11 Glaring Plot Holes in Star Wars

11. Leia remembers her mother

Prequel based error.  In Return of the Jedi, Luke takes a moment before confronting Vader to ask if Leia remembers her mother.  She says she does a little bit, “just images, feelings”.  But in Revenge of the Sith, Padme dies in childbirth seconds after Leia’s birth. Luke, as the firstborn, had more experience with their mother than Leia did. Some fans hypothesize that Leia could use the Force to feel her mother, but as a trained jedi Luke should be able to do the same. As it is, Leia’s more likely telling her brother about the Queen of Alderaan, a woman who is unrelated to him.
