In ROTS, when Vader asks Palpatine about Padme, Palps says "it seems in your anger, you killed her". It occured to me while watching tonight that if Padme had survived, this would have been devastating to Vader and Palpatine's relationsihp if Vader ever discovered his master had lied to him about her fate. Would Palpatine take such a chance? Did he plan on having her hunted down and executed so that Vader never knew she lived, then later found out she had actually died? Or did he somehow know through the Force that she had perished? If so, he would have known about the kids too, so I doubt that is the case. Thoughts?
