DontToucha MySpaghett I saw it in the cinema when it came out (think I was 10), Padme was my female icon at the time so I was devastated but managed to not get super emotional, was very depressing seeing her funeral on screen!

Not the last words of Anakin. At that moment it was, because he then turned into Darth Vader. But he came back as Anakin Skywalker at the end of Return of The Jedi.

Those last 40 seconds, which combine the SW theme, this funeral suite, and the Imperial March, never fail to give me chills. There will be such a huge musical void when John Williams dies.
John William's second guesses himself to much tbh. If it wasn't for George we wouldnt have this music because john William's thought it wasn't generic enough in a nutshell
@@jeezed2950 John Williams also told George that Star Wars needed an original sound track. Mr Lucas originally intended to use well known classical music.
It's amazing because it's actually the funeral theme that turns into the force theme... one final time... then turns into the most tragic sounding forms of the imperial march
“Lord Vader.......what is it you hate the most?” “Myself” One man sacrificed everything, and for what? He lost everything. He lost his mother, he lost his wife, he lost his apprentice, he lost his master. He lost his soul, and it took him till his death, to realize it and in the end, he was saved by his son. He risked it all for a power that shouldn’t be tampered with, something that is impossible. He risked it everything, and it was for nothing.
I will never, EVER understand how anyone could say that "John Williams was asleep at the wheel when making the music for the Prequel Trilogy." The music in the PT is the BEST in all of Star Wars. Period.
Who said that?? lol Williams was killing it the entire Trilogy. Sequel Trilogy definitely. But Williams and Lucas completely crushed it with the music in 1, 2, and 3!
@@hysuka2 Yeah, Williams evidently did not give a shit about the Sequel Trilogy (not at all uncalled for). He poured his heart and soul into the Prequel soundtrack. Especially Revenge of the Sith. I'd argue RotS is his single best cinema score.
With this music in Revenge of the Sith, I believe we were watching not one but two funerals with the two scenes of Padme's funeral and Anakin being rebuilt and then being horrified that Padme, the only reason he truly turned to the dark side, was dead. Anakin also died that day along with her, and could only be brought back for a moment to save his son. A tragic arc Lucas created, but nonetheless amazing to watch.
+Roshan Sreedhar Thanks so much for the compliment. I agree the prequels get too much hate. Hey, every movie can't be pristine perfect. Some things were overdone sure, some things could have been explored fully or done a different way. We'll never get the "perfect Star Wars movie". It was Lucas's baby and he decided how he wanted it. It's his story and his universe, he can do what he likes with it. He did a heck of a lot better job than most series do with prequels and continuing movies. Star Wars fans should count themselves lucky with that.
I agree! I LOVE the prequels.They are amazing! I cry after ROTS because it's just so emotional.Anakin is my fav.and seeing him turn kills me.I also feel sad because of Padme and I feel bad for Obi-Wan.And all those people that he killed...it's just so tragic.I've always loved the prequels even though my family is pretty much ALL prequel haters.The actors did amazing jobs and I don't care that so many people hate on Hayden.I won't change my mind for them.My fav.scene in ROTJ is the ending scene.It's so happy.It especially warms my heart to see Anakin as a force ghost.He brought balance and now he is at peace.
Roshan Sreedhar-True,the story just isn't the same.I like the feel of the prequels.Don't get me wrong.I love the originals but if I had to pick watching AOTC or TESB I would pick AOTC.Sorry.ROTJ is definitely my fav.original though.
Everytime I hear this, I think of how Anakin and Padme were on Naboo; how happy they seemed, playing in the fields and the happiness which filled Anakin when Padme said she was pregnant. Then, seeing like this makes me emotional.
Mullin Personally I don’t think they’d have been very good parents. They were too wrapped up in each other to care about anyone else really, my grandparents were the same and my mother and aunt had miserable childhoods. In a way it was better for Luke and Leia to be raised by other people.
