Who killed Padme in Star Wars?

Answer 1

Anakin Skywalker had just turned to the Dark Side of the Force, becoming Darth Vader. He went to Padmé to tell her that he was safe and that he had a mission on Mustafar. Shortly after Vader took off, Obi-Wan Kenobi came to Padmé to warn her about 'Anakin' (As he is now Vader, but Padmé doesn't know that he has turned to the Dark Side) and how 'Anakin' slaughtered Younglings at the Temple (It was his first mission from Sidious). Padmé didn't believe Obi-Wan and went to Mustafar to search for 'Anakin', to see if it was true. Obi-Wan secretly stowed away on her ship, knowing that she would know where 'Anakin' was, because he found out about her being pregnant with Anakin's child (Technically Children, but she didn't know that it was twins: Luke and Leia) and put two and two together that they were married.

Padmé went to Mustafar and found 'Anakin'. After they hug and kiss, Padmé confronts him about what Obi-Wan said. 'Anakin' convinces her that Obi-Wan is the enemy and that he has become powerful enough to save her (He was having dreams about Padmé dying in childbirth). Then, Vader sees Obi-Wan coming off the ship, and declares that Padmé was betraying him. He used the power of the Force to choke her, making her pass out.

While 'Anakin' and Obi-Wan are fighting, C-3PO and R2-D2 pull Padmé onto the ship. After Obi-Wan is declared victorious, he comes back to the ship where Padmé is in critical condition. He takes her to Polis Massa where he meets up with Bail Organa and Yoda. The Medical Droids declare that she is in perfect physical condition, but she has lost the will to live. They induce her in to labor shortly after. She delivers the twins, naming them right after they are born. With the children safely delivered, with her dying breath, Padmé tells Obi-Wan that there is still good in Anakin, then Passes away.

So, In conclusion, Padmé died of a broken heart because Anakin turned to the Dark Side. If he had listened to her on Mustafar and came back to the light side, she would have survived.
