Talk:Padmé Amidala/@comment-30809834-20170315145025

Although she married Anakin Skywalker, Padmé never publicly took the surname "Skywalker", in order to keep Anakin from being expelled from the Jedi Order and to protect them both from any vulnerabilities this marriage would bring them. Despite there marriage being a secret, somehow Palpatine discovered thism as as he would later use Anakin's fear of losing his wife to death, to turn him into the ruthless Sith Lord Darth Vader.
