That is a great idea to make a list. Only because you listed this one for an example to work on, I would personally

OBJ: Continuity > ITEM: Leia’s Mother > MEDIA: EpIII/EpVI > ISSUE: Explicit contradiction > NOTES: Dies in childbirth EpIII, remembered as child EpVI > CONSENSUS SOLUTION: Hal9000’s living mother footage to be included in EpIII -or- Remove Leia remembering mother as child (remove dialogue). Padme dies EpIII

I add that as an alternate solution since story/plot wise it is better. It is strange, when you think of it, Padme takes one kid and “ditches” the other one. Story telling it is a bit better.

However, Hal and crew did a FANTASTIC job showing Padme surviving. kudos to Ridley adding the necklace so seamlessly with that scene.

I admit in general I prefer not touching the OT just to make the PT work. However, my views have changed, especially in this case since this project is to link ALL the Skywalker sage the best way possible. To be fair Return of the Jedi does need some editing, like the Luke & Leia conversation … and even Han’s portrayal after the Jaba Act!
