The only I don't understand is how it makes it more sad and tragic if she LIVED.....as opposed to if she DIED. And he killed her......I mean, so far in our editting ideas for episode III we decided to alter the moment of her death because of the fatal force choke from anakin.....as opposed to a "broken heart". It's interesting to change up anything, but I just don't see how it's more sad if her story disappeared after her staged death. I find the fact that she had to die to be the extra "layer" of emotion to the film...next to anakin turning to vader.
