Why Did Palpatine Want Padme Dead in Attack of the Clones?

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones includes a Separatist plot to kill Senator Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman), forcing the Republic and the Jedi to protect her from her would-be assassins. Much of the film’s plot revolves around Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) becoming Padmé’s bodyguard, taking her to Naboo, Tatooine, and Geonosis as he tries to keep her from falling into Separatist clutches. Nevertheless, the film never answers why Chancellor Sheev Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), the true power behind the Separatists, wanted Amidala dead in the first place.A series of bounty hunters attempt to kill Padme in Attack of the Clones, working on orders that go all the way up to Darth Sidious, who is secretly the Chancellor of the Republic. Count Dooku (Christopher Lee), Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison), and Zam Wesell (Leeanna Walsmann) all work toward Padmé’s death in the film before ultimately proving unsuccessful. Even so, none of these individuals ever fully understood the intricacies of Palpatine’s plan to take over the galaxy. While Star Wars never fully addresses the purpose of Palpatine’s plot, the Sith Lord certainly had a deeper reason for targeting Senator Amidala during the events of Attack of the Clones.While Attack of the Clones saw the birth of the Republic’s clone army, not everyone was on board with creating a new fighting force. Even before the Senate was aware of the Kaminoans’ clone army, different factions had emerged in order to debate the merits of creating a new Grand Army of the Republic in the wake of the Separatist movement. Padmé Amidala had come forth to voice her opposition to the creation of such an army, becoming a leading figure in the anti-war movement. In fact, this was the very reason that she had traveled to Coruscant in the first place, with designs on casting an anti-war ballot in the upcoming Senate vote.RELATED: The Jedi in the Star Wars Prequels Were No Match for the SithRELATED: What Is Star Wars’ Disaster Lineage?
