the ending of Revenge of the Sith is just a myth
I think people weren’t paying attention when they watched the films because some people will deadass question whether Padmé understands how “dangerous” Anakin is or fully understands who he is.
You know that scene in the Lars’ garage that made a lot of people uncomfortable? that’s intentional.
Padmé sees Anakin at his rock bottom: his absolute worst. She understands every aspect of him because she’s really the only one who gets to see the depths of him; the only one Anakin feels comfortable completely opening up to. Not Obi Wan. Not any of the Jedi. She has FULL understanding of what he is capable of after the Tusken massacre, but she decides that he’s more than that; that Anakin is more than his worst moments. Yes folks, she has full understanding of who she’s putting a ring on. She had a front row seat to all of his highs and lows. George Lucas could have written the film in a way that doesn’t reveal everything to her. But he explicitely writes the film in a way that gives her that awareness, so any narrative that suggests that she’s clueless is false.
There’s nothing ambiguous about how she sees or understands who Anakin Skywalker is.
Furthermore, years down the road, after he makes a deal with the devil out of desperation and commits horrible crimes, she’s distressed by it and puts her foot down that he can’t continue down that path if she’s to remain. BUT she pleads with him to run away with her even with full understanding of what he’s done. Again, she has FULL UNDERSTANDING of what he is capable of during this scene. What makes Mustafar truly different from any other time point is that Anakin’s intentions become twisted by the dark side and he offers her something she would never ask for, but she remains steadfast in her belief in his inherent goodness, of who he really is deep down (you know the plot that’s fulfilled with Luke in ROTJ). She can’t follow his dark path, but she’s willing to leave the republic and galaxy in ruins for them to remain together if she could just get him off mustafar and away from anyone else (though she’s tragically interrupted).
Padmé is the only one who truly knows who Anakin Skywalker is. She’s just as attached to him as he is to her, and it’s weird to see anyone question that or suggest otherwise.
"is anakin alright?" "where is padme? is she alright?" im going to be SICK
