The Dark Side of the Blogs

A Masterplan.
Salutations Bloggers/ettes

It has been quite a while. I am still tied up in many exams and I have taken free opportunities to go out and make the most of Britains weather. I thought I would pop on, feeling severly guilty of my absence. So it struck me I should notably write a Blog over the much debated topic of Padmé's death.

Heres my take on events. This may likely Introduce with Palpatine as will the Blog conclude with him. Why you ask? Well throughout the prequel trilogy we gain an insight into the relationship between Palpatine and Padmé. Both leading representatives of serence Naboo, both striving Politicians and passionate towards the republic. I cant help getting the impression Palpatine has some level of influence over Padmé and that she "oh so conveniently" fits into the underlining fate of Anakin Skywalker.

Can it be that perhaps Padmé had been a tool of Palpatines from the very start, that she was just a pawn in Palpatines dark game of chess. Maybe? Maybe it was just fate, just meant to be. The will of the Force. But remember Anakin was a Bioproduct of the very Living Force, whats so say everything else was so perfect and that his life had been planned from the beginning.

Padmé essentially played a large part in Anakins downfall, there interwining of fates was ultimately the end of both of them. Yet it all seems so perfect, their relationship and how it all resulted in their tradgic end and the rise of darth vader, birth of twins, death of the tool who drawn anakin to the dark side and of course eradication of the Jedi.

Moving on from this. Back to where i talked about how Palpatine had some level over Padmé perhaps he had more than that what if he had influence over her life, had some sort of manipulative control over her. A Hold on her with the Force using dark sith powers. What if once he has used Padmé for all she was needed for to corrupt Anakin etc. That Palpatine just let go of his hold on her and she lost her life. Then ultimately Padmé's death had left Anakin trapped in the dark side. So his conversion to the Sith was complete.

If so this wasnt half one masterplan...

Interesting. This theory gains even more credit when we hear Palpatine tell Anakin of Padme's death. How did he know, unless........?

Good to see you back on the blogs.

Intriguing thoughts, MD.

I'll interject, however, that I really don't think Palpatine had any influence over Anakin's true love. She was much, much too independent and strong-minded for that. And don't forget she was an early member of the (soon-to-be) Rebellion (cut scene) & her request that Anakin try to influence the Chancellor.

gains even more credit when we hear Palpatine tell Anakin of Padme's death

Considering Padmé was a high-ranking member of the Senate, and her funeral was not secret, it stands to reason that good ol' Palps would know about her death (not to mention he was pretty darn strong in the Force, albeit the dark side).

Intriguing nonetheless. :)

But the fact that he realized it almost immediately after it happened is very suspicious. And of course, as you said, he was strong in the Force.

I could tell you were all tested out the moment I started reading this blog. Mainly from the stupid grammatical and spelling errors I keep doing. Finals are a horrible thing.

I also found that Palpatine knew of her death so soon was strange. I just watched the clip on Youtube and it goes directly from padme dying to Vader being told. Seeing as the two surgeries were going on at the same time I think it would have been almost instantly. Maybe Palpatine told Anakin she was dead just to get him over the edge that much further.

How could Palpatine learn of Padme's death and not know of the twins birth?

I've often wondered the same thing. To me, his not knowing about the twins proves that Pals didn't have the control over Padme that he might have thought he had, not the other way around. The relationship between Pals and Padme is an intrguing one, though...one that I would have liked to see even more about in the films as it was so integral to Anakin's downfall.

I think Palpatine had a way of controlling most everything he wanted to. He drew up the plans for the Sith takeover and would use whomever he wanted to see his plan through. Probably to him, Padme was just another element he needed to gain power, but as ami says, I also don't think he had complete control over her ... she eluded him in the end.

It's as good a theory as any... especially considering that the original script has the medical droid blaming her failing health on the injuries she sustained by being choked. So clearly it was changed to relieve Anakin of the burden... in which case, who IS to blame?
