I don't know if this has been brought up before, Adywan, but I was reading from your wordpress site about your consideration of Padme's death potentially conflicting with Leia's memories of her mother, and I don't think there is a conflict. Most adoptees think of their adoptive parents as their real parents, and it is from Queen Breha Organa than Leia gets her Princess-ness... in other words, Breha is the mother in her memories.

I'm not sure what Queen Breha's fate is posed as within the expanse of continuity, but it is entirely possible she died while Leia was young somehow. Is there any reason to suspect Leia wasn't referring to Queen Breha when she spoke of her mother?

Anyway, I just created this account to post this, so I won't be replying to comments. But I thought it might save you some work, and also avoid closing off a whole plot arc involving Leia and Breha; her childhood on Alderaan has always interested me (not that your work would explore Leia/Breha stories, but I think we all like to make continuity forward compatible ;) ).
