Queen Amidala of the Naboo
Howzit from South Africa,
I have seen all 4 films many times and love them. I have basically read the whole starwars.com database and the posts on this site.
Queen Amidala is the mother of Luke and Leia. In episodes 4 and 5 she is not mentioned at all. In episode 6 she is mentioned but in hardly any detail.
I mean do Luke and Leia know that apart from their father, they have a queen for a mother? From the planet of Naboo?
Naboo and the fact that their mother was a queen were not mentioned at all. This is a heritage of theres for the movies do not mention. I find this irritating.
Queen Amidala is a main character in episode 1,2 and 4 yet her title and background are not mentioned at all in the last 3 episodes.
Please respond to my message, cheers.

That is absolutely deliberate. Luke and Leia have no idea of their heritage.
The nature of Luke's mother is one of those off-topic areas that GL defined years ago that merchandisers could not even speculate about.
There is some rumour that Amidala is going to be beleived ling dead before the end of Episode III and she will be in Padme persona for much of it. Certainly it looks like there is a different Queen.

This is true, but I believe we will see Padmé make the greatest sacrifice in giving up her children so that they may someday lead the fight to reclaim the galaxy from the grip of the Emperor.
As Obi Wan told Luke, the emperor knew that the offspring of Anakin Skywalker would be a threat to him.

Yeah, Obi-Wan did say that. I wonder if sometime in EP III Palpatine will ask Anakin(after the transformation) if Padme had become inpregnated and Anakin will(knowingly?) say no. That would be a pretty cool scene to witness.

Very true. The Emperor new of Luke by ROTJ, Vader obviously knew in ESB. When exactly do you think they found out about the children..

Actually, The Emperor clearly knew of Luke by ESB as well.
I suppose we can be pretty sure that Vader knew his wife was pregnant but not that she had twins.
I think Vader simply found out about Luke when he heard the Skywalker name being banded about as a hero by the rebels.

It does seem sadly ironic that Padme should achive all these things (and at such a young age) yet her own children never know who and what she was.

i'm sure that vader will have known that his child(ren) were alive somewhere in the galaxy, but that pursuing them would not only be an exercise in futility, but distractive to the emperor's ultimate goals; so he did not allow him to do so. however, i also believe that the children will be made to appear killed in some sort of battle or something, to make it easier to hide them
but i think i'm gonna cry when padme dies. not to sound sappy, but dim and ratcat got me thinking of that climactic scene.

I think we'll all bubble when Padme dies. I still cry like a sissy girl when Ben gets slaughtered in ANH.

At least that is what he wanted. Amidala will be VERY tragic...
I get a bit lumpy when Qui-Gon goes down.

I didn't get all misty eyed when Qui-Gon died..but I'm sure I'll cry for Padme..I just can't imagine how GL is going to do it.. Leia has to be old enough to remember her when she dies. Are we absolutely certain that we will see her death?..or do you think it might end with Padme's saying goodbye to Luke instead?..

No way, we have to see her die. Lucas couldn't leave us hanging like that, he will have to tie up most loose ends, especially that one. Leia says she doesn't really remember her mother, just "images" "feelings", and those she probably feels through the Force, even though she doesn't know she has it.

I reckon less will be tied up than some people may like.

Yeah, but if she lives, some bonehead author may write her into the EU.

Always a possibility...
I always understood, by the way, that Luke's Mother was one of the 'off-limits' zones that GL created after ROTJ to reduce the chance of later conflict. Howeverm, readig through a summary of EU books, I see there is one in which Luke visits his mother's homeworld.
Is this actually true? If so, that's another nail into the EU...

They always leave the door open that its not really her home world, so I guess with EP I, we find out its not true.

Cheers. Right-oh. They still would have done better to stay away from that, though.

I think it might be a nice cliff hanger for future audiences if Padme doesn't die in EP3. Think about it...you see her take off with Leia and wonder what ever happens to them..and then, all the way in EP6, you find out her fate.

OH, she has to die. Otherwise there will always be that feeling that she may be alive somewhere and then some brightspark in the EU will bring her back as a 80 year old heroine...

Problem is we DON'T quite find out what happened to her in VI, do we? I think there could be riots if we don't find out in some way.
