Something that over time has become clear within the saga of starwarsis that if some of its central characters had made different decisions or not let themselves be influenced, things would be completely different, that is why we will now talk about Darth Vader and the theory about what would happen if he successfully resurrected Padme Amidala.
Since, this tragedy was a crucial moment in the decision of Anakin Skywalkerby becoming the victim of his own decisions, and in a desperate attempt to take care of who mattered most to him, he lost everything, so Padmé’s death during childbirth, he turned against the Jedi Order and led the soldiers clone in an attack on the Jedi Temple.
But the nature of the dark side is corrupting, and in just a few hours he was using the Force to attack his own wife, which is to say, the dark side cost Darth Vader everything, well Palpatine He expected an outcome like this all along, but Darth Vader never would have agreed had he known the full truth behind Padmé’s death, and his bonds have revealed that he settled on Mustafar precisely because he knew it was a convergence of the Force where the barrier between life and death was abnormally thin.
This mainly because of the former sovereign of Mustafar, Lady Corvaxwho had consumed the life force of the entire world in a foolish attempt to resurrect her own husband, that is why Darth Vader hoped to achieve the same and Palpatine took advantage of that moment, to seek a solution and his own quest for immortality.
This is how Darth Vader’s attempts to resurrect Padmé on Mustafar were doomed to failure, but if they were successful there are many changes of scenery that the return of Padmé Amidala would bring, we tell you some of the most important:
- Padmé would have rejected the empire – and Darth Vader:
Padmé died still believing that there was something good in Darth Vader, so her resurrection would have seen her appeal to the light that she believed was still deep within her husband, and that perhaps could even have redeemed him decades earlier, though still It would be unlikely, as the cost of Padmé’s resurrection would have been high, causing more damage, and she would have been horrified to learn how many lives had been lost for her sake. Attachment was Darth Vader’s biggest problem, and Padmé was too strong-willed to flourish under his control, so the two would have parted ways eventually.
- Padmé would have become a rebel leader:
She was completely opposed to the Empire, even Even in the main timeline, Padmé was a signatory to the Petition of Two Thousand, a group of senators who tried to force Palpatine to give up his emergency powers after General Grievous’s defeat, Furthermore, she correctly deduced the direction in which things were heading.
So he offered advice to future rebel leaders like dance organ Y Mon Mothmawhich they listened to and which would ultimately lead to the creation of the Rebel Alliance, so upon resurrecting he would naturally have sought out his allies and become a key player in the Rebellion.
- Padmé would have been reunited with her children – Changing The Saga Forever:
This would have had a huge ripple effect as Bail Organa was one of the few who knew that Padmé’s children had survived which is why she adopted Leia as her own and knew that Luke was being held on Tatooine so when Padmé reunited to his children, he would have likely spent a lot of time with Leia on Alderaan and decided to keep Luke’s hideout on Tatooine, since it was much safer, as well as disagreeing on how the twins were raised.
- Padmé’s resurrection would have created a dark new Star Wars timeline:
It could be that this timeline would have been better, causing Darth Vader to repent, but he could also be upset about Padmé’s betrayal, so the Sith Lord would have gone after the rebel alliance with unrelenting fury, and when he learned of his children, he would have assumed that Padmé had turned them against him, and their association with the rebels would have fueled his anger even more.
Namely, Luke Skywalker he never worshiped his father as a hero he probably wouldn’t have believed that Darth Vader could turn to the light side, meaning the Chosen One would have remained a Sith, while Palpatine would have gone on with his own plan to conquer death, and well he could have found different techniques, inspired by the successful resurrection of Padmé.
So this timeline could be darker, making the Galactic Civil War It would have started earlier and would have been substantially bloodier, but it would have ended with the triumph of the Sith, so while sadly Padmé’s death was necessary, and without her the story of Star Wars would not have ended in triumph but in tragedy, with the Force unbalanced forever.
