The decision to kill off BOTH Jigsaw and Amanda was a mistake. It propelled the next movies into filling itself with increasingly illogical, nonsensical flashblacks as a way to keep Tobin Bell as Jigsaw. And I know he has his fans but Hoffman was never as good as Amanda and his characterization became more one-note as the series went along.

Leigh Whannell killed off Jigsaw and Amanda because he wanted the series to end on III. Little did he know the lengths the studio would go to continue the successful franchise. SAW X actually worked because it was a prequel and offered its fans a different take on Jigsaw.
