Why Kill Padme?
Time
Ok, this question has been agrivating me for a while: All ideas of Leia's Force-connection to her mother aside, and ignoring any questions of how did she remember her mother if her mother died when she was 24 seconds old...


WHY did Lucas even write the story that way? WHY? Why would he write such a MAJOR and EASILY AVOIDABLE continuity error. From the very beginning everyone asssumed that Padme would survive all the prequels because she had to live long enough for Leia to remember her.

It's like Lucas decided to give OT fans the finger by making Padme die. "You don't like my prequels, well screw you!"

Now most of you who know me know I don't hate Lucas and that I find the prequels to be entertaining movies and vastly underrated segments of a classic story... ANd normally I would never suggest something like this.

BUT I wrack my brain and this is the ONLY explanation I can think of. *sigh* I've been hanging around you negative people too long.

I have a bad feeling about this...

That's pretty much it. I think it explains it clearly in the documentary on the Extra Features Disk of the DVDs. Has tons of great info on Episode IV. And what happened in its wake.

Lucas had a script that wouldn't work as a single film, so it was divided into three. THe back story itself wasn't written beyond vague details of Vader and the fall of the Republic, and of course the long mysterious Clone Wars that Gendy Tartakovsky animated so well.
