Darth Vader awakens, and his first question is about the whereabouts of Padmé. Palpatine tells Darth Vader that in his anger he killed her, placing the blame for Padmé's death on Vader. Vader denies it, saying he sensed Padmé was still alive, which the audience knows she was as Obi-Wan escaped on the ship with her.
It's clear that Darth Vader wishes that Padmé joined him so that they could have remained together. But there are moments in Marvel's other Darth Vader series that suggest that, while the Sith Lord is very much still obsessed with the idea of Padmé, her betrayal may have caused him to think ill of his late wife.
Originally Answered: Did Anakin/Vader ever know he didn't kill Padme directly? No he believed she was dead because Palpatine lied to him and told him in his anger he killed her. It wasn't until after the battle of Hoth that he learned of Luke Skywalkers identity.
His wife is still dead and he has done nothing to pay for his crime. Anakin does not have even the slightest bit of remorse. By the end, he feels nothing but anger. Although he feels regret for killing Padme, he still helps the evil Emperor.
The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred and pain, fueling his descent even further into the dark side.
In the main Star Wars timeline, of course, Darth Vader's attempts to resurrect Padmé on Mustafar were doomed to failure. But it's fascinating to speculate what would have happened had he been successful. In that scenario, Padmé Amidala's return from the dead would not have provided the solace Darth Vader sought.
What he did not see, at the time at least, was that Padmé used her last breaths to tell Obi-Wan that she was certain that in regards to her husband, "there's still good in him." Now, those words are set to be revealed to someone other than Darth Vader himself.
Padme Amidala's secret marriage with Anakin Skywalker was one of the biggest reasons he eventually turned to the dark side. His emotions and love for her often clouded his judgment, and sometimes led him to be violent.
In Star Wars Legends Leia was visited by the force ghost of her father Anakin Skywalker, the man who used to be Darth Vader. It wasn't a pleasant meeting as Leia was unable to forgive him for the things he'd done no matter how hard he begged, and it was the only time she saw him.
that he had sensed padme's death through the force, but I believe that he simply assumed. that her death had come to pass. because all of Anakin other visions had come true. Palpatine knew that Anakin had the ability. to see the future, so he must have known that padme's death was inevitable.
Obi-Wan's explanation was that she dies because she lost the will to live. People have said that it didn't make sense, after all, she just got her children. But she knew that Luke and Leia would be taken care of, and Obi-Wan would make sure of it.
When Obi-Wan emerges from her ship, Vader accuses Padmé of betrayal and uses the Force to choke her into unconsciousness. After Obi-Wan defeats Vader in a lightsaber duel, he brings Padmé to the secret asteroid base Polis Massa. She dies soon after delivering twins, Luke and Leia.
Before Padmé's death, she still believed there was still good left in Anakin, and that one day he could be redeemed. During Anakin's time as the Emperor's enforcer, he continued to suffer from grief over Padmé's death, and guilt over his supposed hand in it.
tragically, he was not able to resurrect Padme. because she refused to go with him. due to his inability to let go, telling him she didn't know him anymore, jumping away from him to her death.
If there's one thing about Anakin that stayed the same even after he became Vader, it's his desire to feel close to someone. Obi Wan left him for dead, Padme was dead, Shimi was dead, Ahsoka was dead as far he knew, so there was no one else around that would accept Vader.
Anakin truly did care for Padme, except Anakin was not at all in his right mind when he choked her. Anakin has many issues, he has tramua both from war and childhood, he has sever fear of loss and he is extremely loyal to the ones he chooses to befriend. This all comes into play in this moment when he chokes her.
If Anakin had never fell in love with Padmé, he would've never turned to the Dark Side because it was his fear for losing Padmé and his two unborn children which caused him to be easily seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. It was his fear which made it much easier for Palpatine to manipulate Anakin.
Well, come Mike Chen's Star Wars: Brotherhood, fans got insight into all the verbal jousting, including the Jedi Anakin hated most, which surprisingly wasn't Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin hated none other than Mace Windu, who was immortalized in the prequels by Samuel L.
Why Did Anakin Hate Mace Windu? Anakin even saw disdain from Mace during his knighting ceremony, with Mace scowling and giving him the stink eye. Anakin felt part of it was because Mace blamed him for Qui-Gon falling in battle against Darth Maul.
“The tear [on Anakin's face] says that he knows what he's done, but he has now committed himself to a path that he may not agree with… but he is going to go on anyway. It's the one moment that says he's self-aware that he's rationalizing all his behavior.
