Recent News From EP3 Set *Spoilers*

GL says 20, it is 20. And Luke was 20. That's how it is.

And I KNOW the Prequel Films can change things, but none of THAT changes the fact that we were told, factually, in ROTJ that Leia remembers her real mother, and that is all there is to it- that is what the best information we have is.

And if that becomes an inconsistency I do not expect an offiical explanation.

Lance just reported MacCallum saying Padme dies... No official explanation yet. I think Ush is gonna be right on this.

Many have been saying that Padme dies!! 🙁

This thread moved so quickly today (overnight)!!

and what if I said ie that Palpatine is actually a clawdite and that he's actually Shmi plus claiming many say that too?
still is a rumor and holds nothing of the truth, so don't believe that, hypernova, till you have a solid confirmation

indeed............goes looking for supershadow so we can punch him around

Lance might have just been repeating what was already said in here, queeq, and he said 'possible' confirmation.

I am perfectly open to the idea that he has said it, I just want a link to where he did it! Or where it was reported. or something! Like I said a couple of pages back, that's a big reveal to not have sourced!

Hey, I agree. He seemed pretty sure of himself though.

Well, it is that he seemed to say it soon after it was said in this thread- he might have just been repeating it, I dunno.

Possibly.

I know!! 😉 😛

As far as the line in ROTJ , when Leia mentions her mother( i am assuming that this is what was mention before) doesnt she think that Bail Organa is her father? What if the woman she remembered as her mother was Bail's wife not padme? That would allow for her dying before leia was of age to remember her. Just a guess!

Thank you! That's what I've been saying but its not well received 😒

🐰 what's with this bunny as an emotion? any of you feelin' a litte rabbity today?

😆
I am!! 😛 🙂

Oh God, not that again...

Luke specifies her REAL mother, not her adoptive one. oOf course she is not talking about Bail's wife, that would be silly. Obviously she knew she was adopted otherwise she would have said "What do you mean, my REAL mother?"

Now, you can stillt ry and make out that Leia is mistaken about her real mother anyway, but that is just silly as well- as pointed out before, that part of the film was clearly intedned to tell us, very briefly, about Anakin's wife.

that comes down to point of view. Ive already heard your argument for this and its full of holes. its all based on YOUR opinion of what Lucas was trying to do with that scene. If its confirmed she dies, then Leia obviously isn't remembering her mother is she? Not unless they say that because shes the chosen ones offspring she can remember more than most kids. And if that were true, then luke would remember her too. i don't remember her asking "What do you mean, my REAL mother?" either. Can someone post the ACTUAL script to this scene? I remember Luke saying it but not her. Whoever she was told her mother was is who she believes her mother was. Otherwise, by your logic, Luke would remember her too and he doesn't.

Luke: "Leia, Do you remember you're mother..You're REAL mother"
Leia:"Just a little bit, she died when I was very young"
Luke:"What do you remember"
Leia:"Just images really,..feelings"
Luke:"Tell me.."
Leia:"[sighs]..she was very beautiful, kind, but sad...Why are you asking me this"

it is AFTER this that luke reveals to her the truth about them, Vader, ect.. So one could argue that Leia, never knew that her "adopted" mother was not her real one.....However, I feel that her mentioning that her mother was SAD is a huge clue, (it is stressed) and after all the known events, Padme would have definitely lived out the remainder of her life in depression...perhaps she allowed Obi to take Luke, but insisted on keeping Leia..."Ending the movie on a sad note" may be Padme having to part with one of her just born children. Either way GL has a lot a room to work here, he will do what he wants. I mean, while this is very unlikely, we don't even know is Padme knew she hed two children, or if you wanna get real crazy maybe she did not know about either, or was told they died at birth. the only thing we know is Leia remembers a beautiful, kind, sad women- sound a lot like Padme to me......

So one could argue that Leia, never knew that her "adopted" mother was not her real one

she answered the question about HER REAL MOTHER so she was obvious aware of that particulare situation

This situation in ROTJ is what makes a Padme death in EP III a bit of a flaw

It is not based on simply MY opinion. It is based on an ounce of common sense. As Finti, says. Luke asks Leia about her REAL MOTHER. Information is then provided to the audience about her REAL MOTHER. Stop trying to massivley over-complicate- it is that simple. Any other way, not only does Leia have an adopted mother, but there is also some other woman that we do not know of who Leia thought was her real mother, and died young, but who was not actually her real mother. Weird. Not impossible, but I would want proof.

And, again, yes she DID know her adopted Mother was not her real one, OTHERWISE she would have asked what Luke meant by 'Real Mother'. That is still patently obvious.

"i don't remember her asking "What do you mean, my REAL mother?" either. Can someone post the ACTUAL script to this scene? I remember Luke saying it but not her"

I never said she said it- at least do me the courtesy of reading what I say. I specifically said she didn't say it, but WOULD have said it if she did not know she was adopted.

And the only thing that is true by my logic is that there is a large potential continuity error here.

I am sorry, but nothing will ever change the fact that this scene was information given to the audience about Padme. Period. It has no other purpose.

i think GL meant that too when he wrote it, let me clarify my point, I agree with you that it was supposed to be about Padme (even though I'll bet he didn't have her named yet but who knows) I'm saying I don't see how that scene can, at THIS point, logically mean that. I agree, the description of her always meant her mother to me as well, obviously sad about Anakin's fall along the the rest of the galaxy. But how does this make sense with what we know now? And how certain are people that Padme dies? is it like really really set in stone fact? I just hope McCallum's not playing with us like when he said there would be Podracing in II...that would be really f-ed up. I totally agree that she shouldn't die so that scene in ROTJ doesn't get destroyed, its one of my favorite scenes in all the movies. But if she dies, how can he possibly justify that conversation?

Her "real" mother could be one of the handmaidens of Padme. Unknown to Leia who considered her to be her real mother. Once we have all 6 movies together, I bet it will make more sense. Right now, we haven't even seen EpIII yet. So calm down.
