I still dont understand.....

So I noticed. 😛

I keep forgettting that not everyone was here when that debacle came out. 😂

Lucky them.

Heh!

What scene is that from anyway? 😛

bang Read the caption ya big silly! I posted it. 😆

Actually they didn't eaven try to save Padme!

They could have gone to Alderaan and put her into a suit supporting her vital organs. It would have been more dramatic if they had been construsted at the same time! XD

(shrugs)

Padme and Anakin had a very selfish love. Kids or no kids, he could not live without him.

If you think that's silly, fair enough, but GL doesn't, and I can see the mythological resonance myself.

What's stupider was that she 'lost the will to live' after she gave birth to two healthy babies... what a b*tch. She doesn't even care about her own children! I'm glad she's dead.

I really don't know why George actually had to spell it out to us... It would have worked much better if it was just implied that she's dieing of a broken heart...

Let's just start by destroying this myth: having children is not a happy event, it's only relative. And for the record I know someone who was perfectly healthy and died after she found out her husband was cheating on her, so dying of a heartbreak is a fact. BTW I don't think that not being able to live without someone is selfish, it might just be the strongest kind of love there is.

Lucas temporarily lost his mind and decided to make them love each other always.. cry

If he would have just let her go to Alderaan heart broken with Anakin not caring as he is a cool sith. Who cares about seeing her die and those children being born? We know what was the idea. All these stupid explanations of Lucas..

But why didn't our good friend Vader let his woman be cloned? 😛

I don't know, I personally liked the ending. It was good to have all that closure - we knew how Padme was dead, we knew how Luke and Leia ended up where they did, all that.

What I don't understand is that Leia can remember her REAL mother.

And I really don't know how you can say that having children is not a happy event. That's an incredibly sad thing to say. Padme herself calls her pregnancy a 'wonderful thing'.

Not being able to live without someone isn't what makes her selfish... It's leaving her two kids behind parentless that does that.

Any woman who´s given birth wouldn´t want to die, the motherly protection feeling is too strong. And the way it happened in the movie was too fast, having enough breath to actually name the kids then dieing is also odd. Why bother naming them, just let em out then die.

Well, some kids have memories of when they were very little, although it's only brief flashes.

And others will sometimes invent memories. Young children have done this in the past, often times orphans, who want to know what their parents look like, so they subconciously invent a memory of their parent. Likely, this is what Leia did.

I liked the ending, despite how cheesy "losing the will to live" was it was still good, and I am not going to tear it apart. She loved him so much that when he turned and almost choked her to death she just couldn't bear it. In the book when Obi-Wan is holding her pendant he senses great love and unendurable heartbreak. She loved him with all her heart and he tore it away from her in an instant.

And I thought that the Leia remembering her mother thing has already been discussed in other threads, besides maybe she sensed her in the force. Anakin did.
