Seriously Darth, since the late nineties you have been portrayed as having some of the worst logic in film/video game history. "Oh no, my wife is going to die, so I am going to join an evil Sith Lord who I know has been lying to me for all these years and pledge my undying loyalty to him. Once I have joined him, I will try to get my wife to join me, but if she doesn't I'll just choke her to death. It'll make for a very amusing tradgedy at any rate."

not to mention nute gunray was trying to kill amidala AND was one of sidous/palpys underlings
