Luke and Leia

So, when will they be born. Will it be at the end of EP2, perhaps while Anakin is on a mission(which completes his turn to the dark side) and the queen takes them into hiding after hearing. OR is it the beginning of EP3, and one of the main plot lines is trying to hide them. I most likely think it will be the middle(how long is a pregnancy is the SW universe? I mean will the queen be pregnant at the beginning or is pregnancy quicker?) After they are born, I assume OB1 says he'll take and look after Luke on Tatooine and Padme takes Leia to live with her on Alderaan(where she will be killed by a bounty hunter) then Ob1 goes to whoop up and Anakin/Vader and knocks him into the pit. Then he returns to Tatooine where Yoda awaits him, telling him to keep an out for the boy, because when the time comes, he will truely bring balance to the force.

it makes more sense to have them born at the beginning of E3 simply because otherwise, you have to spend an entire movie (either 2 or 3) with Padme pregnant. also, if they are born at the end of 2, you could have their safety and secrecy be a major issue in 3. where are they? do they almost get discovered or killed or etc.

cheers

I agree that they will be born in Episode 3. Do you think we may see Amidala die giving birth to them or would that no fit in well with what Leia says in ROTJ?

It would be weird seeing her die giving child birth. Maybe Luke and Leia are so strong in the Force that Padme, with no Force, cannot withstand their power and it kills her. However, I must say I think she is killed by a bounty hunter, but Anakin is made to think it was OB1 or perhaps another Jedi?

The wedding will take place sometime in the middle of ep2. It won't happen at the end because I don't think George will end ep2 on a happy note. The twins birth will be in ep3 since the wedding will be in ep2 and two big events like that probably won't be in the same movie. Obi-Wan will take Luke back to Tatoonie to live with Owen and Beru and Amidala will take Leia to Alderaan with her. There is so much speculation as to Amidala's death, it could be anything at this point, even a pure accident. I also think part of the reason Luke is left with Owen and Beru is that they are not force-sensitive, thus with Luke there, there wouldn't be three or even two of them together, drawing a lot of attention from emporer with a lot of power concentrated in one place. Plus, Tatoonine is on the outer rim, not in the Empire's central jurisdiction.

I don't think we'll definately see their wedding. I could imagine the prologue crawl for Episode 3 saying something like "Anakin Skywalker and Queen Amidala have married and" and so on.

...and Anakin, under the watchful eye of Obi-Wan Kenobi continues his Jedi training.....

TheForce.Net has a article saying Luke will be 4 at the end of Episode III.So if this is indeed true,they will have to be born in Episode II if not sooner.

Yes it would be good to see Luke as a young boy.

They will be very young in EpIII, maybe even quite newboarn. That's my theory anyway.

I suspect we may well see a rather bunned up Padme throughout Ep-III as well.

I think Rick MacCallum said that we would only see Luke and Leia as babies. Not kids. I forgot where I heard him say it though.

That;s what I was basing my post on DD. Couldn't remeber if is was RM or GL who said it though. Thanks for the info.

No prob.

I still wonder why Amidala takes Leia to live as a royal princess and leaves Luke as a farmboy on tatooine. Seems unfair to me.

Nor really, Obi Wan explains it to luke in ROTJ. By seperating them and birth and taking Leia to Alderaan, she remained safely anonymous.

It would alm ost indicate that the twins werew born on Tatooine though.

Ah I see. I miss everything.

Yeah, I missed that too...I didn't remember the "taking" part...( I still don't, but that's okay 🙂 )

I'd have to check the ROTJ video to be sure but tha's how I remember it.

Actually I watched it and he doesn't even mention Alderaan. He just says something about seperating Luke and Leia and then he says "that is why your sister remains safely anonymous." Then Luke says, "Leia! Leia's my sister!"

Anonymous to everyone that isn't force-sensitive, that is.

Vader was force sensitive.So was Palpatine.
