In the final installment of our Revenge of the Sith series, Anakin fully becomes Darth Vader as Padmé gives birth to the twins and passes away.
It has come to this. Our year-long series breaking down Revenge of the Sith has reached its final episode. Obi-Wan Kenobi has defeated Anakin Skywalker. Yoda has fled from Emperor Palpatine. Now, they stand vigil with Bail Organa while she gives birth to her baby. However, they are now learning that she is carrying two children and dying in the process of giving birth. Meanwhile, the Emperor brings the charred body of Anakin back to Coruscant where he is finally and completely turned into Darth Vader. This is the final episode of our coverage of Revenge of the Sith celebrating its 25th anniversary. Thank you for joining us on Podcast Stardust for this series throughout the year.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Whether Luke and Leia ever learned they were born on the asteroid colony of Polis Massa,
- The similarities and differences between the facilities where Padmé gives birth to the twins and dies and where Anakin is turned into Darth Vader,
- Darth Vader’s reaction to learning that Padmé did not survive,
- The funeral procession for Padmé,
- The fate of R2-D2 and C-3PO,
- The foreshadowing of the Death Star,
- Bail Organa delivering Leia to his wife, and
- Obi-Wan Kenobi delivering Luke to Owen and Beru.
