*sigh* is it so hard to grasp the idea Palpatine had already been toying with Anakin's mind for years, slowly leading him to the darkside? If it weren't for the Padme dying vision, it would've been something else....Jesus....

It's too easy to blame Padme.
Let's face it, Anakin has a weak character and he lives in a time of politics and corruption.
Luke on the other hand never has to face this corruption, everything is black or white, not horribly gray as it was for Anakin. That's why our Luke comes clean in front of the Emperor, his ideals are solid and who knows, maybe he's stronger for this reason.
Anyway, Padme is not guilty, it's a combination of events, including his haunting past.
