"You're a good person, don't do this!"
-Padme Amidala


Upon reuniting with Amidala, Vader discovered that Kenobi had revealed Vader's dark deeds in the Jedi Temple to her. Though he did not deny the accusation, Vader maintained that Kenobi was only attempting to turn her against him. Amidala tried to reason with him, convince him to retire from public service with her to raise their child, but Vader countered with the idea to overthrow Palpatine and set the both of them up in his place. Shocked and horrified, Amidala refused, stating that he was going down a path she could not follow. She pleaded with him to come back, promising she loved him. However, unbeknownst to Amidala, Kenobi had stowed away on her ship to find Vader, and at that moment he appeared from the ship.

Upon seeing his former master, Vader thought that Amidala had betrayed him and brought Kenobi to kill him. Overwhelmed by his anger and rage, he lashed out with the Force, choking his wife into unconsciousness. Kenobi also tried to reason with his former pupil, but Vader refused to listen, too corrupt to be turned from the dark side.

"Anakin, my allegience is to the Republic, to democracy!"
"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy."
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must."
"You will try."
-Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader
