10Did Palpatine Orchestrate Shmi’s Death?

It ’s long been intimate that Palpatine was behind Shmi Skywalker ’s demise , althoughStar Warshas never confirm whether that ’s the showcase . Given how the dealership has cover to humanise the Tusken Raiders more with meter , including inThe Book of Boba FettandThe Mandalorian , it ’s progressively odd they would nobble and torture a woman from a local farm . Palpatine would also have pot of reason to orchestrate such an attack ; he had already begin plotting Anakin ’s spell to the sinister side , and the brutal expiry of his mother was a conduit for that eventual fall .

Although Padmé was buried still looking as though she was pregnant , it ’s difficult to imagine that no one but Breha Organa , Bail Organa , Aunt Beru , Uncle Owen , Yoda , and Obi - Wan jazz that Luke and Leia had survived afterStar war : Episode III -Revenge of the Sith . In particular , it raises motion about Padmé ’s parent and her handmaidens , to whom she was very close . Even so , Star Warsdoesn’t indicate that anyone else knows at the prison term , and the only reference who seems to have come upon the secret before the first picture is the Inquisitor Reva in theObi - Wan Kenobishow .

The most confusing lack of awareness is Emperor Palpatine ’s , if only because he has proven to be one ofStar Wars’most powerful Sith . While it would make sense that he would have sensed them in the Force or in some other way been aware of the secret plan to conceal them , all signs presently designate to the fact that he did n’t .

Padmé was an unbelievable queen , senator , and someone , and , along with that , she had a fat account and cultivation on Naboo that she could have authorise down to her children . As far asStar Warshas present , the twin had no knowledge of that inheritance .

Despite not only Naboo but also their female parent ’s grave being accessible to them , Luke and Leia do n’t seem to have a warm link to either ( or any document sojourn to their mother ’s grave accent ) . They similarly do n’t seem to have been told about their mother ’s bequest , and they only have a brief conversation about her inReturn of the Jedi . It would be a wonderful twist forStar Warsto fill in that gap , show Luke and Leia being say about Padmé , perhaps even on Naboo .

With Rey ’s upcomingStar Warsmovie , Star Warshas the chance to turn to this family relationship and flesh out Rose ’s character ; whether the two end up romantically linked or not , this story should n’t be left up in the strain .
