He's putting up a poker-face with the Emperor in ESB during their conversation (because he was hoping to find him and turn him to the Dark Side *before* the Emperor was aware).

What's so freakin' screwy about that?

Entirely too much. Regarding Padme's will to live, there is no way that anybody who wants their kids would just lose the will to live once they're born. This was written by a man who has adopted his children, as Lucas has, and does not have biological children of his own. Unless Padme just didn't want these kids (which, in no way, comes across in this film), the sheer nature of having children would give somebody a reason to live, not to die. If she was mortally wounded, it could have believed it that she simply survived long enough for her children to live.

Equate it to someone who is forced to have the children from a rape.
