So now they're all arguing over and over about how she remembers her mother by using the Force, or whatever. It'll NEVER all line up. So for those folks, here's your option: Understand that it's just a movie. In the 80's George wanted Leia to say one thing, and now, 20 years later, when he gets to the scene, he wanted it to play a different way. The other possibility, if you really have to reconcile it, was to just say that Leia was wrong. She THOUGHT she saw her real mother, but she was mistaken, or dreaming. People make mistakes all the time. I made one by seeing any of the prequels. Darth Vader is now ruined for me. "Nooooooooooooooooooo!" :wink:

I do have many questions, though...
