it is likely that her force sensitivity allowed her to “remember” her mother the way she was. Leia's Force sensitivity was always more mental (persuasion,seeing through lies) than it was physical (telekinesis). But as a Skywalker she was a very powerful force sensitive even if she never tapped in to her abilities.
The reason Leia likely remembers Padmé is that she could sense her mother's emotions at the time of the senator's passing. Luke didn't possess the same ability as his sister and inherited their father's Force potential. This links with Luke's desire to follow Anakin's Jedi path.
We know that some Jedi such as Anakin Skywalker are able to experience Force visions. Therefore, it is possible that Leia's Force connection allowed her to see visions of her mother Padme from years before, which could explain why she has “memories” of her despite only being a baby when her mother died.
With Leia's strong connection to the Force, it seems like the most likely solution to this inconsistency is that she's caught glimpses of her mother through Force visions. As Luke trains with Yoda on Dagobah during Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the wise old master says, "Through the Force, things you will see.
In Legends, Luke and Leia do eventually discover their mother's identity during the Swarm War Trilogy.
Senator Padmé Amidala of the planet Naboo became pregnant during the Clone Wars with her husband, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, as the father. She gave birth to twins, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.
Overview. After her death in childbirth on Polis Massa, Amidala's body was returned to Naboo for the proper funeral rites. In order to hide the fact that Amidala's twins survived, her body was prepared to still appear pregnant.
Darth Vader didn't learn he had a daughter until Return of the Jedi, when he stood before Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's power probed Luke's mind, attempting to goad him to fall to the dark side, and he discovered Leia's existence.
The short answer is that creator George Lucas had no idea Leia would end up becoming Darth Vader's daughter. But Star Wars books and comics have tried to address the decades-old plot hole.
It's well known that Star Wars lead characters Luke Skywalker and Princess (now General) Leia are brother and sister. The estranged siblings didn't know about their familial relationship until "Return of the Jedi." They even shared a passionate kiss in the previous movie, "The Empire Strikes Back."
Attended by medical droids, Padmé Amidala gave birth to her twins Luke and Leia on Polis Massa. She died and the twins were split up, with Obi-Wan taking Luke to Tatooine and Bail Organa returning home to Alderaan with Leia.
In episode two, Leia reminds Obi-Wan of someone "fearless and stubborn" that he used to know. Not a Jedi, but "a leader." Kenobi is of course talking about Padmé Amidala, Leia's biological mother, but she doesn't realise that at this point.
At the end of the war, Bail Organa adopted Padmé's daughter Leia and raised her as an Alderaanian princess.
How did Padme die in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith? Originally Answered: How did Padme die? Padme Amidala's official cause of death was that she lost the will to leave, despite the fact that she was perfectly healthy.
Padmé Amidala was a courageous, hopeful leader, serving as Queen and then Senator of Naboo -- and was also handy with a blaster. Despite her ideals and all she did for the cause of peace, her secret, forbidden marriage to Jedi Anakin Skywalker would prove to have dire consequences for the galaxy.
The wedding of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala took place in 22 BBY by way of secret ceremony at the Varykino lake retreat in Naboo's Lake Country. The ceremony was officiated by a Pontifex of the Brotherhood of Cognizance named Maxiron Agolerga. The only witnesses to the marriage were the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO.
In the main Star Wars timeline, of course, Darth Vader's attempts to resurrect Padmé on Mustafar were doomed to failure. But it's fascinating to speculate what would have happened had he been successful.
Padmé was born in the year 46 BBY on Naboo, and Anakin was born five years later, in the year 41 BBY. That makes Padmé five years older than Anakin.
Alderaan's princess knew she had been adopted by Bail and Breha Organa after the Clone Wars, but she had no idea who her parents were. That was until Luke Skywalker told her the truth - that he was the son of Darth Vader, and that she was his sister.
In short, yes. Darth Vader found out that Luke had a twin sister a few moments before his death. Leia also found out that Vader was her father when Luke told her on the bridge in the Ewok village.
When Vader was in his fearsome suit and mask, he was informed by Emperor Palpatine that Padmé is dead. This has caused Vader with distraught to hear, and went mental in his chambers, resulting him to use the force in destroying everything, including the medical droids and his bindings.
Vader later learned that Luke was his son and that Amidala had indeed given birth, and he attempted to seduce Luke to the dark side of the Force.
