I den ursprungliga romaniseringen, dör inte Padmé dör i födseln :
In the novelization of Return of the Jedi, written by James Kahn, Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke that Anakin didn't know his lover was pregnant when he became Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan hid her away to protect her. After she gave birth, Obi-Wan took Luke to Tatooine and she took Leia to Alderaan.
Dessa händelser är helt retconed / motsägna i Sith Revenge.
In Children of the Jedi by Barbara Hambly, Leia mentions being raised by her aunts, suggesting that her adoptive mother died when she was young. However, Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays states that George Lucas intended for Leia to remember her real mother, and Leia's Star Wars Databank entry states that her memories are of Padmé.
Men som Mooz påpekade ovan, är hon, liksom hennes bror, kraftkänslig även om hon aldrig förstått eller utbildat sin förmåga.
Detta öppnar dörren till alla typer av kraftaktiverade flashbacks / images.
