Sad sad sad. Anakin was killed by a beast in the arena?

If this is 'not one of your better stories' I can't wait to read more. Excellent job- angst is hard to do, but you nailed it.

::cries::

That was sad, and I never thought I could say this, but you fit more emotion into that half a page then other people do in twelve page stories. Nice job.

That was interesting...I liked it, save for the part where Anakin DIES! (No...) Well, the technical SOULESS part of me appreciates the excellent plot, but mostly I'm sad that Anakin died.

I really like this story.

Haunting morbid and creepy, but touching and sad. I love the rhetorical questions in the second to last paragraph (we all know what really happened). It's very sad, but those questions make it extremely intirguing. In a way, it remainds me of the fascination I have when I read on eof Edgar Allen Poe's works. I really like this story. (oh, wait. I said that already)

this is so sad! beautifully written. i love the idea.

That's an interesting take. I think you're right - Padme's confession probably did given Anakin that extra oomph to fight Dooku. Nice AU exploration.

beautiful. i loved it. i was near tears! and in an odd, sort of alternate universe way, it sounded just like Padme. SO good!1

Wow. Now that's what i call a tear jerker. i was like misting over here, okay! that was really sad, but really good. so im taking he never became darth vader. and that's cool, except Ani died in the arena. this is very very good. you took padme and wrote her in the way i think she would act. great job. your a fantastic writer.

Not bad at all. Very good alternate setting and ideas. I liked that. Very good. Take care, keep writing, and may the Force be with you...always...
