Do we know if Palps is aware of Anakins marriage (any solid spoilers)?
Palps isnt fond of Padme in TPM and AOTC and I wonder if Palps finishes Padme off while Anakin is gettin toasted-might explain how Palps is there to recue Vaders charred ass so quick. Then when Anakin is told that he had killed Padme we would know he'd been tricked and hate Sidious even more.
I'm wondering if Palps did know of Anakins marriage would he approve? A single Vader is surely of more use than a loved-up Vader.
