No, Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) didn't hate Padmé; he loved her intensely, but that love twisted into rage and self-loathing after he mistakenly believed she betrayed him and caused her death, leading him to resent her and the part of himself that couldn't save her, though his devotion remained deep and painful. He felt immense guilt and mourning for her, seeing her as the ultimate loss and his greatest failure, which fueled his darkness, as seen in comics where he'd get furious at insults against her and sought ways to bring her back or confront her memory.
Yes, Vader thinks about Padme. Literally all of the time memories of her are on the back of his mind as she is what drives him.
Vader may seem to hate Obi-Wan and Palpatine but his anger towards them pales to his own self-loathing. I like that the comics of both Legends and Canon accentuate how much anger Vader keeps bottled up for who he was and who he is now.
Consumed by guilt and loss after Padmé's death, Darth Vader believes he failed to save her. This sorrow fuels his dark side transformation, leading to a relentless pursuit of power to avoid losing anyone again. 💔 #StarWars #DarthVader #PadmeAmidala. All because he didn't think to just...
In short: Anakin Force-choked Padmé because his fear of loss, amplified by jealousy and the dark side's corrupting influence, drove him to dominate and punish the person he believed had betrayed him--an action that both manifests his moral collapse and completes his break from the Jedi.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
Padmé didn't wear bras (or underwear) in Star Wars because director George Lucas famously told Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) there was "no underwear in space," a rule extended to other characters like Padmé, suggesting a sci-fi lack of undergarments for comfort or visual reasons, though Carrie Fisher found the rule odd and compared it to Padmé's frequent costume changes, as cited in Wookieepedia and Reddit. While Leia famously went braless under her white robes (using gaffer tape instead), Padmé's elaborate outfits often made bras impractical or unnecessary for the desired look.
Before he could enter, however, Vader was stopped by Sabé, Eirtaé, Rabé, Saché, and Dormé, former handmaidens of Amidala, who refused to let him enter into the grave so he would not desecrate it. However, Vader would not be denied. As he entered the tomb, he became flooded with memories of Amidala.
In canon it was Kirak Infil'a , Cere Junda, Obi-Wan and Lord Momin . All messed him up quite badly with Kirak winning round 1 but losing round 2 and Momin cutting off his arm. Obi-Wan actually beat Vader. In Legends it was Shaa Koon, An'ya Kuro, a clone of Maul and Galen Marek.
In a study published in the journal Psychiatry Research, French psychologists and psychiatrists determined that Darth Vader had six of the nine criteria used for a BPD diagnosis, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM): Impulsivity. Rage and anger management issues.
Despite his love for his wife, Padmé's life and their children was one of the main reasons why Anakin had become the ruthless Sith Lord Darth Vader in the first place, after her husband became Vader, Padmé was heartbroken, but still tried to reason with Anakin to stop his crusade.
Darth Vader's most famous line is undoubtedly "No, I am your father," from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, a shocking reveal that's one of cinema's biggest twists, though it's often misquoted as "Luke, I am your father". Other iconic lines include "I find your lack of faith disturbing" and "You underestimate my power," showcasing his menacing presence and the Dark Side's influence.
She ultimately died of a broken heart after giving birth to the twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Amidala Skywalker. With her dying breath, she insisted that there was still good in the former Anakin Skywalker, who embraced the persona of Darth Vader throughout the reign of the Empire.
Darth Vader held a secret meeting with Jabba, unbeknownst to the Emperor. The Emperor ordered Vader to travel to Tatooine and negotiate with Jabba personally. The Sith Lord arrived a day ahead of schedule, using his early arrival to carry out a personal mission in Jabba's Palace.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
The "3 bra rule" is a guideline recommending you own at least three bras for a simple rotation: one to wear, one to wash, and one to rest (in the drawer), allowing elastic to recover between wears to extend the bra's lifespan and maintain fit. This system prevents wearing the same bra daily, which stretches out the elastic and reduces support, helping bras last longer.
TIL that Padmé Amidala primary cause of death was from a rare case of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, also known as “broken heart syndrome”.
George Lucas didn't let Carrie Fisher wear a bra during the filming of the first Star Wars movie 🎥⭐️❤️ Carrie told, well into the new millennium, that she had asked Lucas why he couldn't put on a bra, and he replied that Leia didn't wear them.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Revenge of the Sith
Palpatine explains that Plagueis was so powerful and wise, he had mastered the dark side of the Force to such an extent that he could cheat death (mostly saving people he cared about from death) and create life; unnatural abilities which are unknown to the Jedi.
Jar Jar Binks is the worst Star Wars character of all time, and he's known for that. George Lucas wanted to make him comedy relief hanging out with a young Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui Gon Jinn for The Phantom Menace but it only caused fans to hate him even more.
