This is Weird

In episode VI, Leia says she only remembers a bit of her mother (padme) but in episode III padme dies straight after birth, thats weird

The force is strong with the Skywalker family that is why she rememers Padme but Luke was taken away from Padme at birth and Leia got to stay with Bail so Bail probably told Leia about Padme....

yeah but i think leia says about her looks, i cant remember i only watched it a couple of days ago lol

dout it he had 3pos memory wiped to not say anythin

see i proved a point, i guess GL missed something

LUKE:
Leia... do you remember your mother? Your
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:
She was very beautiful. Kind, but...sad.
Why are you asking me all this?

LUKE:
I have no memory of my mother. I never knew
her.

Couldn't Leia be talking about Bail's wife?Maybe this Queen of
Alderaan dies sometime later in Leia's childhood.

it's possible

Whereas Luke says "real mother." Leia knows she's been adopted.

yeah he has a point there

* she died when i was very young * she was 30 seconds old lol

Oh God not this discussion AGAIN!

It's a plot hole. Again.

she felt padme through the force.

i guess it has been posted before then, sorry 🙁

they made a force connection which allowed that memory to be like stained to her mind.

Like a grass stain?

Just kidding...

Who Is The Oldest Luke Or Leia...If It Was Leia Then Padme Maybe Was Alive At The Time That She Gave Birth To Luke The Second Time....There Is A Few Children In The Real World That Has Memories Of When They Were Born

Yeah, and they're usually the ones who were abducted by aliens and make crop circles in their spare time.

It's a plothole seriously. This "force imprinting" is bullshit.

Here:

Spoiler:
Leia is born after Luke - nice one Lucas

So yeah, Lucas makes it fun for everyone. 🙄

knowing lucas, there'll prolly be a shot of baby leia glancing up into padme's eyes just before she dies so that can somehow be justified as leia being able to remember her face slightly, and posibly the force made the connecion stronger or whatever.

Yep, it is Star Wars after all, where rabid fans will come up with the most absurd rationalisations in order to cover a basic and pretty damn ugly plothole.

Leia's eye's won't be working properly anyway. So her looking at Padme would do nothing, she won't be able to see for something until a good week has passed.

It's a sucky situation. If Padme dies with Leia in her arms, then maybe I'd accept a "powerful force imprint" on Leia. I'll admit Lucas is in a crappy situation with this one, but there were always better ways to tell this story and not have this hole.

I bet he wishes he never had Leia say those lines in ROTJ. I can see him cutting out that scene in future editions, replacing them with CGI Jar Jar doing the tango with Yoda's ghost.
