and the third one, By the time Vader faces Luke, he's had 18 or so years to be on the dark side, by that time, it's irrelevant as to who killed Padme. He's moved on since then and became so dark that he probably doesn't even give a shit. He may not have even known luke was his until they were face to face, or maybe he just felt it with the force, by then who killed Padme probably wouldn't even be a concern to him, he's already a sith lord, running shit. Ultimately, too, though it may have been one of the reasons he eventually killed Darth Sidious. By this time he would have decided he didn't want to kill his son, and that Sidious probably killed Padme, etc. and all of that eventually mounted up to him destroying Sidious. So that part doesn't create a problem to me. Quote^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^NO. He knew Luke was his the minute that he heard his name. Think about it his name USED to be Anakin SKYWALKER. That's why immediately after Episode 4 he sent scouts all over the Galaxy to find him.
My point was he wouldn't have been aware that Padme didn't die until Luke showed up, 18 years later. OK? YOU GOT THAT?Quote^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^It was inferred in that scene that Padme and the child did not survive. It mattered to Vader in that moment 1.that she was dead and 2.that HE was the one that killed her(or so he was led to believe).But nevertheless I understand your perspective. Sidious is his PIMP.
