Re: Where is Padme's Connection to Leia????

In fact she even goes so far as to touch Luke but not Leia. JW Titus's novel handles the scene far more emotionally and brilliantly. SWhe gives birth to Leia, touches her, names her then dies. And immediately after her death the Droid brings around Luke. And Obi-Wan is left to improvise his name. So he calls him Luke.This bonds Obi-Wan and Luke more
Justifies Leia's connection to Padme
Adds tragedy if Padme dies before seeing her son.Why the hell wouldnt this have occured to Lucas? Is he on drugs? He better have adjusted this scene in the last reshoots and cuts. Those occured before the script and book were printed out for publishing (I think and hope). Anyone know if the script is EXACTLY as the final cut is? Well some of you will pass of your opinions for being "in the know" but humor me.
I agree. That would have been a far better idea! I've always thought Lucas should have sorted that bit out better htan he did. But how exactly do we know it was Padme she was tlking about? Leia got the surname of her adopted mother, so maybe she also died young & Leia thought she was her real mother. Maybe that was the case.
