We don’t have a lot cases to
study or confirm this but i’d say no. The one case we do have is Padmé Amidala,
and she did not have any signs of external physical trauma in her throat.But rank
did have certain privileges, and Captain Typho had learned some things about
Padmé’s last hours. There were conflicting reports, of course, but all the autopsy reports were in agreement
on two things: that she had been strangled, and that the child had died
with her. But exactly how the former had been accomplished, no one was quite
sure. The evidence of strangulation had
been there, and obvious: the fractured hyoid bone, damage to the larynx, and
compression of the trachea were all clear indications of fatal throttling. But…
There were no signs of bruises on her
neck, no scratches or signs of congestion … no indication of exterior trauma at
all. Her throat had been pristine. It was as if she had somehow been choked to
death without physical contact. And there was only one power in the galaxy that
Typho knew of that could accomplish such a thing. The Force. [Coruscant
Nights_Street of Shadows by Michael Reaves]But take
this with a grain of salt because it directly contradicts the movie.Medically, she’s completely healthy. For reasons we can’t explain, we
are losing her. – Revenge of the Sith.If Padmé
had a fractured
hyoid bone or a damaged larynx why wouldn’t the medical droids recognize it? They
are so amazing they can save Anakin but they can’t identify a condition Earth’s
medicine can? I don’t buy it.
