (to the Organas).

    Its interesting to hear these alternate theories.
    I still lean towards the "sidious did it". Free from jedi observation and having defeated yoda himself, Sidious could finally assassinate her with long range sith abilities instead of hiring people who failed. Anakin in his wounded state wouldn't notice, and padmé had to be removed to give the empire time to settle in without her leading the senate against him. Also if there was one person who could crack the shell of dark side that anakin was burying himself in, it was padmé, and without her the potential futures where vader successfully turned on the emperor were much lower. Besides if she dies before giving birth, he gets rid of two potential future problems with her. The problem with that plan, was she had two babies sharing their life force with her, and they were strong in the force. But then, they were surgically removed, and without their help, padmé finally died from sidious's dark arts.

    • @starwarsdistrict

      True Sidious probably did have a hand inn killing her off. His plans are too thought out to leave her alive. I like the part about Luke and Leia giving protection to Padme. I just don't like the way her death was left open-ended. I will be working on another Padme death theory video at some point. Can I incorporate what you have mentioned?

    It's possible to die of love - of a "broken heart", it's very well documented (I believe this fact was likely discovered by japanese scientists or they were the first to deeply study the phenomenon using primarily deliberative thinking and, more than that, a real science approach). But it's always connected or correlated to the loss of a partner in a strict sense, not even a death of a son or daughter would move such a rare happening. So in my humble opinion, and following the hypotheses and variables we can relate to Padmé's death, I humbly am not able to believe it was because of a loss of part of her self (was really a part of her self of a convenient and very needed helpful but ego "estranged" person? More or less dependent and also with particular situations concurring for the need of it, we are social creatures that rarely can live alone - at least we're unable to grow, including as babies not only because of food, but also human skin touch without with we would die during our first months of life) as supported by the video, as, as much important her "imposed" friend - Padmé did not chose her, so we even have more moral dilemmas here than the ones openly mentioned - was or meant to Padmé, she, accordingly to current in here (read planet Earth) the broken heart death could not have happened because of her relation/projection of a future broken relation between Padmé and her surrogate (clearly is asserted Padmé needed all for her psychological well being, but the opposite, as the "defenders" had in fact more restrictions in a way and less liberty to be their own egos in the relationship with Padmé - meaning, most likely they needed her much more than Padmé needed them, again as asserted in the video and justified how Padmé split personality exists or her ego was not properly developed, I would not claim it as completely untrue, but also thus mean the "collective" had no ego at all considering one by one or only, which is very disturbing, shared a "collective ego" or a unique personality that would shatter without even one of them) and thus I deeply disagree, based on our current knowledge, that the presented reason was the cause for Padmé's death, which, in my pov is complex as the video tell us, multifaceted, with many variables, including people like herself, Anakin/Vader, Sidious, the Jedi and their code at the time and how it made the presence of Kenobi and Yoda estranged and beyond understanding for both parts (Luke's EU Jedi Academy deals perfectly with this "attachment" issues years later) but not dependent of a relationship of "dependencies" (it seems none of them grew up to build a proper and inner personality, with which i also disagree); blame can't be set on the age and lack of maturity of both Padmé and Anakin, as many royal and noble houses during centuries were married sometimes even before they reached their teen ages and that was not per si the reason they did not turn out normal people, as in fact history tell us most turned out quite good or even ok, being the worst case scenario the results of inbreeding (genetic proximity that may cause disorders or worst like malformations), like the "decease of the kings": hemophilia. Apart that, I see no logical reason for Padmé death being correlated to broken heart syndrome if not because of the lost in terrible circumstances of her true love and partner Anakin and not (never ever mentioned in any literature related to broken heart death syndrome, to my knowledge at least) because of what if (what would happen latter between Padmé and Sabé, mostly when their destiny if projected by the narrator and never happened in the movie as Padmé dies before and because she was afraid to lose a friend? A dear friend of course, but as said imposed and not chosen and there are no split personalities but two mature egos - realizing that no ego anywhere and of anyone if perfect, thus not being the cause for a broken heart death syndrome... for a friend - Sorry, but this theory is very poorly grounded in scientific terms and does not stick with me. Still, great mental exercise done. But as all hypotheses it can only be confirmed or, in my opinion in the case here, infirmed) that would happen between friends and not loved ones (and note that I on purpose distinguish friendship "love" from a more inconditional type of love, lacking better term). Cheers. Nice video, good mental exercise, conclusions could have been reached better. ;)

      True; that is the official answer but it does not sit right with me. A broken heart; when she literally just gave birth to twins and a bit of back ground knowledge; her family would have embraced Padme and her kids so much. From her family aspect alone; her "broken heart" death seems limited.

    • @brianrussell463
      @brianrussell463 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ it shouldn’t sit right with you because it is stupid and bad writing. In 'Return of the Jedi' there is a scene where Luke asks Leia, "Do you remember your mother, your real mother?" Leia replies, "A little bit, she died when I was very you."
      Luke responds, "What do you remember?" Leia says, "Just images really… Feelings"
      Luke says, "Tell Me." Leia continues, "She was beautiful, kind but sad. Why are you asking me?"
      And that is the question, why is Luke asking about Bail Organa's wife? He isn’t he is asking about his mother. Ignoring the prequels and the stupidity of "she died of a broken heart" Luke and Leia's mother didn’t die during child birth. Their mother hid on Alderaan pretending to be senator Organa's wife with her daughter until she died a few years later. If Bail Organa’s wife was handed a child why would she be sad and wouldn’t Luke be smart enough to know that his mother died in childbirth and not ask Leia about the woman that adopted her who wouldn’t be sad to have a child that she could not have had otherwise. Why would Luke ask Leia a question that would only have brought up pain and bad feelings for Leia?
      What should have happened is that they used the last of Padme's handmaiden's as a decoy to fool the Emperor and Anakin into thinking that Padme had died rather then having her actually die and if you want a mystery that’s the mystery you should explore. Did Padme actually die?

    • @starwarsdistrict
      @starwarsdistrict  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @brianrussell463 I like your point. I have to think on this one too. Off the top of my head... Anakin and definitely Palpatine should be able to sense the differences between the handmaiden and Padme. In the Padme trilogy novel... One of her handmaiden was used as a decoy and Anakin angrily knew the difference very quickly

    • @brianrussell463
      @brianrussell463 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ there could be a bunch of reason why the fake death of Padme would work. Off the top of my head, Darth Vader did some very stupid things, like actually accepting that Padme died just based on Palpatine's word, and not checking his home planet for a number of reason like looking for Obiwan in the place were they met or to end the slavery that was going on there since before his childhood or even to find the droid that he built. So faking her death and having her live as the King of Alderon (not a senator's) wife maker her a queen and her daughter a princess. Leaving the scene in Return of the Jedi have actually meaning rather then pointless and a waste of Luke's time. And Luke would have done research to see if Bail Organa was married before he and, by extension, his sister's birth and he would then know that Leia's real mother was dead and have no need to ask those questions in Return of the Jedi. But maybe Luke is just as stupid as his father and the never did the research and he made a stupid assumption about Leia’s real mother.

The delivery may have exhausted her physically but also psychologically as she may fear the son (twins in fact) could turn out like the father; nonetheless many times the rotten apple also falls very far from the tree, making this a decisive moment because she decided to have the child despite of the abuse, but because of the love for Anakin and the yet unborn one or just born a couple of minutes before her departure or joining the Force.
