User blog:Aramirtheranger/Star Wars theory: Palps killed WHO?!

"She's lost the will to live". Arguably the cheesiest line in a trilogy full of cheesy lines. But what if that's just a Droid's interpretation of something much more sinister?

I think we all agree that with Palpatine's talk about how Darth Plaguis could make the Midichlorians create life? Well, it's heavily implied in this scene that (since Plaguis was Sidious' master) Palpatine unknowingly caused Shmi Skywalker to get pregnant with Anakin during one of his experiments. It stands to reason that he can also use the ritual thing to cause death, as well. What if Sidious prepared some of his Sith Sorcery on the way to Mustafar and drained Padmé's life force into Vader to keep him alive? Not only does it give Padmé's death much more meaning, but it also gives us one more reason to hate Palpatine's guts.

And it also means one more thing. If Palpatine was responsible for the creation of Anakin, then that means he was unwittingly training his SON. Which also makes Luke and Leia his GRANDCHILDREN.
