I dont care what the movie says . It wasnt Anakin. If he couldnt kill his son what makes him capable of killing wife! 😠 It was palptine. I have 2 ideas. so be kind Im a newbie.
1Palpatine comes to Aldran and fines Padme. He tauns her about the loss of her husband.And then quetion her either and her ties to the rebles or Bails(2 years after episode 3) and when she dosnt respond he kills her with lightning . Darth Vader feels her pain but when he gets there shes gone.
2Pritty much what I said befoure with one miner change.Vader gets there befoure she died and held her in his arms unntill she died.
Finti, you are wrong, ESB and ROJ are six months apart.
here's a little timeline with the length of movies-
Battle of Ruusan-(1000 years)-The Phantom Menace-(10 years)-Attack of the clones-(3 years-the clone wars)-TBA summer 2004-(20 years-the rise of the empire, the start of the galactic civil war)-A New Hope-(3 years)-The Empire Strikes Back-(6 months)-Return of the Jedi

Lynn, if you think about it, no other death for padme would have meaning.
I know. And something like that would most definitley give EpIII it's much-wanted "dark" tone. I just don't like to think he would kill her like that, not after what they went through.

Would've been nice for her to have died of a broken heart.
I agree with you. That's how I have always pictured it.
Lyn, look up the literature defines a tragic hero as someone who begins a story at the zenith of his or her power and throughout the peice, falls from grace, often hurting the ones he loves and ends up either disgraced, dead, or somehow redeemes himself. Lucas has called anakin a tragic hero and this is what he must be, in the tradition of Hamlet, Oedipus, Macbeth, and others.
