Bobill, this was an extremely moving story. It was just...breathtaking. I could really see it happening that way. I adored the way you portrayed Padme and Vader, who not only will carry his love for her with him for all time, but now also has to carry the guilt of being responsible for her death. I loved the analogy of the "water's rage" - I thought it fit in perfectly with the story. Ironic that the same water we need to live is the water that could kill us in its fury. After all, that's what happened to Padme. Keep up the good work! :p

Fabulous reading, very touching and sad. You can see how Vader's anger would grow, only it would be an anger at his own self as his words caused Padme to take her own life.

Bobill!! yay! You submitted!
*whispers to herself* maybe I wasn't a bad beta after all...

very beautiful and compelling! The symbolism is perfect, with a slightly more rational ending...well a reason for her suicide at least :)

Bobill- tell your cover artist that he/she did a wonderful job! Vader looks really COOL!! *glee*

Interesting conclusion to padme's life that she does not die and therefore could be included in the classic trilogy era.

Bobill, I am stunned that such a short story could move me that much. At times you hit on the very essence of the Star Wars mythos. Which is to say: if it doesn't turn out that way in Ep3, it should have. Wow, I really didn't want to begin to think of Anakin and Padme's final parting yet. I have been avoiding it; thinking mostly about Anakin and Obi-wan's duel, transformations of man and Empire, and the revealing of Palpatine. But your story cuts right through all of that and gives fair and great weight to Padme's true importance. Absolutely excellent.

To spare her life but to send her to kessel shows how strong and yet how weak papltines hold over him truely was.

Very breath taking!

You have true talent hiding in you. Have you ever thought about trying to write a book and get it published, or have you already done so?

I would say it was a very sad yet very joyous, or exciting at the same time. *pauses* Very much hate in it. But that's okay, hate is a good thing. Everybody hates, I hate, you hate. Hating keeps the society together.

BY the way I'm new here and not very active, as in posts a lot. So you probably won't hear from me again. Think of this as my final words before I go. Sounds like I'm dieng or something. Actually I am, we all are. Did you know you're dieng as soon as you are born? Of course you did, why did I ask?

Anyway back to your work. Very, very...good.

This is a positively brilliant piece. It also stays true to the fact that Leia did remember her mother in ROTJ.

Good story! The idea of Padme killing herself doesn't really appeal to me, but it worked well here.

But for the story to really work, I do have to make the assumption that all those stormtroopers present were summarily executed. ;)

That was really, really well written. I don't think that Padme's death will happen like that, with her commiting suicide, but your story was very moving. It was one of those stories that you enjoy reading even though it makes you so depressed. You've definetely got talent.

i really enjoyed this story. i honestly think that with all that padme went through that either of two things happened to her: 1-the emperor kills her without vader's knowledge, or 2-she kills herself. the dialogue fits in very well with the characters and the story is credible.
good job!

Very touching story though, my mouth was open if that meant anything. I loved the part about water, deep I tell ya. He was more machine than human, that reference was cool. I must say though, some phrases were interesting...yeah that's the word...I'll stick with interesting.
