16. Leia Remembering Her Mother

In Return of the Jedi, Leia says she remembers her mother, describing her as “kind, but sad.” This clashes with Revenge of the Sith, where Padmé dies moments after Leia’s birth. This inconsistency creates a plot hole that stands out in hindsight. If Leia’s memory had been explained as a Force ability or reframed in the prequels, it could have deepened her connection to her heritage. Instead, it feels like an oversight that disrupts continuity and weakens one of Leia’s most personal moments in the story.
