[The look--one he's intimately familiar with any time Padme comes up in discussion or otherwise--just isn't enough. Overwhelmed as he already is with the sudden change of pace of arrival, combined with a lot of difficult-to-swallow surprises, he gets a response like this, and something in him cracks.
He would be ripping the galaxy apart to put this all back to rights, right now even, had he the resources at his disposal. (Luckily, that's not the case.) The idea that he has to suck it up and wait, hinging hope on the case that none of what he was told upon arrival is true, and worse, that he'll get used to it enough to talk about it so openly...it's woefully not enough.
And if anything has been unfathomable to this point, it's that.]
