Yeah, I think it has a lot of potential. A near-flawless idea to preserve continuity AND make her death more believable.

1. Good point. It'd be nice to hear this in the dialogue. Maybe I can mess with Bail's lines a little bit (or find somebody who can do a good imitation)

2. I think it's just the costume design, and the pillow she's against. It just seems... out of place, I guess. Maybe too medieval. Some background replacement would do a great deal of good for it, but that costume is just a tad too frilly.

3. Perhaps her injuries at the hands of Anakin could have something to do with it. Might explain things a little.
