I just think that some "problems" are beginning in the OT, see it as you will, but it is in these cases easier to "repair" the thing in the OT and accept the mess in the PTray_afraid said:

for the "Leia's mother / Padme"-Paradox: it all stands and falls with Luke's question "do you remember your mother?"
if one would cut that out, it just states as to why her foster-mother was sad => because she knew what happened to her mother ...
That's not a bad fix, but as always, I think it's better to change the PT to match the OT. No point in fixing something that ain't broke so it can try to fix something never worked.
I agree about many problems starting in Jedi, but I'll never "accept the mess in the PT". I'm all for Revisited making huge changes to ROTJ, but not to make it fit with the PT. Jedi has it's own problems that need fixing and changing, but the inconsistencies in the prequels aren't it's problem.
Honestly I'd be happy with dropping the sibling non-plot and have the Jedi end with Luke going off in search of "the other", though I don't know quite how that could be done. It would end the film with an un-finnished sub-plot, like ESB, but with no sequel to tie things up. However, where the ending of ESB leaves the audience with doubt and worry, it could leave the audience filled with hope and inspiration without tying things up too nicely as it shows that there are still adventures to be had.