@@lauvasquez8030 I mean officially not only is Anakin an emotional wreck a whole bunch throughout his life, he also has terrible political views and is the most jealous and non-trusting husband in existence. The guy force choked someone and then almost beat them to death because they were making a move on Padmé. Padmé may have been a good mother but I highly doubt Anakin's skills as a good father.
It’s certainly debatable. The originals probably has the more iconic soundtrack, but the prequels have some really beautiful hidden gems like this one. And Duel of the Fates and Battle of the Heroes is incredible.
2:58 I was 13 when I went to see Revenge of the Sith, I can still hear the tiefighter fly past the imperial destroyer as the newly reconstructed Anakin walks to stand beside the Emperor as Darth Vader, crossing his arms watching the constuction of the Death Star :'( the chills this scene gave me when I saw this in the Cinema still happen today. It's amazing that even as a kid when my older Brother showed me the original trilogy for the 1st time in "99 when I was 6 yrs old I remember everything Dath Vader even though I had no concept of the films and what the story was, yet years on after going to see every star wars film.....to see this moment barely a teenager I cried, I realised Anakin had lost everything. I can remember going to the opening night with my brother, the audience clapping in the Cinema when Anakin took his first breath as Dath Vader and they all shouted "YES!!" and "WOOOO!" and instead of joining them I cried into my brothers arm. Watching the first 3 Episodes now that I'm older I can understand why people didn't enjoy them, however, I don't care what people say, Revenge of the Sith was the pinnacle of showing what pain, sacrifice and loss was, from Anakin losing Padme to Obi-Wan losing his Brother. The only moment that is on par is when Vader finally redeemed himself and saved Luke. Edit: I'm here because I'm depressed after watching The Rise of Skywalker....to those who enjoyed it I envy you :(
aliso321 I completely agree. Having grown up with the Prequels in my childhood I enjoyed and loved watching episodes I and II as a kid at the cinema and then as I got older I started to understand the Hate The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones got. Because yeah with Jar Jar Binks in Episode I and the Romance in Episode II being really cheesy it was pretty bad in parts. But I still personally like them with aspects such as the Darth Maul Fight, Palpatine’s Rise to the top of Political power through Time, Count Dooku and the Clone troopers. However I always stuck to my guns that the Revenge of the Sith is a Frickin AWESOME Star Wars movie on Par with the OT and a Masterpiece of Cinema and I had debates and fall outs with anyone who tried to tell me otherwise. The Revenge of the Sith is my personal Second Favourite Star Wars movie after The Empire Strikes Back.
Now you know how the fans of the original felt about the original prequels but yeah. Seeing Anakin's sacrifice amount to nothing through a trilogy of films hurt both series as both main characters' journey meant nothing and they died for very little. Especially when the prequels established the tragedy of Darth Vader.
The last 5 minutes of ROTS is probably my favourite part of the movie. It so chillingly brings to Prequel Trilogy to an end and sets us up for the Original Trilogy.
I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was 11. My mom and I went to theaters and from when Anakin destroyed the Jedi Temple to Padmes death every scene in between I could feel Anakins pain, I could feel him slowly dying, once Padme finally died after giving birth and this scene came up I cried and it still impacts me to this day. At that moment Star Wars became part of my life, I’m 22 now, and I can still feel his pain. Lucas did a fantastic job with the prequels. We need you back man.
Many emotional moments in Star Wars, but this for me is undoubtedly the saddest of them. Gifted senator, heroic leader of Naboo, mother of two children and yet dead at the age of 27. RIP.
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is… is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip; We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word." - Anonymous 501st Clone Trooper.
Goddamnit the new Disney saga needs more of this! Jokes and lighthearted adventures are fine, but where is the whole mystical side of Star Wars... the high stakes, the fate of the Galaxy at the hands of our characters.
You don't have that either in the OT. The all prequels were mean't to be Dark...so you can have those kind of soundtracks. The only thing that's get close in the OT is the moment were Luke fall slightlhy in the Darkside during his last duel against his father.
