I don't exactly know, but either Rick McCallum or George Lucas said that various characters in the film will be seen wearing pieces of a costume you'll see later on Darth Vader.

-Padme's family is in Episode 3:
You mean like her parents?? If they are going to add this they should've left the scenes from Ep2 in. It's just going to be weird now.
-Rohan Nichol has nothing to do with Han Solo, nor will Han Solo be in the film:
Rohan Nichol??
-Padme will be pregnant with Luke and Leia:
Will she give birth DURING the film??
-Chewbacca will help hide at least one of Padme's kids:
Ok, I like Chewie and all but how can GL expect us to believe that Padme's just gonna let some hairy wookie hide one of her newborns??
1. Yes I think they should have left those scenes in as well. I'm guessing they are going to re-introduce us to the family for Episode 3.
2.Rohan Nichol is an actor, I don't even know who he is, but he is a confirmed cast member that supposedly looks somewhat like a young Han Solo, so that's how that rumor started.
3. She will have the twins, but I would speculate they will not show the actual birth.
4. Who knows.

Thanx Lance
I kinda guessed they wouldn't show the ACTUAL birth but it's just when you put that she'd be pregnant with them I wasn't sure if she would be pregnant with them the entire film or if the twins would be born.
