Queen Amidala
Ok so I just finished watching Return of the Jedi..Luke asked Leia.."Do you remember your mom...your real mom" and she says "Yes...I was young and she was very sad". So does Queen die in this Sith? If so how does she rememeber her Real mom?

Continuity is explained away by the idea that Leia somehow was able to "sense" her mother through the Force, even as a young baby
Don't you love this time of year?

), then Luke is born but Padme dies before she or he see each other.

I think there will still be a few questions unanswered, I guess that what happens when you start the prequels when Anakin is really young, there isn't enough time to work out all hte small things. Personally I would of liked more focus on the droids.

The whole reason for the subform is for people to be able to ask questions like this...

Are you honestly expecting people to comb through a 100+ page 'picture' thread on the off chance that the Leia/Padme relationship is discussed?
Second. She flat out says she remembers her being sad. Would be a big goof if Lucas F's this up

1. SPOILER WARNING: Leia is born first, while Amidala is still awake/aware. It's possible that Leia has a vague 'Force memory' of this moment, which would be consistent with the adjectives she uses to describe her mom.
2. Leia could be referring to her 'other' mother -- Bail's wife.
Either way, I don't think this is a huge deal. Just one of the dangers of writing things out-of-order, with decades separating the various stories.

i'll buy the whole force memory... or she is force sensative to feel the essence of her mothers last feelings of sadness.

It can't be explained away by making her reference apply to Bail Organa.
She clearly indicates her mom dies when she was very young.
Perhaps instead of having
they could have
This is just another example of the inconsistencies that Lucas is ignoring. Maybe it'll work out in the film, and I hope it does...

That being said, I'm sure the 'force memory' of the moment of birth makes more sense. But, ultimately, this just is a result of (a) writing the stories out of order, decades apart and (b) the script to RotJ not being all that well thought-out.

"But Obi said that Anakin was Killed by Vader? WTF?!!?"

Can't read too deeply into "my mom died when I was very young, but I remember her being very sad."
It's silly to blame fans for something Lucas did.

Well it's pretty much the truth.
she dies at child birth.. that's when leia is very young.
I remember her being very sad... which she will be since anakin force choked her.
You can very easily toss it to be a "force memory" of her remembering all the way back to her birth. Though that's usually not acceptable to most fans.

FYI, Luke is born first I believe. At least, he is in the novel. But as she's giving birth, Padme's going, "If it's a girl name her Leia" so I guess even in the womb, she had that "connection" already or something.
