What if Padmé Amidala Survived Revenge of the Sith? [Part 1]

In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker chokes his pregnant wife, Padme Amidala, in a spit of rage as he spirals out of control. As the film concludes, the former Queen of Naboo dies just after giving birth to twins. In this video, we explore what may have happened had Padme survived.

The fact Ahsoka would reunite with Padmé and train Luke and Leia is so heartwarming.

This is probably the best What if for Padme’s survival based of the few I’ve seen. Some said Padme would go back to Naboo and raise the children while I believe Star Wars Theory thinks Padme would join the Empire and rule alongside Anakin or turn him back, but it’s most realistic here that the Empire and Vader will never stop coming for Padme and her children should they survive, and it is also in Padme’s nature to be a leader of a rebellion, she will go into hiding but she will fight for freedom and the people’s rights which is all she stands for. Padme would accelerate the building of the Rebellion as well and the destruction of the Empire much quicker as she is more actiony than Bail or Mon Mothma who are more passive, only striking when they are crushed enough. I like the twist of the planet being Yavin 4 and the addition of Ahsoka, Mon Mothma etc. I also like how you explained Anakin’s turn from Vader’s POV and used all the footage with Hayden available from ROTS to Obiwan. Well done and I look forward to the follow ups.

I really enjoyed this what if Padme survived even more than some other what if Padme lived scenarios, you did a great job, it's so realistic to how Padme would lead the Rebellion and who she would trust to train Luke and Leia. hope for Part 2 10/10

[molliethomas]

I love it! I legit cheered when you had Ahsoka training the twins, and this overall is very realistic. You do a good job of getting into everyone's personalities and how they are most likely to act. Can't wait for part 2

[nandiplays]

Such a fantastic fanfiction 🙌!
I'm looking forward to part 2 🙂.

[cadeshanley]

Which means that Anakin Skywalker can be brought back even more than learning that Luke is his son in the original timeline.

[themasteroflaughter]

In Part Two, I really want to see Padme Amidala turn Anakin Skywalker back to the Light, since obviously, the two things from Padme Amidala that would bring Anakin Skywalker back to the Light is her love for him and the sight of their healthy born twin children Luke and Leia.

Tune in next week for the second half of What if Star Wars only on Disney Plus I mean on here

[michaelwinger]

Please continue this story of what if Padme survived after Revenge of the Sith. It would be in her character to still continue to build the republic from under the empire . Also to raise her own children I know she had a broken heart after Anakian turned to the dark side . I still believe that even though she was heartbroken her children and their future should of gave her incentive
to want to stay alive . Although the emperor drained her life force in the original trilogy and gave her life force to Anakian now as Darth Vader . It is interesting to find out what would happen if the emperor found out the Padme had survived all those years and she was responsible for creating under his nose .

[gerardocovarrubias]

Also next time make what if Anakin Skywalker stayed on mortis like the father said keep an eye on his children or make what if the Son and Daughter Escape after the son killed the father and many more

[haleychambers]

I love this story pretty please do part 2 I'm also looking forward when Vader finds out that he has not one but two children twins!!!

[danielharman]

Cool video. I would love a part 2 and if possible maybe a part 3 if you can make it really cool and original. Something a bit unexpected leaning towards the light side. Maybe include legends, rebels, and the expanded star wars universe including the sequels with rey being both a palpatine and a kanobi by blood and the emotional turmoil that this causes her.

[sheilasims]

Yes😳😳😳make a part 2. So happy you are doing more story's.

[gerardocovarrubias]

Star wars lab great what if also now that I know that Anakin Skywalker could reach his full potential and become the most powerful Jedi ever with or without his right arm tell me which of the Jedi that I tell you could save Anakin and make the most powerful Jedi ever but still let him be with Padme Yoda Mace Windu Count Dooku plo koon or Qui-Gon because Kenobi was not meant to train him

[dianesinger]

sigh so much to unpack to help raise the twins

[austinzizzi]

That’s what I’m saying why did obi try harder he basically pulls up and say “I’ll do what I must”

[catpin]

And Padme would have been an old woman much later after survival

[colethelin]
