But when you couple that with the fact that she just had twins 2 seconds earlier, it makes it completely selfish. And that's not what the movie was trying to get across. It was supposed to be tragic.I think that assumes it was simply her choice to die and it happened in such a cheap way. I prefer to look at it that the preceding events were just a great blow to her heart and she couldn't go on anymore, which is a pretty well-established tradition in the epic romances and tales Star Wars (thinks it does anyway) takes its cues from.
Well-established tradition or not, it simply wasn't the right decision for the character of Padmé Amidala.
