Whether due to planning or the ability to capitalize on fortunate situations, Palpatine was able to severally damage Anakin's trust in all around him during the course of the Clone War. Obi-Wan faking his death, Padme having to reignite a relationship then rapidly getting in over her head twice, the Jedi Council discarding Ahsoka, Ahsoka leaving him and the order behind, its little wonder Palpatine was one of the few pillars left to him. Tragically I think Palpatine understood something Padme and Obi-Wan failed to, Anakin was extremely guarded and struggled greatly trusting people especially if there was ever any past doubts. Im sure they had hoped to mend things once the war was over but it was far too late and with his trust already damaged all it took was the slightest mistake to shatter it completely.

I figured Palp was messing with his head. Anakin missed a father figure growing up, was angry because of what happened to his mother, and was susceptible to Palp's influence

As someone who has had outbursts of violent rage, I think the writers of Anakin's character are short on one thing. Not enough about the fire that builds inside before exploding and typically with more nonsense, as Anakin is definitely insane when he chokes padme, he doesn't sound insane, he sounds angry. Though they are similar I think violent rage is different than anger.

I have always hated the “died of a broken heart” I feel like it would have been so much more tragic if he’d force choked and threw her which caused her to go into labor. So during the fight she’s giving birth on the floor of the ship alone and dies from complications from that. Imagine the fight between obi-wan and Vader with cuts of Padme giving birth to Luke and Leia. I also wish Padme had been a driving force of the opposition against Palpatine. I like the idea of Padme essentially laying the groundwork of what would become the rebellion.

Don’t forget the first thing Vader says when he emerges in his suit is where Padme was and if she were safe. He was not so far gone that he ever stopped loving her or despised what she had attempted to do. His rage did indeed overcome him to choke out the only person left that he truly loved, but he never wanted her dead. It’s like a parent that strikes their child out of anger and immediately regrets it (some more than others) because love always overcomes hate.

Then again, Palp’s used this to siphon her life in order to keep Vader alive, thus he wasn’t wrong when he said “in your anger, it seems you killed her.” All that time he tried avoiding the very thing he brought upon himself…

I like the novelizations, it really deep dives into the inner thought and feelings of the characters that the movie's don't have time to do. 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦

If this is the case then that means that Sidious could see shatterpoints in the force just like Windu could

[ZoeMalDoran]

At least one parody version of that scene has Anakin raging "You brought him here to kill me, and you're probably sleeping with him too!"

Sith paranoia was the final step after all the mind manipulation of Anakin which led to Padme's tragic end.

[ozmozis]

The irony of Palpatine killing four Masters was that there would've been vacancies for Anakin to progress to Master rank, as well as join the council. This would've allowed him to study if the Jedi had a method of saving Padme's life. The alternative was to find someone skilled in force healing and have them ready to save Padme's life.

Anakin face on finding out that the Jedi didn't have a method of saving Padme's life, hidden in the vaults; that he'd lost Padme by his own hand in an act of irrationality.

[overweightgerbil]

I dont think padme died of a broken heart necessarily. I helieve she died because Anakin in a way did actually kill her by reaching out through the force to padme who became for sensitive. Since she had two growing children that were force sensitive and there was not only an exchange between blood being in the womb, but the midichlorine counts of both children combined. I believe she formed a type of force based neural link with Anakin. Exchanging emotions, and even to a degree physical pain. She felt and understood anakin's pain on a very deep level at that point. Feeling what he kept bottled up for so many years in the order as well as him on the brink of death on the operating table. I believe once she felt the pain of child birth as well as somewhat of what Anakin felt is what killed her. She or Anakin may have done this accidentally, or she might have used this to save Anakin's life by taking a slither of the burden his physical or psychological pain had on him. I believe when Padme says that their is still good or hope in Anakin before she dies also has a deeper meaning. As she was able to see his dreams and premonitions through this point and was able to see further ahead to Anakin's redemption. By inadvertently using the midichlorines of the Two Children but mostly Leia. Which is why Leia does not quite have the same force potential as luke. Since it cut her off from the force from birth only leading her to manifest her abilities decades after Luke.

Very tragic. I agree. Such brilliant manipulations by Palpatine. Every move, every thought extremely calculated. And in right time. Nice explanation of events. May the Force be with you too :) See you soon :)

Anakin inner monologue: I sense that padme wants to assassinate me....

[leoroemer]

Anakin was a hothead. All Palpatine had to do was wind him up and get out of the way.

[kaidorade]

Wasn’t Padme originally going to stab him with a blade but then George had that idea cut?

[fernandoflorez]

Even she wants to kill him but she still loves him just before her death I often believe that Padme died of a broken heart

[lopirobinson]

There is something inherent in sentient nature and power. Power tends to pull on the strings of our fear. This is why it is a popular, if not factual, notion that it corrupts. The deeper one craves power and feels they've gained it the more friends and loved ones can be painted as villains who want to take that power either out of jealousy or fear themselves.

[darkdanofthesith]

Great video, the deepest tragedy of love, betrayal, heroes, villians FEAR & DRAKNESS. The darkness is in all of us.

[K-Dogs]

Man your channel is one of the best on you tube!!

[lordofpain]

Anakin was merely beginning to come to the same conclusion that Darth Malgus did , that love weakens you .
