And until ROTJ:R comes out I have to be constantly reminded of the gaping plot hole concerning Leia's true mother.

What plot hole is that?

I assume he's talking about the plot hole in ROTS (not ROTJ) where Padme dies before Leia could have had memories of her.  Continuity with the existing films wasn't given a lot of consideration in the PT.  Obviously this plothole could have been avoided by having Padme live for a few more years after giving birth.  But I'm not sure how Adywan could swing that sort of change.

EDIT: I guess he could be saying that this bit in ROTJ could be edited out in ROTJ:R to effectively remove the plothole from ROTS if you're watching them as a complete saga.  But editing one movie as a way to fix continuity problems in another movie seems a little backward to me.
