To Creston:
Dude, you get no points for Star Wars. Think about it - Leia's name was Leah ORGANA. She was raised by Bail Organa (Jimmy Smitts) and his wife. So Leah's memories of her "mother" weren't really of her real mother at all. To nin : Sorry, nice try, but no
Luke : Leia, do you remember your mother? Your
REAL mother?
Leia : Just images really, feelings.
Luke : Tell me.
Leia : She was very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why?
Luke : I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her.
Now, to me, that would seem to indicate he's referring to Padme. Leia KNEW she was not Bail Organa's daughter, because she already strongly suspects Luke is her brother (even though he doesn't tell her to confirm it until a bit later, but she says, "I know. Somehow, I've always known.")
That, combined with Luke's STRONG emphasis on the word REAL (mother), would to me indicate that Leia knew Luke was talking about Padme. :)I know way too much useless Star Wars crap

Edit : About Palpatine :
I don't think Palpatine was Plagueis (what a fucking retarded name) apprentice. It seemed to me he was alluding to a Sith Lord that was in power a long time ago. Remember, at the time of Ep 1-3, the Sith are really beaten down, which is why the Prophecy states that a Chosen One will come to restore balance to the Force. The Jedi, in their arrogance (and they ARE fucking arrogant in Ep 1-3), automatically assume this means that Anakin is there to overthrow the Sith, never imagining the he's there to restore the balance in the Sith's favor. 2 Sith, 2 Jedi.
If Plagueis was Palpatine's master, it would, imo, assume that the Sith were rather more powerful than they were at the time. I mean, that's some pretty hefty power you're talking about, if Plagueis was in hiding trying to avoid detection from the Jedi, I don't know if he would be able to obtain / hide such power.
For that matter, it is ENTIRELY possible that Palpatine is lying to Anakin about this power and its existence, simply to push him into the Dark Side.
In fact, I find that latter part more likely than the idea that Palpatine was Plagueis' master.
But I think we'll never know the truth on that matter.
