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

This is the most overwhelming error in the film if you ask me. Leia has a connection that Luke doesn't have. Yet in the script and the novel there is no extra shared moment between Leia and Padme. 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.

bail told her of padme. she was told by eveyone around her.. it was just put into her brain.. like if you had people telling you that one year when you were two, you wore "the cutest little striped shirt for your birthday"... you dont remmeber it, but over time, you learn to accept it and make up your own memory of it.

thats how it is IMO

I agree with Lucasfilm. Think about it, Leia grew up with Bail Organa, Luke grew up with Owen and Beru Lars. Bail was one of Padme's closest friends, while Owen and Beru barely even knew Padme.

Leia has a force connection as Luke does... And as Yoda says, you can see things, people and places from in the future and in the past..
If not... Maybe its Genetic memory... But either way, I agree that this doesn't appear to be explained in the Novel/Spoilers of ROTS....

it may just be impressions in the force too. Because Luke lands on Dagobah and says there's something familiar about this place. I think he's refering to a familiarity he feels that, unconciously, is him recognizing Yoda's "aura" "impression" whatever, in the force. Perhaps Leia experiences something similar.

And I'm still not convinced that line about her mother is about Padme. Unlike Luke retaining the Skywalker name, thus allowing him to know he is adopted, Leia was raised with the Organa last name, perhaps she still thinks her mother is Bail's wife.

How accurate is the Novel? I was hoping to find out more about how anakin was concieved. The way Shmi says "I can't explain what happened" leaves me very curious. It's not just a plain "I can't explain what happened". Theres something else in it. He has to have some connection to that in ROTS.

but did Leia know at the time that Bails wife was not her 'real' mother? I always assumed she knew she was adopted but maybe she always considered Bails wife her real mother and Bail her real father.

Remember Luke tells her that she is his sister after he asks about her real mother. So maybe Bail's wifey died when Leia was still a baby?
