I noticed it too, but I kinda wrote it off as another attempt to tie III and IV togther (right in there with the more Stormtrooper like clone armor, the republic fighters looking just a bit more like TIE fighters, etc). I'll agree to the grown woman comment. That and the whole metal slave bikini thing in Jabba's palace didn't hurt the whole "Leia=hot" mind setting. Episodes I-III were really painful at times. Episode one didn't seem too bad, but that's because I watched it way back in middle school, when anything and everything star wars had to be awesome. But haveing hindsight, and haveing gone back and watched I and II after seeing III, and all of them have the "oww make it stop it burns!" phases of dialoge. I think it was less that Lucas is a good writer, and more that he's got lots of great ideas in his head. It's just that those ideas need direction, and someone else to make them more fleshed out, or else we get the terror of Jar Jar, the agony of "no I wub you more," and unintentional hilarity (the "nooooo" in III had me laughing for a few minutes, maybe I'm just a freak). I remeber hearing that line too, and it bothered me throughout all of III. I suppose if one's just going to cover for Lucas here, I think all Leia says is she remembers her as very beautiful and sad (or distant, I may have watched the movies a few hundred times, but it's been a few years since the last time). I suppose she could have gotten that impression in the 5 minutes Padme lived after haveing the twins. Then again, why didn't Luke have the same memory as he was sorta kinda there for that. And it appears my inner geek has escaped again. Time to do somthing um. Somthing not geeky.