The prequels weren’t that dark until Revenge Of The Sith, where we get really intense music. I like the sequel soundtracks but we can hope for some heavier pieces in the next one.
Sorry for adding this so late but revenge of the Sith is meant to be one of the darkest because it's the moment where pretty much everything goes to shit, it's the pinnacle, Lucas took advantage of that and it's quite clear that his intention was to have the audience an emotional wreck by the end, which I was
Me to yoda: i... I just cant.. i.. I've lost people I've cared for already... I can't just... shut off my emotions like a damn droid! We are MEANT to feel master, not to supress emotions, to suppress is to burn a fire we cannot control
...also played when Darth Vader rises from his medical bed in Ep 3. I have come to the conclusion that this theme symbolized the death of an important Jedi. This theme was played at the death of Obi Qui Gon's funeral and when Anakin Skywalker died to fully become Darth Vader
"Lord Vader? Can you hear me?", Vader's mask turns to the emperor. "Where is Padmé? Is she alive? Is she alright?", even through his artificial voice, someone can feel his worries. "In fact of your hatred, you killed her.", said the emperor. "No. That's not true. I felt it. SHE WAS ALIVE.", his hate and his wrath going to destroy the most of the medical equipment, but there you see Palpatine smiling. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." hrhrhrhr. favorite scene in all 8 movies.
It's also the theme to qui-gons funeral. I love that symbolic nature being as how Qui-Gon found Anakin on Tatooine and really believed he would be a force for good.
When I watched this scene in this movie, my heart hurt will all the emotion, but I admit Vader's scream felt strange for me. However, later I read the novelisation of Revenge of the Sith. This scene is my favorite in the novel. Reading Anakin/Vader's POV in this scene made my heart bleed. And the novel explained the extent of Anakin's injury beautifully. I could not stop my tears. It was very tragic, but it was written beautifully. Do you know that when Vader screamed in the movie he actually directed all his anger and hatred to Palpatine? He put the blame of Padme's death to Palpatine, before realising it was his mistake all along, a self-fulfilling prophecy. Damned. I love this scene in the novel.
The death of a wife and mother, the death of a husband and father, the birth of a monster and the rebirth of an Empire after one thousand years of extinction. Padme did not die from a broken heart, she died from life drain. Only three Sith masters were able to fully master life drain, those Sith were Nihilus, Plagueious and Sidious. No one could beat life drain, the only ones who could were the exile and his companions when they were fighting Nihilus on the bridge of the Ravager during the battle of Citidal Station.
Watch Ep. 3 once more, but instead of using your eyes, use your ears. As Padme's heart stops, Vaders restarts. Our good emperor used his power to keep Vader alive, at the cost of Padme.
The novel of the film actually states she dies because her heart is breaking. There also could have been complications with her early labour that the droids didn’t know about.
Peace is a lie There is only passion Through passion I gain strength Through strength Power Through power I gain victory Through victory my chains are broken
the darkness rises my friend the world is on the brink of war once more and all we can do is wait and watch as all that we have built for the last 10,000 years collapses around us
That last part when Palpatine and Vader stand and gaze off into the construction of the Death Star still gives chills, that verse of the song takes a turn and signals that the young boy, who grew from boy to man, wanting to learn nothing but the ways of the Force and become a great Jedi, suddenly turned dark and seduced by a greater force. The story of Anakin Skywalker is so damn tragic, its so well written and played out, its brilliant!
I know man, it's tough. She didn't deserve the fate she met, nor did her mother. God bless them both and may the Force be with Carrie Fisher as she is on her final journey.
This played in my head when I had just gotten my braces installed. I laid back in the reclining chair as it slowly began to rise and I was handed a mirror to look at the braces. Knowing I could never eat my favorite candy for the next year and a half, Darth Vader's "NOOOO!" played in my head.
Atticus The Gaming Llama Trust me you can eat whatever you want, I had braces and it never affected me. Just make sure you’re good at brushing your teeth and flossing
Ive listened to this suite a bare minimum of fifty times. It's probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever listened to, and one of the few things that can actually make me cry from sadness and delight at the same time
I am the same as you. Ive kept this on repeat for the last hour or so tonight. It is so beautiful and sad at the same time. Im glad someone else seems to feel the same way i do about this piece.
