I heard a head canon about this recently that the reason Padme dies is because Palpatine used the force connection between her and Anakin to siphon her life away in order to save him. Since we know that the myth of Plagueis was real (Sidious was his apprentice and they made Anakin together) it would also be the payoff for that concept. And the only proof of this is the order of shots (Padme dies as soon as Vader’s helmet locks in place, plus something else I can’t recall), something that Lucas loved to do.
Yeah there was no thought involved. Changing directors for every movie sort of proves that too. The franchise was running in inertia alone by that last movie. What a pile of shit.

Oh god… Rey and Kylo Ren are supposed to be the reincarnation of Anakin and Padme aren’t they.
You’re giving Disney way to much credit
