Okay folks, I'm back with another question to ponder...if Padme believed Anakin
was still alive after his battle with Obi-Wan, and if she believed there was
still good in him...why then did she lose the will to live? Wouldn't the knowledge
that Anakin survived, and that there was still good in him, be enough to keep
her alive, knowing she might be the very thing needed to bring her husband
back from the Dark Side?

This has been a burning question for a very long time for me. While I get the
whole concept of "dying of a broken heart" (though I wish GL would have
made her actually die from the force choke) it doesn't really make sense to me
that she would feel this way if she really had the hope she claimed that she
had. Thoughts? Opinions? Rants? All welcome. May the Force be with
us all through this holiday season.
