I just posted this on the Prequel Redux thread but it kind of needs to go here too.

Bingowings said : One of the problems with ROTS is Padme's death and there have been various suggestions kicked around like her dying later in a flow of time montage or just dying in more dignified way.

What if she dies (no giving up but she is too ill to survive and dies after giving birth) but she disappears.

A total mystery to Ben but not to Yoda who already is getting messages from beyond.

That way Leia can see her in dreams and images of her ghostly form as a little girl (evidence of her nascent Force powers).

When Luke sees his father Ben and Yoda Leia sees her Mother and father reunited (she doesn't know Ben or Yoda so doesn't see them).

Think Curse Of The Cat People.

Too wacky for the room?
