i like that, definately feasible and it would still mean Padme would die (im still hoping that will be the final reason Anakin turns to the dark side, i just dont see what else he cares about so much it could turn him)

That is what I've always thought. Here is the actual dialog...

 

LUKE: Leia... do you remember your mother? Your real mother?

 

LEIA: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.

 

LUKE: What do you remember?

 

LEIA: Just...images, really. Feelings.

It certainly opens the door for the story to go that way.

I have heard that anywhere you could read the script about the Obi Wan - Anakin fight. And in this scene Padme probably would be killed.

 

I read she's not on that planet with them when it happens.

 

I think no matter what happens there are going to be a lot of unhappy people with questions for GL.

I actually was discussing this very subject the other day!

 

Here's my 2 cents . . .

 

Keep with me as I am going a long way to show how Leia and the ROTJ dialogue would work!

 

From what I have read/heard about ROTS is that Padme goes off to lead a Republic mission that is set up by Palpatine. When she is on this mission Padme gets a side quest going where she leaves where she is supposed to be, and in doing so, lives another day. To everyone except Padme's immediate goup, she is dead. Killed off by the Confederate forces.

 

Palpatine uses this to fuel Anakin's aggression, which tests Kenobi's ability to control the soon to be Dark Lord. Padme would be the only thing holding Anakin together. Palpatine knows this, and with her dead, he could turn him in an instant. Anakin, clouded by hate and rage looses his connection to the light , which could have aided him in finding Padme. So after his perceived failure to save his mom, and now Padme, he has had it with the Jedi constraining him. I am sure Anakin views the Jedi as having kept him from being there to help those he loved. So he pushes his power until Kenobi decides to draw the line. They fight and Anakin is believed dead.

 

At this time Padme makes it back to the Republic to find out out Anakin is dead. (Check out the terror/shocked face she has in the Trailer!) I would also think in ferreting out Palpatine, the fact that everyone thinks Padme is dead would be used by the good guys.

 

While Anakin is getting his upgrade to Sith Lord, the true nature of Palpatine is revealed and Padme, among others, are taken away and hidden from the power of the new Emperor. This would make sense as Padme has been on the top of Palpy's hit list for quite sometime. I would also think that Palpatine would arrogantly believe that he has finally killed Padme and try not confirm it. (Luke did say his overconfidence was his weakness)

As well, learning that Padme is alive would cause Anakin to falter as a Sith Lord.

 

So I think that George is using the tragic theme that both Padme and Anakin never know the fate of the other. Which would explain why Leia remembers her mother sad. The loss of her love would cause he deep grief. As for Anakin, it only fuels his hatred and power. Those who killed his only love will pay. It would explain why he is absolutely ruthless. He has nothing more to lose in his life.

 

Perhaps the answer is even simpler. After fleeing to Alderran Padme dies during the twins birth and Leia remembers not Padme, but rather Bail Organa's wife. Mrs. Organa would be sad that these children would never know their mother.

 

Well, that what I think!

(too long:D) Perhaps Leia didn't want to speak about her mother because she had seen her dieing?

This all sounds a bit wierd...I mean we know that Episode III takes place 3 years after Episode II. Padme is pregnant there, last stage and ready for giving birth to Luke and Leia. Padme dies in RotS, which means that Luke and Leia are born before the end of Ep.3....but still...a child's memory starts to develope after his/her second or third age...so its quite wierd that Leia got some memories of her mother (Padme) :eek:

Yeah in real life that seems wierd, but in real life there is no such thing as the Force.

Actually if padme could have held her before she died leia could have gathered those emotions through the force and still remember them till now.Thats what i think

If that were true then luke would have memories of his mother,but in ROTJ he states that he has no memories of her.

 

However it is well known that different Jedi have different strengths with the Force. Luke has strengths in one area, Leia has strengths in other areas... make sense?

LUKE: Leia... do you remember your mother? Your real mother?

 

LEIA: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.

 

LUKE: What do you remember?

 

LEIA: Just...images, really. Feelings.

 

Why have people been saying that she remembers her adopted mother? Luke clearly says: 'Your REAL mother'. As in not the mum who adopted you.

 

Also she says: 'She died when I was very young'. She doesn't say: She died right when I was born.

 

She was adopted to be hiden from vader, but who says that she dies?

 

I agree with lynk though. Remember that Leia could sence Luke's presence at besbin and the death star and knew about them being brother and sister. Surly this means that her main strenght in the force is the power to feel through the force. Therefore she should be able to remember feelings too.
