thehefnerMore than one early review for SW:ROTS wrote Padme's line in the Senate as, "So this is how democracy ends- to thunderous applause." A powerful line, I thought. Then I actually see the movie last Wednesday, and the line I hear is: "So this is how liberty dies- to thunderous applause."
There was a fair bit of press about Lucas' "politics" influencing the movie or some such stuff, and since more than one reviewer wrote her line the first way, I'm wondering if maybe the line wasn't redubbed. So my question is, did anyone else hear the supposedly original line? I think the "democracy ends" is a far more powerful and poignant line, not to mention a teeny bit relevant, if one were to maybe see things that way.
