When Vader was placed inside his armor. and Learned that Padme had died, he screamed in anguish. and crushed all of the medical droids around him. Vader targeted Palpatine next, unleashing his rage upon his new master, sending him flying backwards into the wall.
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.
Despite this, when Anakin learns of Padme's death, his immediate reaction of grief and regret shatters everything in the lab with a powerful force shockwave.
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.
We FINALLY Understand What Really Killed Padme - Star Wars Explained
Did Anakin regret killing Padmé?
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 film ends with Anakins standing side by side with the man on whose behalf he has committed all his crimes.
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.
He was trying to deform Padmé's personal ship. And it works. The entire hull is burnt to a crisp. Soon Vader's castle is constructed in such a way that will channel enough dark energy to open a gateway to another world so he can resurrect Padmé.
She appeared to have “lost the will to live.” The most common theory states that perhaps Palpatine used Padme's life force to heal the barely alive Anakin. Evidence In support of this theory includes how Padme appeared to die right when Anakin/Darth Vader's life-saving procedure was over.
Paul Duncan: It's implied that she lost heart. George Lucas: Yes. Her soul has been crushed. The thing that breaks Padme's heart in the end is that Anakin says to her: "Come and join me.
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.
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.
Even before the leverage to control Anakin by exploiting the relationship he had with Padme, Palps wanted her dead. Prior to her even meeting Anakin as a child when Palpatine didn't even know of Anakins existence, Palpatine was trying to kill her.
The whole reason for him turning to the dark side was to save Padme. So why didn't Vader almost immediately turn on Palpatine or just rejoin the light side after her death and the apparent death of his children? He had nothing to lose at this point and no reason to stay with the dark side.
The story is Anakin was manipulated to the dark side by Palpatine based on fears of losing Padme and appeals to his desire power and agency, over his life and the galaxy as a whole.
That said, it is possible he was as xenophobic as the regime he established; Palpatine grew up on Naboo, and Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace subtly stressed the racial divisions between the Naboo and the Gungans.
While he had suffered fatal injuries from the Emperor's lightning, Vader's redeeming final act restored his consciousness to Anakin Skywalker, and he had one last moment with Luke before peacefully accepting his death.
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.
“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.
OF COURSE VADER CRIES, he has lost everything he loved. And everyday he is reminded of what he could have been as a father, a husband, and a Jedi. He wears a suit to remind Vader of his loss and to cause him pain. He jad constant flashbacks of his old life of Anakin.
Anakin has no time to show remorse immediately after choking her. He has to deal with Obi-Wan. He showed great remorse later, thinking Padme was dead. One could argue that he showed remorse for the rest of his life, which was ultimately expressed by him saving Luke in ROTJ.
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.
It seemed like that should have been the end of his love for Padmé. But in 2020's Darth Vader, the Sith Lord obviously cares enough about her to go on a vendetta-fueled mission to find out how she died and to enact his vengeance on her killers.
