Thank you! I see you understand why the "Nooo" had to stay in my version. Having Padme live is what dictated the direction I took the entire film.

When I first saw Q2's edit, I was impressed at the idea, appreciating how it corrected something that stuck in my craw from day one. Then I found Corigar's cut, which downplayed Anakin's fears of Padme's death as a motivation for him to join the dark side. These two things support each other, and that's what formed the core idea for my Ep3 edit.

The one thing that would have been nice to have is some way to include Padme, or a mention of her, when the rest are talking about splitting up the twins. I considered including some distant weeping in the background, but that's pretty clumsy. The way it's set up, it's sort of a point of tension about what shape Padme is in until we see her on Alderaan. The altered medical droid dialogue ties up the loose end by setting us up to expect her to not survive into the next film.
