Never posted before in here but I have been following this edit.

I am so glad you are thinking of doing away with the death of Padme. It has annoyed me to no end that she dies of a broken heart. I mean seriously, we all know 100s of people that have ended relationships and no one has died from it.

Padme living at the end works fine. We as the audience don't need to know what happens to her. Just that she goes into hiding on Alderaan. In ROTJ we are told she died when Leia was very young. Thus it works and does not contradict the OT.

So thank you cutter, I hope you can make it work.

I don't think you need to cut Anakin saying "you died in childbirth". As a wise Jedi Master once said.. "always in motion is the future".
