I suggested before showing Padme in labour (no mention of twins) but not including the naming and dying on the spot.

That way Padme can still die on Alderaan when Leia is a little girl and the identity of the child is still obscured.

Obscuring the identity of Vader has been covered but it seems more tricky to me (more ideas needed there).

I'm slowing working on an updated version of this idea...only I still show Padme giving birth-...well...sort of...it's kind of in the background...and you still don't know it's twins.

I then have the droid saying something like:

"the delivery took an unexpected toll on her body. She may not live very long."

"she's dying?"

"Slowly. It could be a few months...maybe a year."

Would something like this work? Thoughts?
