It's too bad that George didn't commission a Star Warsy, or whatever you call star wars fanatics, to go over the scripts to look for inconsisticies. I think Parmount does that with it's Star Trek projects. I think George could of found a way to have Padme die a bit later, maybe just have a text on the screen 2 - years later. Or something. Anakins reaction still could of been just as strong maybe.