Just love those few seconds of padmes funeral music. It conveys so much. Most of all, a deep, intense grief, and heartache; not just for Padme, but for Anakin, and for the Jedi and the light in the galaxy, which has been choked out by the evil of the Sith.
I remember in October 2005 I had just returned home from being away at school. ROTS has just come out on DVD. I woke up one morning and for some reason I was compelled to watch the scene from 2:58 on. It’s when Vader is walking across the bridge of the star destroyer towards the emperor. It was mainly that force theme playing over it that got me. Just the tragedy of everything that happened. That scene has always stuck with me.....
@Joe Cool Berry Finally someone who talks the truth. I don't know why everyone just loves Carrie Fisher. Even in the movies I didn't like her performance
With the recent event known as "TLJ" marks the end of a great saga that has fallen to the dark side of the evil corporate empire and it's legacy is what remains, trust in the force as there is hope to be redeemed back to it's former glory... But as of now Here lies Star Wars . 21 blaster salute from clones, droids, stormtroopers and rebels as a farewell with this suite in the background.
If Star Wars Theory includes Vader visiting Padmé's grave in his next fan-film, he should definitely have someone compose an adaptation of this music for that.
I'm pretty sure others have said it, but this music was played as a leitmotif rhyme for both Qui-Gon Jinn and Padmé Amidala's deaths. When Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul in _Episode I - The Phantom Menace_ with the resulting funeral afterward, Anakin Skywalker's fate to fall to the Dark Side had been sealed. And the funeral for Padmé where it all began on Naboo in _Episode III - Revenge of the Sith_ only serves to tie a bow on the fact that had Qui-Gon survived and trained Anakin, he might not have fallen at all.
Revenge of the Sith had one of the best soundtracks. Williams did a fantastic job capturing the emotion of almost every single scene, especially near the end when we see the rise of Vader and the Empire.
Everything about the score of Revenge of the Sith is just utterly incredible. John Williams is simply unmatched in his compositional and arranging skill. I mean the fact he worked The Imperial March into this is just mind boggling and you can tell he is just as invested in the characters are we the audience are
Any chance of a Darth Plagueis suite in the future? Literally just the opera theme and the eerily similar Snoke theme, along with "Palpatine's Big Pitch." Inspire some mighty fine beats, my apprentice did.
I don’t remember how I reacted the first time I saw this film. But I do remember the circumstances. As with the other Star Wars movies, I was young, perhaps 5 or 6, and I watched them all with my dad while we were on vacation at a condo near a beach. Back then I only cared about special effects and music, and though I was able to follow the plot, it wasn’t the focal point to my young brain. Now, after having rewatched the films dozens of times each, the poetry of the cinematography and writing combined with the music is just incredibly beautiful. Star Wars has created some wonderful memories in my life, from watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars with my dad every Saturday morning as we enjoyed breakfast, to rewatching the movies just to hear the soundtrack, to playing The Force Unleashed, the KOTOR games and Jedi Fallen Order for the first time. Even reading the books (mostly late at night), and the many hours spent consuming Wookieepedia’s exhaustive catalog of information just because I was curious. Not to mention that I listened to the soundtracks almost every night while I slept. My dad and I still watch pretty much every piece of Star Wars media, from The Mandalorian to the Clone Wars revival to the Bad Batch, whenever we have time. I think one of the most important impacts Star Wars has had on my life is that I’m now a composer because of my fascination with film music-in particular, that of John Williams. I started playing violin when I was five so I could learn the theme to Schindler’s List, which I had heard in the car, and it only progressed from there, especially as I consumed a steady diet of high-quality film music. And if not for film music, I would never have discovered Wagner or Sibelius or Dvorak or Mahler or Rachmaninoff or Debussy or Ravel! Now, I’ve drifted away from film music stylistically, preferring an admittedly French approach to harmony, in contrast to the very rich Austro-Germanic tradition of film scores. But I come back to it often, because it grounds me and reminds me of one of the reasons I am so obsessed with writing music. So thank you, George Lucas. Thank you, John Williams. And thank you, Dad.
