Senator Padmé Amidala of the planet Naboo became pregnant during the Clone Wars with her husband, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, as the father. She gave birth to twins, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.
She secretly marries Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight, and later dies while giving birth to the twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Anakin's fear of losing Padmé drives him toward the dark side of the Force, which eventually results in his transformation into Darth Vader.
However, she chose not to tell Anakin, presumably because he was about to go into a battle. Anakin was prone to letting his emotions affect him, and knowing that Padme was pregnant would've thrown him completely off the task. And Padme probably didn't think that her husband would be fighting battles for months to come.
Amidala's body was taken to Naboo aboard Organa's ship, the Tantive III, and prepared by mortician Commodex Tahn, who made it look as if she had died pregnant. Her death was attributed to the alleged Jedi Rebellion that had prompted Order 66.
Leia's Force abilities and her lack of awareness of her true identity also contributed to Vader's inability to sense their familial connection. Vader's denial of Anakin Skywalker's legacy and his fear of getting hurt again prevented him from realizing the truth about his children until later in the original trilogy.
Qui-Gon Jinn believed that the Force itself created Anakin in Shmi's womb, making him the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. The revelation confirms that Emperor Palpatine personally manipulated the Dark Side of the Force to create Anakin, making him Anakin's true 'father'.
Anakin Skywalker never knew Padmé was pregnant with twins, and he believed his child had died with his wife. He had no idea Padmé had given birth before she died, still less that the Jedi had spirited the children away and hidden them.
Padme didn't know because doing a medical examination might leak out and expose the father, not to mention she probably wanted to talk to Anakin about what to do next. Anakin was too concerned with his dreams and with Palpatine's machinations against the Jedi to pay attention to his wife and children.
What was Anakin's reaction to Padmé being pregnant?
Throughout this meeting between the two it's moody, mysterious, and foreboding. As soon as she says "I'm pregnant", this ominous violin starts as Anakin struggles to say anything positive. He stumbles over his words and seems to force a smile. Even as he's comforting Padme, the music doesn't seem very promising.
Although not born a force sensitive by Jedi standards Amidala had a far stronger connection to the force than your average non force user. During her first pregnancy she became the first known case of where a non force sensitive developed a strong connection to the force.
Padmé was born in 46 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and Anakin's miraculous Force-created birth came in 41 BBY, so Padmé was five years older than him. They did not meet until Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, which took place in 32 BBY.
She died and the twins were split up, with Obi-Wan taking Luke to Tatooine and Bail Organa returning home to Alderaan with Leia. A generation later, the children of Anakin Skywalker would play key roles in overthrowing the Empire.
Born on the planet Hyperkarn in 15 ABY, Rey Palpatine was the daughter of Dathan and Miramir. While their names were lost to history, Rey's father was the cloned son—an artificial genetic strandcast—of the resurrected Darth Sidious, making her the granddaughter of the fallen Galactic Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith.
Finally, Rey is Kylo Ren's aunt through Anakin Skywalker. This means that Kylo and Rey's romance is just as genetically awkward as Luke and Leia's kiss on Hoth was. Granted, neither pair knew they were related at the time, but that's no excuse.
The other outliers in the Sith consist of Anakin Skywalker (27000 midi-chlorians), The Chosen one with the highest midi-chlorian count ever seen who was believed to be concieved through midi-chlorians, and Darth Vitaite (25000 midi-chlorians), a Sith Emperor that killed his step-father with a thought and defeated his ...
He eventually became so desperate to find a way to prevent Padmé from dying that his fear was ultimately the main reason that led to his fall to the dark side. Vader screaming for the loss of Padmé. Even as a Sith Lord, Anakin still loved Padmé very much, but felt great guilt for his actions against her.
In the Expanded Universe, yes, they finally find out after stumbling across recordings that Artoo had secretly made. Yes, in both. In Disney canon she knows about Padmé (and thinks quite a bit about her) in the book Bloodline by Claudia Gray.
Yes. In the book 'Tatooine Ghost', Leia learns of Anakin's life prior to his evolution into the Darth Vader personae. This revelation leads her to forgive him. She even named her third child in memory of her father.
