How does Leia have a memory of her mother?

All of the script plots seem to indicate that after Leia and Luke are born, Padme dies. How then could Leia possibly have a memory of her mother as indicated in ROJ??

I just now found this -
Leia's recollections as described in Return of the Jedi have no inherent flaws and are valid given the greater context of the saga. But I suspect those looking for contradictions always find them. -PH

I really don't know she must have heard stories from senator bail organa her father on alderan.

I think Leia will be born first and Padme will be able to hold her and so some sort of memory bond will occur. Padme will die before Luke gets removed. Thus through her as yet untapped force powers Leia will give more clarity to Yoda's line "Through the force, many things will you see: the future, the past, old friends long gone"

The Force....people th force!

yeah, if it's true she immediatly dies after giving birth, I suppose it has to be that lame excuse

She could be remembering her adoptive mother, Bail Organa' s wife

Leia only remembers images really ( shes sad ).

macehonda: she doesn't, she remembers her mother, her real mother, that's what Lukes asks: her REAL mother

just as yoda felt the emotions of qui-gon live on force news 24, I guess at some point leia would of had that imprinted on her or sensed it.
The force works in mysterious ways, remember there the children of the chosen one.

Wait, if the prophecy is that the chosen one would destroy the emporer and his apperntice, bringing balance back to the force, and would be born of the force
Perhaps yoda made a major error, who else do we know that destroyed them both, became the apprentice to the emporer (later on....), and was born from the most powerful source of the force alive 😐 could be an interesting twist

Luke being in fact the chosen one

nope, it's been clearly said by GL a few times that it is Anakin who is the Chosen One

Yes indeed- Luke didn't destroy either of them.

yes, but at the time did she know who her 'real' mother was? she refers to bail as her father so going by that line of thought she would consider his wife her mother. hopefully ep3 will answer this question or lucas could just leave it up to fan interpretation

from your point of view 🙄

He killed the cloned emporer at least 😎

I suspect GL's point of view is the important one...

Macehonda, she couldn't possibly be talking about Bail's wife, else she would have asked what Luke meant by 'real'. She clearly knows she is adopted. So if you think she is talking about another woman, Bail's wife it is not.

ahh the ignorance of youth ey, ushgarak, if im the future of starwars fandom we have some rocky years ahead of us.

Have we yet to find out how long padme will be alive for after giving birth? Plus you go to remember they say children can hear what goes on while inside the womb, though I dought leia would remember anything as definite as anikan telling padme how "beautiful she is"

I think Leia, being born first, will have a brief connection with her mother and will be able to recollect those images and feelings she spoke of. She is the grandaughter of the force, that has to count for something.

Good point, perhaps that may be the case. I sort of feel that it'll be like that, then again it could be images through the force somehow. We'll have to wait and see.

I'm pretty sure GL will do or show something in Episode 3 that will explain Leia's remembrance of her mother. Whatever it is, I just hope it fits in well.
