Regarding Luke and Leia's Mom

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2006)

I have enjoyed all of the Star Wars films, but do not consider myself an expert on a lot of the details. Episodes 4 thru 6 are my favorites, of course, being a child in the late '70s. However, after seeing Episode 3, I have a question regarding a conversation between Luke and Leia in Episode 6. I believe Luke asks Leia about their mother and she replies (misquote) "she was beautiful, but sad". Is Leia referring to their real mom, Padme? And if so, is that possible, being that Padme died in childbirth? Again, I am sure that many avid Star Wars fans know distinct details that I may have missed, but this one thing just stuck out to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
