I know most people hate me for seperate reasons but Im still gonna write this.Anakin became fearful for the loss of his mother in episode one. Yoda himself said this is one path to the dark side.
In 2 his mother was killed and this had nothing to do with Palpatine, this set hom off.
In 3 padme would have died anyway so he would have turned, It just would have taken longer.
In response to your first statement (about people hating you): yes, we do!
In response to your second statement, Anakin was not afraid so much that she would die but that he would never see her again... afraid to lose her as a person in his life.
In response to your third statement, his mother clearly died from an infected cut on her forehead... I'm not sure if Palpatine had anything to do with this or not.
In response to your final statement, Padme would not have died in childbirth had Anakin not given into the darkside. Lucas has said that this was supposed to be a paradox... that Anakin turning to the darkside to save her was actually what caused her to die. In my opinion, Palpatine may have been responsible for these nightmares after learning how Anakin reacted to the death of his mother and after learning that Padme was pregnant. And because Palps was ready for a new apprentice, had seen Anakin's potential power in defeating Dooku, and was ready to take over the galaxy, the timing could not have been more perfect. 😈
