“No more orders from her highness today” and some other lines on a rewatch definitely show he was being sheepish about it

Agreed, but that's not saying much

He did fine you are a clown

Lol imagine turning down the chance to work on a Star Wars project because George Lucas would be having the final say… over a STAR WARS project 💀

I heard on another SW KZfaq channel that Sidious was draining her life energy to give to Anakin.

@@augiegirl1 Yeah, and if you watch the film with that in mind, it's pretty obvious. 1. Palpatine tells Anakin there's a dark-side power that can save lives. 2. The master manipulator tells Anakin he doesn't have this power. 3. As Padme is the only person who could sway Anakin against him after Order 66, Palpatine needs her out of the way. 4. She dies at the same time Vader is "born". The scenes are intercut. 5. The med-droid can't explain her cause of death. 6. Palpatine instantly knows she's dead and tells Vader. This has to be true because the lie would easily be revealed and he'd instantly lose Anakin. 7. A dark side healing power would have to be damaging to somebody, hence the idea of draining one person's life to pour into another. So Palpatine had the motive, the method, and the opportunity. It fits everything laid out in the film and what we know about the characters, and the death-by-broken-heart makes no sense, especially for a med-droid to be unable to diagnose, while this does. I'm pretty sure the broken heart thing comes from people latching onto "She's lost the will to live" and it's just grown legs. Because it's not like Lucas has ever sabotaged his own scenes with poor dialogue choices before. And, while this is the sequel trilogy we're talking about now, we actually see Palpatine use this power, and Rey, Grogu, and Ben use its light-side equivalent (taking the life force from yourself), which retroactively supports the reading of the scene in question.

SW KZfaq Channels forget that it's common for people to die from a heart attack in real life that even that as an idea makes sense, her being choked and then dying from the stress of pretty much being betrayed and losing the love of her life. I like the idea of Palpatine draining her life to give to Anakin, since both are on operation tables at the sametime where 1 dies and the other lives. I also kinda like how it's not too clear though and it gives room for discussion about it making it far more interesting than if the actual answer was revealed.

@@smugplush I see where you're coming from, but as you are right and it is a documented medical occurance to die of such things, the med-droid should be able to explain her condition, but it can't. I do like the idea of the ambiguity though, but it's largely lost because of the pervasive broken heart reading. If I was allowed to change only one thing about Star Wars, it would be to have had Collin Trevarrow make Dual of the Fates, but if I could change two things, it would be that, amd eliminate the line "she's lost the will to live." That single line is the root cause of the entire issue and it's just crappy dialogue that does nothing for the scene.

@stephenramsey5585: Impressive retcon to use the sequels to explain the ending of the prequels.

You should watch the movie of The Clone Wars, before you progress much further in the The Clone Wars series. In it, Anakin tells Ahsoka shortly after she's assigned by the Jedi High Council to be his Jedi Padawan that she's snippy, because she'd had a prominent ego and called him Skyguy, hence, Snips.

@@chrismeadows4216 Is that animated? I never knew there was one. Thanks.

​@@OrdinaryDude, The Clone Wars is an animated movie, yes. Dave Filoni had directed it, and it'd been released in theaters in 2008 to launch the second animated series as a kind of pilot. It's about Anakin and Ahsoka returning Jabba the Hutt's son, Rotta the Huttlet, to him after he'd been abducted by Count Dooku. It takes place around the Battle of Christophsis, so two episodes into the series. The series is slightly out of order starting out, and its last season had been released recently, after Rebels had ended. The first animated The Clone Wars series had been released in 2003, between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It's fun to watch, it's short, and its episodes can be watched on KZfaq. Only parts of it are canon even though it doesn't contradict many parts of the second animated series, so you can watch it at any point on its own. You should watch the Tales of the Jedi episodes after them to know more about The Clone Wars, then Rebels, then The Bad Batch, then Visions, if you like anime. You'll be caught up with Star Wars animated series with them, in that order. With live-action Star Wars series, their chronological order is Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, The Mandalorian Season 1 and Season 2, The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian Season 3, and Ahsoka. The release timeline can be complicated, but that's a rough outline of everything which most wouldn't want to miss.

Agreed

No

LOL! That's an interesting spin. It left people wanting more because it was wholly deficient of any substance. The prequels are like drinking a soda. Their visuals will give you a boost of energy, but, in the end, it's all a lot of empty calories from which you will eventually crash. People forget that Disney revived a dying brand. Few were interested in another Lucas Star Wars project, and his baby (LucasFilm) was dying. The Clone Wars Movie tanked hard, as did the 3D release of the Phantom Menace, and the Clone Wars series peaked at 4 million viewers, and only averaged about 2 million. The only thing keeping it alive was the toy division (including LEGO and video games). George had to sell. People also forget that Disney paid millions into rehabilitating the reputation of the prequels, up to and including paying/creating content creators.

@broncojuan I've drunk a lot of soda in my life. Lucas had a good recipe, when it was made in 2 hour batches. It got a little odd when nobody would polish the dialogue for the prequels, but it still told a whole story and was mostly consistent. Disney just threw in ingredients with no plan.

You can have them, lol.
