    Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother?

    Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.

    Talk about burying the lede, Leia. JFC.

    If GL hadn’t sold, there would eventually have been a superduperhyperspecial edition that would have changed that line, among others, because he obviously didn’t mean it literally and it wasn’t his actual vision and only 1980s technical limitations forced him into permitting scripted lines that turned out to be bullshit. :-)

      I just assumed she meant her adopted mother, Mrs. Bail Organa. Or did I miss something here?

      Edit: nevermind, just looked it up and Breha died on Alderaan when the Death Star blew it up. Lame.

        That detail wasn’t in any of the movies so the line in ep 6 still makes sense the way you thought. I’m pretty sure anyone would assume that’s what she meant, since we never hear that she knew she was adopted. Whoever made Bail’s wife die in the explosion of Alderaan is the one who messed up, or Lucas ignored that addition when making episode I.
