Put it this way.

I've never really liked ROTJ that much but one thing I did latch onto in 1983 was that one fleeting mention of Leia/Luke's mother.

It created possibilities that the mind could play with (like the words "the Clone Wars" did until we found out it was just an excuse for cut and paste CGI battles).

You get enough of a scenario to think about and nothing more.

Leia is clearly meant to be old enough to form lasting memories but too young to hold significant details (2 to 4 years old).

Knowing that Leia is hidden from Vader and Palpatine those must have been a dangerous 2 to 4 years, full of peril and the possibility of drama.

If ROTS had killed Padme in an interesting way which explained why Leia remembers things differently I wouldn't mind surrendering that potential.

But as she does hardly anything in the film other than obsess over her child murdering/spouse abusing greedy, needy traitor of a husband and gives up the will to live after giving birth to two vulnerable children. I am more protective of that Jedi moment.

Indeed I'm more protective of that Jedi moment than anything I can think of in the PT as currently seen.

Couldn't agree more.
