EU excuses. The reality is that ROTS was at odds with the OT here, just as the PT is often at odds with the OT.

EU Reasons. In this case, it makes sense, I like it, so I am willing to accept it.

An EU excuse would be to say that Leia remembering her mother in detail is a result of Padme creating a Force connection with her daughter.

Gotta say, Anakin writhing on the table in that scene is odd as it always stays in various people's edits. He's screaming. This is a problem as he's clearly not opening his mouth. If I ever do an edit, that's gotta go and be replaced by tortured gasps and weak, dying wheezes.

I noticed that from the very beginning. I thought it was his face being so burned and dried out that he could barely open his mouth. You can still get a groan out as he did with your mouth only slightly open.
