Yes, there was one. I can't remember the scene. I just remember hearing it and thinking, "ah, there's our boy, Willie!"

There was one thing I found kind of interesting. Anakin and Padme always talk about their "baby" in the singular. Obviously, neither knew that she was pregnant with twins. I like how that ties into ROTJ when Vader realizes "Sister! So you have a twin sister! Obi Wan was wise to hide her from me." I just remember reading before seeing the movie about how Anakin is told in ROTS that Padme is pregnant. And I was like, well how could he not remember the babies she was going to have when he becomes Vader and then just hunt them down from the very beginning? So GL hides it under the guise that neither knew she had twins. Even if he thought she still gave birth, one would be safe. But GL (and, thus, Obi Wan and Bail) even went a step further by still making her appear pregnant during the funeral procession. GL took that potential plothole and corked it right up. And I think he did a very decent job of it, too.
