Maybe... she didn't even die. Maybe she faked her death and later hid on Alderaan, where she lived with Leia for a few days. However, Palpatine finds out she's alive and sends Boba Fett after her. He chases her across the Alderaan mountains until she eventually finds a trunk to hides in. But Boba Fett eventually finds her and kills her.

Sounds like a Lucas explanation™©® to me.