_Qui Gons force ghosts manifests in front of Anakin_ "Do you believe that you are the chosen one? "How, can I know? " I can tell you what I believe, I believe you will bring balance to the force, that you will face your demons and save the universe. Remember your training Anakin, trust your instincts, you will find another way".
Now... here we stand... rest in peace. The lineage ok skywalker Schmi: died in her son's hands. Anakin/vader: died protecting his family Padme: died after giving birth, unnaturally if you may call it Han: died trying to bring his son back Luke: died protecting his own sister and her group Leia: died saving her son *redacted*: died... saving the one he loved.. It's funny, this whole family death started with the ability to save others from death, and here, it comes full circle
1:22 makes me think of Vader having nightmares about his past and although he is now a Sith Lord left scarred and deformed underneath an armoured life support suit, he after having these nightmares about what he could have become and how if he wasn't so arrogant and impatient, he would have become a Jedi master, and he would happily live with his wife and children on naboo, and with sidious dead, the jedi order would live on through harmony and peace, and Vader could not do anything except fuel himself because of his mistakes of following palpatines manipulative ways...
What I found annoying about "fans" was how they complained about Vader screaming "Noooooooo" when he found out Padme was dead. They say it was out of character for Vader. No offence, but that was a stupid claim. He just became Vader and found out he lost everything when trying to save her. Her death broke him, pushing Anakin deep down and replaced as Vader
Darth Vader shouting no was way too much even for that scene. What would have made sense is for Vader to have fallen to his knees in sullen silence broken up by his heavy breathing and the sounds of Vader punching the ground.
@@jerm70 It wasn't too much. At that time, he isn't the Vader of the OT. He was forced into the suit that caused him pain for many years to come and found out that he lost his wife despite all his attempts to save herw
I adore this piece of music, my favourite part is the end where they combine the dart vader theme with those tragic sounding violins, it shows that we have vader now (a sith) but he's plagued with tragedy, pain and heartache for the rest of his life and then the violins fade and it ends on vader's theme, theres so much meaning behind this music
What makes this even more tragic is the (loose) translation of the vocals (from Sanskrit): Madhurah swehpna, go rahdomah swehpna, (Oh sweet sleep, go aquire rest/sleep) Madhurah swehpna, go rahdomah swehpna, (Oh sweet sleep, go aquire rest/sleep) Mooritioo, madhurah swehpna. (Overcome death, sweet sleep)
I don't know why, but every time I hear the music of Padme's funeral I get goosebumps. I watched the film so often but this scene and the following with Vader really depresses me every time.
A literal funeral for Padmé Amidala, and a metaphorical funeral for Anakin Skywalker.
Look up the word metaphorical. Or watch the birth of Vader again.

Holy shit, I'm doing the same thing right now...
This song plays at both Qui Gon & Padme's funeral, both pivotal moments to Anakin's path to the dark side
Prequels music arguably better than originals.
I like the prequels as auf whole. I enjoying the Movies, more than the originals 😅👌
Prequels are better than OT
liam holloway I agree
now thats a crazy debate
It’s certainly debatable. The originals probably has the more iconic soundtrack, but the prequels have some really beautiful hidden gems like this one. And Duel of the Fates and Battle of the Heroes is incredible.
RIP James Earl Jones may the force be with you.
2:58 I was 13 when I went to see Revenge of the Sith, I can still hear the tiefighter fly past the imperial destroyer as the newly reconstructed Anakin walks to stand beside the Emperor as Darth Vader, crossing his arms watching the constuction of the Death Star :'( the chills this scene gave me when I saw this in the Cinema still happen today.
