The following lines make me wonder if George Lucas had Othello's "what have I done?" scene of the play (Act V, Scene ii) in mind when he wrote the Mustafar section of the screenplay:
"Blow me about in winds! Roast me in sulphur!
Wash me in steep-down gulfs of liquid fire!
O Desdemona! Desdemona! dead!"
-- Othello after strangling his wife (who manages to recover long enough to deliver a few editorial remarks before definitively dying).
