Did she die from grief, or was it actual complications from the birth?
Why tell Darth Vader he killed her, what was Dark Lord Sidious’ motives, here?
Dark Lord Sidious explained that his teacher was so strong with the dark side of the force, he had the ability to foresee and protect his loved ones from that danger. Script wise and from Sidious’ point of view, why not just tell Darth Vader she died in child birth, not the whole greif thing, or that he had killed her. It seems he would of had more anger towards Obi-wan (and the good side of the force) for interfereing and preventing him from saving her life. The new Darth would of felt more remorse, helplessness and anger not being able to protect her with his new sith powers. It would of further strengthened his belief that the dark side of the force was stronger and could of prevented her death, of course this is what Dark Lord Sidious convinced him of.
Maybe it was done the way it was to prove that the dark side leads to anger, anger that resulted in the love of his life being killed by his own hands, which ultimately was the reason he went back to the good side of the force. He realized his choice caused her death?
Anyone have opinions?