It's amazing that even as a kid when my older Brother showed me the original trilogy for the 1st time in "99 when I was 6 yrs old I remember everything Dath Vader even though I had no concept of the films and what the story was, yet years on after going to see every star wars film.....to see this moment barely a teenager I cried, I realised Anakin had lost everything. I can remember going to the opening night with my brother, the audience clapping in the Cinema when Anakin took his first breath as Dath Vader and they all shouted "YES!!" and "WOOOO!" and instead of joining them I cried into my brothers arm. Watching the first 3 Episodes now that I'm older I can understand why people didn't enjoy them, however, I don't care what people say, Revenge of the Sith was the pinnacle of showing what pain, sacrifice and loss was, from Anakin losing Padme to Obi-Wan losing his Brother. The only moment that is on par is when Vader finally redeemed himself and saved Luke.
Edit: I'm here because I'm depressed after watching The Rise of Skywalker....to those who enjoyed it I envy you :(
❤️
aliso321 I completely agree. Having grown up with the Prequels in my childhood I enjoyed and loved watching episodes I and II as a kid at the cinema and then as I got older I started to understand the Hate The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones got. Because yeah with Jar Jar Binks in Episode I and the Romance in Episode II being really cheesy it was pretty bad in parts. But I still personally like them with aspects such as the Darth Maul Fight, Palpatine’s Rise to the top of Political power through Time, Count Dooku and the Clone troopers. However I always stuck to my guns that the Revenge of the Sith is a Frickin AWESOME Star Wars movie on Par with the OT and a Masterpiece of Cinema and I had debates and fall outs with anyone who tried to tell me otherwise. The Revenge of the Sith is my personal Second Favourite Star Wars movie after The Empire Strikes Back.
Now you know how the fans of the original felt about the original prequels but yeah. Seeing Anakin's sacrifice amount to nothing through a trilogy of films hurt both series as both main characters' journey meant nothing and they died for very little. Especially when the prequels established the tragedy of Darth Vader.
This played during the beginning of the final episode of Clone Wars, how fitting...
The lyrics were different, the pitch a little higher, but other than that yeah
Actually. It's extremely similar but different
The last 5 minutes of ROTS is probably my favourite part of the movie. It so chillingly brings to Prequel Trilogy to an end and sets us up for the Original Trilogy.
James Earl Jones, the terrifying voice of Darth Vader, has passed away today at the age of 93.

I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was 11. My mom and I went to theaters and from when Anakin destroyed the Jedi Temple to Padmes death every scene in between I could feel Anakins pain, I could feel him slowly dying, once Padme finally died after giving birth and this scene came up I cried and it still impacts me to this day. At that moment Star Wars became part of my life, I’m 22 now, and I can still feel his pain. Lucas did a fantastic job with the prequels. We need you back man.
Many emotional moments in Star Wars, but this for me is undoubtedly the saddest of them. Gifted senator, heroic leader of Naboo, mother of two children and yet dead at the age of 27. RIP.

"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is… is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip; We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word." - Anonymous 501st Clone Trooper.

Goddamnit the new Disney saga needs more of this! Jokes and lighthearted adventures are fine, but where is the whole mystical side of Star Wars... the high stakes, the fate of the Galaxy at the hands of our characters.
You don't have that either in the OT. The all prequels were mean't to be Dark...so you can have those kind of soundtracks. The only thing that's get close in the OT is the moment were Luke fall slightlhy in the Darkside during his last duel against his father.
The OT definitely felt dark at times, especially in ESB
The prequels weren’t that dark until Revenge Of The Sith, where we get really intense music. I like the sequel soundtracks but we can hope for some heavier pieces in the next one.
Sorry for adding this so late but revenge of the Sith is meant to be one of the darkest because it's the moment where pretty much everything goes to shit, it's the pinnacle, Lucas took advantage of that and it's quite clear that his intention was to have the audience an emotional wreck by the end, which I was
EXACTLY!

Although your fantastic arranging skills can not be forgotten, this was amazing!
