Didn’t Leia say that she had an adoptive mother in the ROTJ novel? Or do I remember that wrong?
It’s mentioned in the original film. Luke: “Leia… do you remember your mother? Your real mother?”
Right, that’s what I though. Owen is still Obi-Wan’s brother though according to the novel, so it’s still kind of funny that Lucasfilm would claim it was canon, even if they later changed that to mostly-canon.
The novel also has some funny, subtle inconsistencies such as Palpatine having a hard time remembering Yoda’s name and implying that he never personally met him, and so forth.
Are’t these novels still being published? I can imagine that reading them must be somewhat confusing for anyone who grew up with the PT. (I mean I did, but I read them because I wanted to experience the pre-PT canon of the OT. They actually contain quite a lot of interesting PT ideas from before Lucas actually made the PT films.)
