No, I don't. If you've read my posts in this thread, you'll see that I support the idea of Palpatine killing Padme over distance through the Force. Of course this would require one to locate someone mentally with the Force.

anakin didnt kill padme, he chokes an imperial officer on the death star in episode 4 - a new hope, and that guys fine with it, he just stops gettin choked and looks up angrily at vader and tarkin.

so anakin didnt kill her, i think someone injected death sticks into her 😉

She killed herself. Because she's a selfish b*tch.

lol ure not a fan of padme then?

im not either im an anakin fan.... mmmmmmmmmm anakin 😛

How was it that Palpatine knew of Padme's death so quickly? Her death and the scene above happen simultaneously. One answer I could think of is that Palpatine killed Padme with the Force over a distance. Remember, the medical droid stated that they were losing Padme for unknown reasons. The unknown reason could've been Palpatine's Force power.

And when thinking about this, it somewhat makes sense. We all know that anger is a big part of a Sith Lord's strength... so, in order to infuriated Vader even more, Palpatine could've caused death to fall over Padme, thus making Vader even more powerful. Palpatine knew that all Anakin wanted out of the Dark Side was to save his wife. And so to create that sort of irony for Vader would've been the perfect ingenius plan.

Who cares who killed her, she was going to die anyways from given birth, deppression or "losing the will to live."

To be honest it was Anakin's mind that killed her, but the boy can't help that he sees into the future.

It doesnt matter on what/who killed her. She was going to die given birth no matter how the end was or how much time it took.

The question was "how did Sidious know she was dead so quickly" and as an answer it was that Sidious killed her! But then to kill her, he already had to know what the hell was going on and where she was so this killing part makes no sense at all, and I even suspect.... That this guy is owning himself! 😱

And had he sensed her or if he even was able to make contact of whatsoever, he should've known about the children too! And this would raise even more questions.

So we can only conclude that he heard about her death immediately being the emperor and all and she being a politician and all.
What can I say? The word spreads around!

He used the Force. Simple as that. I don't see how that can be so hard to understand...

I think Palp was going to tell Anakin.... well VADER that even if she was dead or not. Bcuz he knew the death of Padme would UTIMATLY make him go to the Dark Side.

If she didnt die, it's not like she would be in any rush to go back to Anakin, lol. She would of probably go back to Naboo, or go to sum other Planet to hide like Yoda, Obi-Wan, and the babies.

PLUS: Palp can READ MINDS so he knew that Anakin was dreaming about her death, so he knew exactly what was going to happen.

good thinkin

I think Palpatine either guessed she was dead or simply used the force to sense it. After all as people have mentioned, she is not just a normal person, she was wife to Anakin and also someone Palpatine knew for years even before Anakin was in the picture......for f?!k sake, he even tried to get her assasinated! i bet he would be keeping some tabs on her!

Not to mention he is a man and its only natural to get a hard-on for someone as sexy as her......yes he was definately keeping an eye on her!

Ok, Palps used the force and sensed Padme's death and death alone...and that is the way George wrote it.

he probably saw the funeralon TV earlier, Im suprised no one has commented on the force earthquake

An important part of a "Faustian deal" is despair. Sidious knows that if Vader feels hopeless then his moral decay will quicken.

((Oops, accidental post!))

He already new she was going to die, bcuz when he's trying to get Anakin to join to the Dark Side, he mentions "to save Padme."

He already new what was going to happen.

George and the droid say she died of a broken heart, and it is influenced by some literature work that Georgie read. She lost the will to live, simple as that. No conspiracies, no Sith Lords, nothing.

Palpatine killed her through the Force? Um, why? What motive would he have for doing that? Palpy, he WOULD have to focus on Padme to see how she's doing to do it, anyways. And he would also find out about the twins. He was not trying to kill her.

Palpatine had spies everywhere; it is likely that, since the reconstruction of Vader and Obi-Wan getting to Tatooine and Padme's funeral were all over a longer period of time than what was on screen, he found out about Padme's funeral on Naboo. It would have been something very public to the Galaxy.
