Padmé Trying To Kill Anakin Would Have Confirmed Her Values

Towards the close ofRevenge of the Sith , Padmé learned that Anakin had kill younglings and joined the dark side . However , when she arrived on Mustafar to present him , she still seemed open to the estimation of Anakin changing his judgment and leave with her . Not only was this not a great look for Padmé , but it was also an odd contradiction to most of her graphic symbol ’s choices and behaviors thus far ( with one glaring elision ) . The estimation that Anakin murdering children was n’t a dealbreaker for Padmé , who , notably , was pregnant with his children at the time , is disturbing .

The idea that Anakin murdering children was n’t a dealbreaker for Padmé , who , notably , was pregnant with his children at the time , is disturbing .

Of course , Padmé had already proven her willingness to look across such flagitious Acts of the Apostles of violence inStar warfare : Episode II - Attack of the Clones , as she had simply told Anakin that anger was a normal human emotion after he ’d confessed to killing every man , fair sex , and child at a Tusken Raiders camp . Other than these two shocking outliers , though , Padmé was always focused on peace of mind , harmony , and protection for the most vulnerable . That makes these import all the more bewildering , in increase to being massively disappointing .

However , Padmé ’s reception , at least inRevenge of the Sith , was almost very different . In conception art forRevenge of the Sith , Padmé can be seen carry a knife and standing before Anakin on Mustafar . As is paint a picture by the image , George Lucas toyed with the idea of take in Padmé attempt to vote out Anakin on Mustafar . While this may have complicated her later sentiment that there was still good in him , this would have been a fascinating spell for Padmé to take aright at the very goal , and it would have resolved the confutative decisions she ’d made along the fashion .

Attacking Anakin Would Have Given Padmé Agency

anterior toRevenge of the Sith , especially inStar war : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , Padmé was a grapheme do it for being brave and virtuously vertical . However , peculiarly at the end ofRevenge of the Sith , she seemed more like a person who felt events were happening to her , out of her control . This slip that almost come to be , with Padmé taking matters into her own hands and attempting to kill Anakin , would have changed that .

Had Padmé try out to kill Anakin rather than plead with him to leave with her and tell him she loved him , she would have proven herself to be the fictional character she always seemed to be prior to the Tusken Raider incident . Not only would this have point that Anakin ’s brutal slaughter of children was enough for her to take the air away , but also , an attempt on Anakin ’s life would have reinforce that Padmé put the protection of others above all else . Surely , she had already realized what an incredible threat her hubby was to the entire galaxy .

Moreover , this would n’t have had to exchange her insistence on her deathbed that there was still good in Anakin . In fact , trying to vote out Anakin first would have made this minute all the more profound . It would have been much more moving to see Padmé willing to kill Anakin only to have this mo of clarity before her demise and solicit Obi - Wan not to misplace organized religion in Anakin the way she had . It would still have been possible for Padmé to repent what she ’d done , even if she ’d thought it was the correct thing to do at the prison term .

It would have been much more moving to see Padmé willing to kill Anakin only to have this here and now of clarity before her death .

Padmé Could Have Died From This Fight Rather Than Losing The Will To Live

Perhaps the in effect thing this change could have wreak was a newfangled movement of decease for Padmé . In fact , the only view of Padmé ’s story more disappointing than her determination to overlook Anakin ’s intense bouts of force was the fact that she died seemingly of a broken spirit . This ending was a major disservice to her reference , who would never have given up or left her children alone . Had she tried to drink down Anakin , she instead could have been severely offend in that face-off and had only enough time to give nativity to her children .

While it may have been hard to unsay that Padmé would really get to a point where she was quick to kill Anakin , it would have made sense for her theatrical role . Anakin had just gone on a killing rampage and distinctly had every purpose of continuing his vehement , murderous ways in the Imperial Era . HadStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithkept this plot percentage point , Padmé’sStar Warsstory would have been so much good .
