- Leia remembers Padme…but how? One easy fix could be that when she refers to “images” she produces a locket with a picture of her mother and gives it Luke, something regal that Bail Organa may have given her when she was a little girl.
I really like this.
I’m usually against putting ANYTHING from the PT into the OT, but this really works without you having to have even seen the PT. You’ll know who the lady is via the current conversation.
I think Mark and Carrie look down enough times in the scene to make the locket inserts work.Just spitballing here but maybe instead of a locket it could be the necklace thing anakin gave padme?
In the long form of this quote I also suggest this.
Something I’m considering doing in my edit (if I ever get to it) is removing the line from Leah about remembering anything altogether.
“Do you remember your mother? Your real mother?”
“Why are you asking me this?”
“I have no memory of My mother… I never knew her.”
It also makes Luke seem more distant and distraught.
And with the slowness of the scene there is plenty of space and time for it to still seem natural. My only concern is having the word ‘mother’ said three times so close together might come off a bit odd… But would that be noticeable If I wasn’t looking for it?
