Padmé Amidala dies at the end of Revenge of the Sith after giving birth to twins, Luke and Leia; the story says she lost the will to live after Anakin’s fall and attack on her.

What happened

  • She confronts Anakin on Mustafar after learning he has become Darth Vader.
  • He Force-chokes her, and she is taken to Polis Massa for emergency care.
  • The official canon explanation is that she dies shortly after childbirth, with her death attributed to a combination of trauma and “loss of the will to live.”

Why people talk about it

There’s been long-running fan debate about whether her death was purely emotional, medically caused, or something more mysterious, but the mainstream canon answer remains the one above.

Quick note

If you meant Padmé from Star Wars , that’s the answer; if you meant a different “Padme,” tell me which one and I’ll narrow it down.
