I said that Lucas has confirmed Padme will not die in Episode III.
Just out of curiosity, when/where did he state this. It seems sort of a big spoiler for him to be doling out now.
Anyways, I think if Padme was alive, Vader would find her, that jsut my opinion, Anakin portrayed as highly possessive, especially of her, I doubt he would ever stop searching for her, but we'll see.
As for Leia remembering her mom, so many OT lines have been reinterrpreted by the PT I wouldn't be surprised if this plays out very differently then what people expect. I mean if Padme was on Alderaan why didn't Vader jsut go get her?
The way I could see the memory thing being handled is that either Luke has already been taken away, or he is the second to be born, and Padme is holding Leia, and we get a nice close up of each of them locking eyes, a tear roles down padmes cheek, as long as she didn't share a similar moment with Luke, I could buy that as Leia's memory, epsecially since she has the force.
