It would have worked! And been better!

SOCK PUPPET THEATRE VOICED BY FOUR YEAR OLDS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!

But yes, your theory would have been too. Frankly, I always thought something like that was what had happened given Leia's memories of her.

I mean, like you say, I can accept that she ends up terribly depressed and sad and eventually that plays a part in her death, a kind of gradual, much as I hate to say it, losing the will to live until something knocks her for six and she just doesn't get better. But Lucas, dude, that doesn't happen in the space of FIVE MINUTES.

Seriously, people would be keeling over every time they got a bit bored. Maybe Vader should do an informercial.

"Hello, I'm Lord Vader and I want to talk to YOU about losing the will to live. Every year over 600,000 Imperial Citizens lose the will to live. Don't leave YOUR children motherless. Talk to your incompetent medical droid today. They may not be able to detect internal injuries due to getting choked by the power of the dark side, but every medical droid shipped from approved Imperial production facilities is fully equipped to diagnose LOSING THE WILL TO LIVE."
