may have missed it

A crucial moment in TPM, was when Qui-Gon took Anakin aside and told him that his focus will determine his reality. I think Anakin will turn to the dark side because he is focusing on Padme, instead of his Jedi training. Palpatine will see this and use it to his advantage to turn him. In the end, I think Anakin will kill Padme when she won't tell him where she has hidden Luke.

Anakin doesn't kill Padme, Leia said her mother died of sorrow.

She didn't die of sorrow

Leia said her mother was very sad, but she never said how she died. I beleive she was sad because she knew Anakin had fallen. Obi-wan probably explained the danger Luke was in, and convinced her to hide him.

Anakin will come after Padme, and when she won't tell him where Luke is, he kills her and becomes Vader.

A nice idea, but it doesn't fit the Lucas issued timeline.

Leia says she remembers her mother, vaguely. "Just images." Vader is not even aware of Leia, as indicated by the end sabre battle in ROTJ.

I think Padmé will outlive Episode-III, which is set 20 years prior to ANH, though she will be in some kind of hiding and will die young. This would explain Leia's rather vague rememberances of her.

Lucas has said that the next two films are going to be very dark. I think we'll see the deaths of almost everyone, including Padme. But maybe you're right.

I still think Anakin is gonna cut her in two. Then Obi is gonna knock Anakin's ass into a lava pit, or something like that.

Episode-II may be dark, but we will only see small hints of Anakins darkness emerging. His fall to the Darkside will not come until Episode-III.

I dunno, I still believe that Padmé will be alive at the end of the movie, in hiding under the protection of Bail Organa and his wife. Leia will be "adopted" by the Organas' and Padmé will serve as "handmaiden" to Lady Organa.

This premise dates back 25 years to some of the original Star wars scripts, so it may be junked by Lkucas but I hope very much that it will not be.

You can tell it's gonna get dark. Have you ever listened score at the very end of the credits after TPM? The last notes just barely give a hint of the Darth Vader theme. It's haunting, and then you hear his breath through the helmit. If you havn't watched the end credits in TPM, I'd suggest you check it out.

I love the way it neatly moves from Anakins theme, to a slow, mellowed version of Vaders theme. Very forboding...

Star Wars is deep

I'm saying for a very long time that I think there is a big chance you DON'T see her dieing, and that the lines of Leia at the end would give it away

Well Vader didnt know about Luke, otherwise they(Vader and the emperor) would have turned the Galaxy upside down to find him. And they would start with people Vader knew as Anakin.

That Luke and Leia are twins, will also be a surprise

That we learned in ROTJ,
" Your feelings for them are strong espesially for.... sister so you have a sister. Now your feelings have betrayed her too. Obi Wan was wise to hide her, but now his failure is complete. If you dont want to turn to the dark side then perhaps she will..... 🙂

Yeah we know ...
Now that was a big spoiler for the newbies here!

Being dark does not automatically mean a lot of deaths. Anakin's fall to the darkside is a lot darker than OB1's or even Anakin's death. GL's darkness does not lie in loss of life, IMHO.

Padme has to die!!!! 🙁

What Leia said in ROTJ isn't much of an indication because she might remember things from when she was a very young baby.

Well, no point in over-complicating. We'll take Leia's line as read for now until we have reason to think otherwise.

Therefore it is highly unlikely that Anakin killed her, and almost impossible for Vader to have tracked her down and killed her without gaining knowledge of her children.

So presumably she died of a broken heart.

Yeah, I`m with Ush on this one.

What a shame!!!
But, if that the way it is...

No.

Vader and the Emperor knew about Luke. Not about Leia. In ESB The Emperor told Vader they had the new enemy in young Skywalker. Vader replied that he is just a boy and Obi-wan couldn't help him anymore, cause he was dead.

If anything, Vader and the Emperor didn't know YODA had survived. They would turn the galaxy upside down to look for him, because he could train Luke. THey thought they got rid of the problem when they knocked off Kenobi in ANH.

Vader and the Emperor knew about Luke, definatley. I think the Emperor had always planned Luke to overthrow Vader and become the new sith warrior.
