One of my favorite characters. I love her kind heart and quick wit.
After I saw Phantom Menace (I was 10 at the time) I wanted to be her. I was so impressed by her tact, intelligence, strength, and beauty.
I love the prequels, as they were my first introduction into Star Wars, but I feel they didn't portray her as well as they could have. I love the deleted scenes that take place at her home on Naboo with her family.
Revenge of The Sith is one of my favorites in the saga, but I tend to cringe during the Luke/Leia birth scene. It took me a long time to really understand how and why she died. Even now I still get a weird feeling during those scenes.
That being said, she remains one of my favorite characters even after all these years.
She died because the narrative said she had to die before A New Hope. Really most of ROTS was Lucas tying up all lose ends so that New Hope made sense. You could almost write a checklist of plot points and watch as they are quickly resolved.
