What are you talking about? I CLEARLY said "and nothing else is said about them". Luke was literally shown surviving the fall in the very next scene:S:P!
I didn't hear anyone saying "Luke survived the fall"
Dude your avatar is adorable...
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.
Well, I mean, there's a couple obvious reasons for that, as well as some fun possible conjecture. The first obvious one is that he'd be keeping a weakness of Vader's in existence. Padme won't turn evil, and she could potentially eventually turn him back to the Light, or be even used as a hostage to manipulate Vader by the Rebels. The second obvious one would be that as long as she remained alive he wouldn't have fully given in to hate and anger, and thus not fully over to the Dark Side, making him less effective. All in all, Sidious couldn't benefit much from her continued existence, but it would provide a weakness in Vader, which is not something he wants.
Now for the fun conjecture. There's a theory I kind of like which explains away Padme dying from 'a broken heart' or 'giving up the will to live', which is kind of stretching realism. (And, yeah, okay, it IS a Space Opera, so it's not terribly realistic, I realize.) Essentially, the thought is that the way in which Sidious manipulates life with the Dark Side is by taking it away from Padme to keep Vader alive during the surgery after his injuries on Mustafar. There's some evidence in its favor which I can't remember at the moment, but could look for, and it just adds an extra layer to the whole thing in my opinion. Plus it's kinda fun.
Whoa, yeah... I've always kinda sorta thoufh Sheev might've long-distance-killed Padmé, to ensure that her children won't be a threat if they are trained by any surviving Jedi, but what you're saying is kinda believable!
Star Wars theories are fun, I agree.
I agree. It's not my theory, I read it online (I think from Trenzy, actually). It's just works.
Yes, but humanoid is still not human. I mean, as far as I know, they never really delved into what differences humanoids had from humans in the SW canon beyond the obvious fact that he has horns and a couple other minor visual differences. I think it's plausible that they either have some healing mechanism or other weird difference, allowing a Zabrak to survive that type of injury. Of course, Biology is the field of science I generally consider least interesting, so I'm not exactly an expert, and if you know better for some reason, don't hesitate to correct me.
And I don't disagree that [smash]ing him was the original intention, of course it was, but I don't think that whether they originally wanted him alive is really all that relevant to whether it is plausible, as it stands.
Yes, but generally when characters in ANY movie fall into a giant pit and nothing else is said about them, they are dead:S. Name one other movie where that is false.
Um... You do realize that if nothing else is said about them, we don't know that they're dead, right? If nothing else is said, then for all we know, they all survived. By definition of 'nothing else', they were never said to be dead, and therefore you can't say that they're all dead any more than I can see they were turned into giant purple chickens when they hit the bottom. So, no, I can't name one movie where its false, but you can't name one where it's true... Otherwise something else would've been said about them. And if something else has been said, then it is impossible that nothing else is said, by definition. It's paradoxical.
Padmé was Lightyears away, it's not unreasonable for Anni to think it was impossible for him. He believed he killed her, remember? And even if Anakin did turn against him, he JUST had his suit put on, he wasn't a threat at all.
He sure did some damage to those medical droids:S:P.
You're kinda addressing a minor, lesser argument of his post and ignoring the major one. Palpatine had said he could keep people alive, not resurrect them. And Anakin thought he had destroyed her. He thought he had messed it up himself, and had no reason to believe Sheev could do anything about it now, as it was too late.
4 movies coming out this week and I'm still having a problem with seeing them.
A certain R-rated movie (if only I can mention it so that I can freely mention its title rather than have to describe it) just came out and I can't watch it because, well, it's rated R (locally rated R-16, meaning only those 16 and above can watch this).
Kong: Skull Island is coming out next week, but on its release, I need do something important.
Beauty and the Beast is coming out the week after and same with Kong: Skull Island, I need to do something important.
Power Rangers is coming out the week after Beauty and the Beast but it looks "too predictable" and is "too Hollywood-ish". I still have to see its comments if they're good or not though.
What about next month? Definitely Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. However, I might have to watch it on the second week ONLY like last year's Civil War. Oh well, guess I'll have to secretly watch it alone. xD

Wow, Trenz always has some good theories.

Yes, but Luke is the only person who fell in a pit in Episode V:S...

With your logic Han Solo is alive:S...

THERE'S A NEW CLONE TURBO TANK COMING OUT IN THE SUMMER AND IT HAS AAYLA SECURA
OMG
You mean the Fighter Tank? That looks really cool, but I'm more excited for the Vader transformation set!
Same!!! But I've been trying to get my hands on that Aayla minifigure since the OG one back in 2005, so I'm beyond ecstatic. XD Same goes for that new new Vader figure though!
Can't wait to see the Ep 8 sets too!
"You destroyed our home! pew pew pew" —Baze to the LMB officials

OH YEAH someone on twitter brought that up and led me to an article -- it's pretty interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if prequel-era books allude to that.

BTW Ant, my last couple posts and replies did get past moderation in time on the LMB, so if you want you can just reply to them here Not rushing you, just letting you know they got up after all. XD

I'm pretty sure the first Aayla minifigure was from 2009...
This is a good year for Star Wars LEGOs... I got the new Phantom and the Imperial battle pack,
and now the summer wave looks great, and I really want the new Y-wing, but there's still The Last Jedi sets we haven't even seen yet!
This will be a difficult year to budget...

I still haven't even seen the King trailer... and I'm a monster movie fan.
