I hope Luke doesn't see this movie, it would lead to some severe whining and mopiness

So, let me get my geek on for a moment:

Padme the strong, capable defender of her planet is heartbroken because she has found out that Anakin, the love of her life, has died. No longer with a reason to live, she commits magic, psychic suicide. Medically she is completely healthy, but she has simply lost the will to live. This is not a complication to Anakin crushing her windpipe, she has just checked out.

If only there was a reason to go on living, or two. You know, like TWINS. Oh, and if they aren't enough, how about redeeming the broken love of your life? Because, Padme informs us in her dying words, she knows there is still good in him. But, hey, that's somebody else's problem now. She's a delegator. the time for action has passed.

All I can think is this is a severe case of early-onset Post-Partum Depression.
