Yeah, I mean she pretty much ditches Anakin once he fully reveals his fall to the dark side. Like, she was cool with the slaughter of sand people, sorta, but when he denounces the Jedi, she tries to get out and he force chokes her, which she does not think is hot at all, and does the whole “dies of a broken heart” trope (thanks George 🙄).
“SHE’S LOST THE WILL TO LIVE!!! What is your degree in POETRY?! You sorry bunch of hippies! For god’s sake don’t use the BILLIONS of dollars of medical equipment! Maybe we should just get on our knees and PRAY!!! WE DON’T HAVE KNEES YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!”
Probably some Sith dark side sorcery. Might even be unintended by Darth Vader. They are codependent, or he might even have inadvertently done some kind of brainwashing on her that had this side effect. Like a psychic vampire.
Yeah it’s headcanon, but the scenes are intercut and as Anakin dies and she gives birth they both “die” at the same time and it’s visually linked. So something is going on they can’t explain, like a love/death curse, and the med droid just gives some kind of guess. That’s why it never bothered me and I don’t see it as a trope.

I mean, that’s kinda enough… 😬
“I killed them all. They’re dead. Every single one of them. And not just the men… but the women… and the children too.” Followed immediately by “To be angry is to be human” and a few scenes later by “I truly… deeply love you… and before we die, I want you to know.”
Oh, 100% yikes at that point for sure, but once he goes full Sith, she’s all, “You’re going down a path I can’t follow” and, “You’re breaking my heart”. Plus, if she was really into it, I’d think the force choking would be the hottest part 😜
She probably didn’t see them as people. Just like a lot of soldiers who go abroad, kill innocents, and come right back without batting an eye. Then they have a violent incident in the US and suddenly their family turns on them
Er, wut?

They don’t give any explanation of that in the actual movie, though, just like “she lost the will to live 🤷♂️”

Thin and hand-wavey, but I guess that’s where we get the term from.

If the meme fits, wear it, Ms Padme…

Maybe she really hated sand “people”?

It’s kind of leopards eating face.
Anakin killed Sandpeople children but I never thought he’d kill white Jedi children.
Isn’t that just how the families of soldiers react when their favorite testosterone machine comes back from tour and has issues fitting back in
