Padme

So, how many people think that Padme will die in Episode III? I personally think that it is very likely.

She will die, but you wouldn't see that IN the movie, more likely there would be a suggestion of it

nooooooo, that's so sad 🙁

Well, that part of the story IS a tragedy...

If Padme doesn't die on screen then it will ruin the Prequels for me. She HAS to die.

perhaps she'll disapear as well! 😂

Don't say that. We could be here forever! 😉

😂 😂 I can see the arguements now..

I think that if Lucas doesn't show Padme's death then he's missing a golden opportunity. It could be a real tear jerker.

He might think that with Anakin turning then it will be sad enough. Personally I don't think so. I think we are going to end up hating Anakin in Ep3 so he has to kill Padme to make it tragic.
She has to be the innocent one killed because of Anakin turning.

Remember that we DID saw Beru and Owen in a grilled way, and because TPM turned out more of a childmovie, ie: Jar Jar, battledroid 'jokes'.
So don't think that we will actually see her dying, but they will say like: Oh no! She's dead!!!

😂 Yeah, we could just have someone say "Where is Padme" and someone reply "oh she died earlier". Now that would be good. 🙄

Well, she will not be grilled that's for sure.
I'm pretty sure you don't see her dead, maybe suffering or closing her eyes but not that you see her dying all the way around.

As long as we see her die, I don't care how Lucas does it.

Does GL knows for himself how he's going to handle that? Perhaps she doesn't day and a sentence in ROTJ would give the final shot:
Luke: "Do you remember your mother, your REAL mother?"
Leia: "I don't know much about her; she died when I was very little."

So perhaps we don't see her dying, but ROTJ gives the solution

We'll that would suck, big time. She has to die on screen or Anakin turning doesn't seem that bad. We won't get to see him hunt down and kill the Jedi so Padme dying because of him will make people realise that this little kid is now VERY bad.

Wel in TPM he did some rather nasty things.
I was just guessing there KJ

Wel in TPM he did some rather nasty things.

Leia did not say that her REAL mother was Padme.

Think about it. Who Leia thinks is her real mother could be Bail Organa's wife. Not necessarily Padme.

If Padme married Anakin, her name would be Padme Amidala Skywalker. Wouldn't Leia get suss if her Mother was Skywalker and her Father, Organa? YES. Would she also not get suss when Luke announces himself as "Luke SKYWALKER", the same name as her Mother? YES.

Heres what I think. Ben & Yoda know the crack with the prophecy (Luke will sort it out. Leia won't). Ben takes Leia and gives her to the Organas who adopt her as their daughter and keeps her out of Vader and the Emperor's mind. With Leia out of harm's way forever (or so he thinks), he then takes himself and Luke to Tattoine where he goes into hiding, waiting for the time when Luke is ready.

Of course if Padme marries Bail Organa after Anakin, my theory is wrong so.....

Think about the series, in I-VI order, the way it will be intended. Now, you've just finished III, and now are watching IV. Where is Padme? What happened to her? Will we wait until VI to hear a two sentence explanation?

Of course not. Padme must either die or be chronically ill at the end of episode III.

kj: destroying the pod of Sebulba, his agression with a greedo-type (cut from the movie), in the end battle with his ship: after he destroyed the control ship he flew away and so a battledroid, wich could be very easily avoided got cut in 2. AND every kid that has the shaddow of Vader in the movie is very bad 😂

djv: Leia was adopted, if you are adopted your last name changes to the family that you now belong. "She died when I was very little" She can't remember the name because she was too small to remember. But she knows something from the time before her adoption about a sad woman who was her mother. Otherwhise Luke wouldn't have asked about her mother, her real mother. (the word real is important here)

j212g: But not giving away she died, this could be than a major shock for ROTJ, but I still hope EpIII will be for an older public then EpI so you can see her die.
