Galactic Mysteries

I always just settled for a mistake in the continuity there. Although these are rather logical theories. I wonder what Lucasfilm's official stance would be.

I always believed that her memories were simply those of Bail's wife, who could have possibly died early in Leia's childhood.

That is another possability.

Its also a very logical one that probably disrupts the entire series the least. I mean, it was viable even before the prequels came out.  

[Sol Walker]

This much could be true.  

[FrozenPhoenix32]

Canoically, it's because Leia had a Force-bond with Padme and the Force kept the lingering memories or some rot like htat.  

[Durza the Shade]

And Luke's emphasis on "your real mother" is supposed to make it clear that he's not talking about Queen Organa - Leia knew she was adopted.  

[Nelowulf]

Yes, but who's to say that after Bail's wife died at an early age, he didn't remarry?  

[Sol Walker]

*Musing*
hey...wait, Jar Jar was belived to have said something in the dvd version of ROTJ.
how old would he be at that point?  

[Durza the Shade]

*shrug* Well, he's a relatively young adult Gungan in TPM, but we don't know how fast Gungans mature or how long they live . . . In Star Wars Galaxies, which takes place during the OT timeframe, Boss Nass is still in charge of Otah Gunga, so it's reasonable to assume Jar Jar is still plenty young enough to scream at the top of his lungs in RotJ - even though it should be illegal for him to do so.

edit: Hey! I shudder at the very thought of Jar Jar in the EU, but if Gungans really are long lived, now that *spoilers* Luke and Leia finally know the name of their mother in Dark Nest, wouldn't it be possible for them to track down Old Man Jar Jar and chat about old memories?  

[Sol Walker]

I'd have to check my books, but I belive an average gungan's lifespan is just slightly shorter than a human's.  

[Nelowulf]

Ol' man Jar Jar... no. Just... no.

Also, one more thing: The Force is not a palantiir. Its not 100% accurate. Humans make mistakes too.

But a human's lifespan in the GFFA is longer than on Earth. At the beginning of Dark Nest 1, Han is in his mid-sixties, and Leia tells him he could still be active at 110, if he takes care of himself.

I didn't know that. Is there any chance she was just being cute?

.....or was it more of a sincere, take it seriously scene?  

[FrozenPhoenix32]

Yeah, its been confirmed by many authors, such as Troy Denning and Karen Traviss.
