I know the prequels aren’t the best movies in the Galaxy, but I thought this scene was very powerful. The demises of Anakin and Padmé were paralleled so beautifully that it makes this my favorite scene in ROTS.

Her death symbolizes the death of Anakin. To be honest , I teared up because imagine if he had just left when she said let's go live on Naboo

Funny enough, the best scene with these two is when they’re not even together. With Padme looking at the burning Jedi temple and Anakin on the other side looking back.

Edit: sorry, I messed up. The scene I meant took place right before Anakin went after Windu. The shot of Padme looking at the burning temple was obviously after this scene.

In addition to this parallel, the part where we see Padme holding the charm Anakin made her in her casket gets me every time.
