First off that scene always bugged me from the very beginning. “Do you remember you mother? Your REAL mother?”

Wait, Leia is adopted? And she knows it? And LUKE knows it? When the #$%# did the AUDIENCE know it?

So why do we think she’s talking about the Mother to Eventually Be Padme? They lied to her about who her father was. Even if they never told her that he was Darth Vader they didn’t tell her that he was a Jedi Knight either. I can’t imagine the name Anakin Skywalker ever came up.

So why aren’t we assuming that she’s talking about her first adopted mother (presumably Bail’s wife at the time) who she never knew wasn’t her “REAL” mother?

Honestly, these two kids have been lied to about their parents from day one. But we somehow expect Leia to have the totally real and accurate information about her mother? From a single line of dialog that comes totally out of nowhere?

There’s a ton of stuff that the prequels messed up. But part of that is because Darth Vader being Luke’s father makes little sense and being Luke AND Leia’s father makes NO sense.
