Maybe... she didn't even die. Maybe she faked her death and later hid on Alderaan, where she lived with Leia for a few days. However, Palpatine finds out she's alive and sends Boba Fett after her. He chases her across the Alderaan mountains until she eventually finds a trunk to hides in. But Boba Fett eventually finds her and kills her.

Sounds like a Lucas explanation™©® to me.

the thing that i liked 10 years ago, is that everything related SW was cool and top quality (the role playing games, dark forces, jedi knight, x wing alliance, the art of SW books....); there was only 3 movies in one form, the products were rare but cool (well maybe except for the SW figures on steroids!), when you met someone who was a SW fan it was like some kind of brotherhood: "you like SW? you're cool!" now it's more like: "you like SW? even the PT?...."

There is one other thing I feel should be brought up, especially for those of you who do not want to accept the "force connection".

What about pictures? As in photos, holosgrams, whatever? Leia would constantly be aware that she was an a dopted child, at least from her early teens and on ('cos the Organa's are black, see? Genetics still holds even in the PT). It would only make sense for her parents to prepare her a bit for it, maybe by showing her images and telling her about her real mother - they would obviously keep schtum about her father, due to him being the person who hunts down and kills Jedi all over the galaxy. Anyway, I dunno about all of you, but when it comes to my earliest recollections, I have a hard time knowing what I actually remember and what has been told to me afterwards, later on in my childhood.

Cannot Leia's recollection simply be explained with the fact that her parents had access to imagery of Padmé and knew her well to want Leia to know her? Owen and Beru never met the real parents, are most likely quite intimidated by the situation. They would not want to complicate things by telling Luke stories of a royal past and thus make up the stories about a less glorious father, possibly with some input from Obi-Wan.

Of course, this bring us to another plothole... How the heck didn't someone in the Imperial camp notice that Leia (who obviously isn't the biological daughter of the Organas) looks a wee bit like her mum and dad while she runs around the senate, whipping up support for the Alliance? She's not the kind of politician you don't notice, at least not as far as we know.

Lucas didn't have the original destroyed. It is locked away in the archives. The official site confirmed that Kevin Burns, who did the Empire of Dreams documentary, was given access to it for use in the documentary. However, that segment was ultimately not included in the documentary.