...also played when Darth Vader rises from his medical bed in Ep 3. I have come to the conclusion that this theme symbolized the death of an important Jedi. This theme was played at the death of Obi Qui Gon's funeral and when Anakin Skywalker died to fully become Darth Vader
"Lord Vader? Can you hear me?", Vader's mask turns to the emperor. "Where is Padmé? Is she alive? Is she alright?", even through his artificial voice, someone can feel his worries. "In fact of your hatred, you killed her.", said the emperor. "No. That's not true. I felt it. SHE WAS ALIVE.", his hate and his wrath going to destroy the most of the medical equipment, but there you see Palpatine smiling. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
hrhrhrhr. favorite scene in all 8 movies.
cringe
Joseph Brunette it’s a powerful scene, except when Vader says nooo
Worm On A Hook The first words of Vader is not "Where is Padme ?" It's "Yes Master." 😉
It's also the theme to qui-gons funeral. I love that symbolic nature being as how Qui-Gon found Anakin on Tatooine and really believed he would be a force for good.
When I watched this scene in this movie, my heart hurt will all the emotion, but I admit Vader's scream felt strange for me. However, later I read the novelisation of Revenge of the Sith. This scene is my favorite in the novel. Reading Anakin/Vader's POV in this scene made my heart bleed. And the novel explained the extent of Anakin's injury beautifully. I could not stop my tears. It was very tragic, but it was written beautifully.
Do you know that when Vader screamed in the movie he actually directed all his anger and hatred to Palpatine? He put the blame of Padme's death to Palpatine, before realising it was his mistake all along, a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Damned. I love this scene in the novel.
Anyone else almost lost it when they saw Vader rising to this theme for the first time? That was so tragic.
yep
I remember the whole audience started clapping.
I just read the news on James Earl Jones passing and this is all that was playing in my head as I read the article

Peter Mayhew
May 19th, 1944 - April 30th 2019
The death of a wife and mother, the death of a husband and father, the birth of a monster and the rebirth of an Empire after one thousand years of extinction. Padme did not die from a broken heart, she died from life drain. Only three Sith masters were able to fully master life drain, those Sith were Nihilus, Plagueious and Sidious. No one could beat life drain, the only ones who could were the exile and his companions when they were fighting Nihilus on the bridge of the Ravager during the battle of Citidal Station.
The exile was a she her name was meetra surik was one of Revans top officers in the mandalorian wars
The song is also played when Meetra and Revan are betrayed by Scourge in the "Revan" audiobook. So heartbreaking...
Watch Ep. 3 once more, but instead of using your eyes, use your ears. As Padme's heart stops, Vaders restarts. Our good emperor used his power to keep Vader alive, at the cost of Padme.
The novel of the film actually states she dies because her heart is breaking. There also could have been complications with her early labour that the droids didn’t know about.

That last part when Palpatine and Vader stand and gaze off into the construction of the Death Star still gives chills, that verse of the song takes a turn and signals that the young boy, who grew from boy to man, wanting to learn nothing but the ways of the Force and become a great Jedi, suddenly turned dark and seduced by a greater force. The story of Anakin Skywalker is so damn tragic, its so well written and played out, its brilliant!

This played in my head when I had just gotten my braces installed. I laid back in the reclining chair as it slowly began to rise and I was handed a mirror to look at the braces. Knowing I could never eat my favorite candy for the next year and a half, Darth Vader's "NOOOO!" played in my head.

John Williams found a way to rip peoples hearts out through music.
Just love those few seconds of padmes funeral music. It conveys so much. Most of all, a deep, intense grief, and heartache; not just for Padme, but for Anakin, and for the Jedi and the light in the galaxy, which has been choked out by the evil of the Sith.
RIP Carrie Fisher, we still miss you.
I remember in October 2005 I had just returned home from being away at school.
ROTS has just come out on DVD. I woke up one morning and for some reason I was compelled to watch the scene from 2:58 on. It’s when Vader is walking across the bridge of the star destroyer towards the emperor. It was mainly that force theme playing over it that got me. Just the tragedy of everything that happened. That scene has always stuck with me.....
