I think it's maybe the difference in presentation? At least in the audio book, that is a terrified woman in pain begging for help. Other NPC revelations are intellectually tragic etc but personally, nothing came close to that poor woman.

I think of it like the destruction of Alderaan vs that sad ewok death in Jedi. We know a bajillion Alderaanians died but the scene that stuck with me as a kid was that one Ewok checking on and crying over his dead Ewok buddy.
