My first objection to secrecy is I have not heard nor can I imagine any ending to Episode III wherein the main character's horriffic climactic fate is left unseen/ambiguous/confusing enough that secrecy could be maintained in any enoyable way.

Good to know. So if we could find the right way to do it, you wouldn't be opposed?

Despite my... philisophical objections to maintaining secrecy, for the purposes of playing I'm not going to discount the idea out of hand.

BUT... we're talking the major character point for the primary protaganist of the entire PT. Imagine "Citizen Kane" where the meaning of "Rosebud" wasn't explianed, or "Gone With the Wind" where we don't know how Rhett feels about Scarlett at the ending. The both become lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I've heard the ideas of multiple 'Darth Vaders' and having an extra bad apprentice in the background to confuse the viewer, ambiguous lines of dialong with double meaning, or having Anakin vanish and Vader show up with no explaination, all seem extremely unsatisfying.

NotPadme not giving birth on screen is easy. Hiding the fate of the twins is a piece of cake.

Somehow not revealing the climax of the main character's arc, as well as what should be the emotional and action climax of the entire trilogy sounds impossible.