Nonstop chills throughout the entire song, John Williams is truly a musical genius and has only gotten better through the years
I love how the force theme is sprinkled in there before the imperial march, always showing that Anakin was there the whole time, just buried.

Imagine this playing while Vader stands over Padme’s tomb
That would hit everyone in the theater like a truck
If Star Wars Theory includes Vader visiting Padmé's grave in his next fan-film, he should definitely have someone compose an adaptation of this music for that.
I’m saying I want to see in on a movie screen with this music blasting
This music is so powerful. I am now incredibly sad.
I'm pretty sure others have said it, but this music was played as a leitmotif rhyme for both Qui-Gon Jinn and Padmé Amidala's deaths. When Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul in _Episode I - The Phantom Menace_ with the resulting funeral afterward, Anakin Skywalker's fate to fall to the Dark Side had been sealed. And the funeral for Padmé where it all began on Naboo in _Episode III - Revenge of the Sith_ only serves to tie a bow on the fact that had Qui-Gon survived and trained Anakin, he might not have fallen at all.
Everyone talking about Vader and Padmé, but for me this will always be the funeral song for Qui Gon.
Revenge of the Sith had one of the best soundtracks. Williams did a fantastic job capturing the emotion of almost every single scene, especially near the end when we see the rise of Vader and the Empire.
The 20 first seconds are soo smooth, easy beautiful chords are played by trombones, gives goosebumps with headphones... waw
This is the song that played when George sold the series to Disney
Everything about the score of Revenge of the Sith is just utterly incredible. John Williams is simply unmatched in his compositional and arranging skill. I mean the fact he worked The Imperial March into this is just mind boggling and you can tell he is just as invested in the characters are we the audience are

Wow, we don't hear much about you. Tell me, do you have a wise tragedy in your backstory as well? I'd like to know.
I don’t remember how I reacted the first time I saw this film. But I do remember the circumstances. As with the other Star Wars movies, I was young, perhaps 5 or 6, and I watched them all with my dad while we were on vacation at a condo near a beach. Back then I only cared about special effects and music, and though I was able to follow the plot, it wasn’t the focal point to my young brain. Now, after having rewatched the films dozens of times each, the poetry of the cinematography and writing combined with the music is just incredibly beautiful.
Star Wars has created some wonderful memories in my life, from watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars with my dad every Saturday morning as we enjoyed breakfast, to rewatching the movies just to hear the soundtrack, to playing The Force Unleashed, the KOTOR games and Jedi Fallen Order for the first time. Even reading the books (mostly late at night), and the many hours spent consuming Wookieepedia’s exhaustive catalog of information just because I was curious. Not to mention that I listened to the soundtracks almost every night while I slept. My dad and I still watch pretty much every piece of Star Wars media, from The Mandalorian to the Clone Wars revival to the Bad Batch, whenever we have time.
I think one of the most important impacts Star Wars has had on my life is that I’m now a composer because of my fascination with film music-in particular, that of John Williams. I started playing violin when I was five so I could learn the theme to Schindler’s List, which I had heard in the car, and it only progressed from there, especially as I consumed a steady diet of high-quality film music. And if not for film music, I would never have discovered Wagner or Sibelius or Dvorak or Mahler or Rachmaninoff or Debussy or Ravel! Now, I’ve drifted away from film music stylistically, preferring an admittedly French approach to harmony, in contrast to the very rich Austro-Germanic tradition of film scores. But I come back to it often, because it grounds me and reminds me of one of the reasons I am so obsessed with writing music.
So thank you, George Lucas.
Thank you, John Williams.
And thank you, Dad.

What I found annoying about "fans" was how they complained about Vader screaming "Noooooooo" when he found out Padme was dead. They say it was out of character for Vader. No offence, but that was a stupid claim. He just became Vader and found out he lost everything when trying to save her. Her death broke him, pushing Anakin deep down and replaced as Vader
