Star Wars: 10 Things That STILL Don’t Make Sense

1. How Did Anakin Not Clock That His Wife Was Pregnant With Twins?

While expecting someone to be aware of the fact that their partner is carrying not one, but two babies within them, when the mother herself seemingly isn't aware of that knowledge may seem a bit odd, Anakin Skywalker wasn't any old average Joe.

After all, it's demonstrated time and time again that Force users possess the ability to sense the lives of others from halfway across the galaxy, as seen when Palpatine senses his new apprentice is in danger from Coruscant when Lord Vader is battling with his one-time master on Mustafar.

So, would it have been too much of a stretch for Anakin to clock the fact that his beloved Padmé was actually set to give birth to a couple of lil' Skywalkers when she was literally stood right in front of him? Vader even went on record to admit that he could "feel" that Amidala was alive before her untimely end, so why couldn't he "feel" the two lifeforms within her?

Plus, the fact that Yoda and Obi-Wan were also unable to sense that there were two babies onboard (until being told moments before their birth) seems to suggest that this lot weren't as connected to the Living Force as they thought.
