The conflict that occurred at the Tomb of Padmé Amidala is known as the battle at Padmé's tomb. It was a confrontation between Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith, and the Amidalans. These Amidalans were driven by a desire for retribution against the Sith Lord who was responsible for the death of Padmé Amidala, who had previously served as the queen and senator representing the planet Naboo, and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker. Unbeknownst to the Amidalans, Skywalker was still alive, having transformed into Vader. Vader, accompanied by his death trooper guard, battled his way through the Amidalans, eventually arriving at the tomb. Inside, he encountered Amidala's former handmaidens. Although the Dark Lord of the Sith was flooded with recollections of his shared history with Amidala, and found himself unable to bring himself to kill the handmaidens, he nonetheless overcame them and proceeded into the tomb.
