... although of course we must assume that Leia actually believes that Mrs. Organa is her mother. Who may well have died when Leia was young but NOT too young to remember.

*hides*

I am totally convinced that this explanation - BWAHAHAHAAAAA! I just noticed your icon while typing that. O, Em, Geee! *LOL*

ahem.

I am totally convinced that this explanation was grasped for later on. I don't think he really thought his story through.

Oh, I don't think he thought it through either. But it's not as much of a plothole as many people make it out to be. The explanation may be grasped for in hindsight (actually, I'm not aware Lucas ever used it himself), but it makes perfect sense, so this is not one of the points in the great and tangled plot that irks me. ;)
