very radical idea for rotj - i was thinking it would be cool if mon mothma in rotj could be replaced by a padme-alive, but has been in hiding character perhaps, but that would require some scene of her being reunited with leia and luke and explaining vader to them (cool, but impossible). - and of course scenes alluding to her death being cut.

i'd love it to be the show down between mother and father aswell to some degree.

A stray thought for reducing ROTS trajedy.

Move some of the meddroid-Obiwan footage to after the birth and have the droid say the only hope is to place her in carbon-freeze, though she would be much too weak to ever revive.

It would mean an entirely different voice for the droid in a fan-edit.

Stray thought.
