The birth of the twins

I found this Report at Episode-X.com

In the previous article, we reported that Padme's injuries, at the hand of an enraged Anakin, cause the ship she, Bail, Obi-Wan, and Yoda are on to land in order to save her babies. They land on a new world where the twins are born, and Padme finally succombs to her injuries. Today, we learn that Padme does not just die, but that she dies in the arms of a saddened Obi-Wan, much like Shmi Skywalker died in her son's arms in Attack of the Clones. LS describes it as a "really intense scene." The parallel with Episode II is interesting: just as Anakin cradles his dying mother and vows to never let such a thing happened again, so too does Obi-Wan cradle Anakin's wife, dying at her husband's hand.

My question is, how in the world is padme better of delivering the baby on a planet than on a spaceship? Why land for her to deliver her baby?

Mega cool Bigsef!! Interesting why they would land though perhaps no-one on the ship could deliver the babies!

Mybe there is no medical equipment on the ship if that is the case.

perhaps the ship is near to explode?

I suppose the idea could be they land on a planet with medical facilities, but my interpretation of the spoiler makes me think, they just land on a planet in the woods, she has the babies, and they fly off. DUMB.

i was thinking GL is trying to MAKE his story fit whatever visual effects he wants to incorporate... like he wanted the twins to be born with a sunrise or sunset in the background, so he comes up with some stupid reason for them to have to land the ship on a planet for the birth, when there is no logical reason to do so.

The ship could indeed be about to explode that is logical as well.

Is it a Caesaerian birth? Perhaps Obi-Wan could use his lightsabre on Padmes abdomen in the same way Han used Lukes lightsabre on a tauntaun in TESB. It would be a nice parrallel.

Great idea.. Maybe she dies and he has to cut the twins out so they dont die

what if its dagabah that they are born on. And that would explain lukes " I dont know , theres something familiar about this place". And perhaps yoda will just stay there and something might happen to get the darkside in the cave . Maybe yoda drains the dark side out of padmes wounds and drives into the cave who knows.

it's not cesarian, supposedly to fit Leia's story in ROJ, Padme cradles and says something to Leia but loses consiousness as Luke is delivered. she dies shortly after that.

so leia's older

by a couple of minutes, i think it shows. Luke is pretty callow.

dam i wish it was may 2005

Yeah that idea works for me Jello, curious as to which planet they will be born on though

*chokes from lack of air*

Oh My God!!! This is REALLY...woah... 🙁 😕

Hey all, this pic shows quite a bit -

If you havn't seen it, Iv'e attached it. It shows Chewie with Padme holding a baby Leia (as the site said) with Obi 1. She is much alive and NOT on a crashed ship.

It also looks fake.

pondster, that's a fanpic

Three things wrong with that shot:

a) Chewbacca - The sharp lines around him do not match with Obi-Wans more burred edge. Plus it's an old picture of him that is on a poster I have.

b) It's not even her.

c) That's Ep.2 Obi Wan. The Ep.3 Obi-Wan has shorter neater hair and a goatee. He looks more like Alec Guiness in this new one.

FAKE!
