Luke & Leia

"The children are born." - NP
The infant twins will be bundled (wrapped in clothing). -PH
We will see who was born first, Luke or Leia. - RM
The infant twins are human babies and not CGI. - PE
Palpatine will not know about Luke and Leia. - PH
Padm?'s back to wearing disguises. As well as now hiding this marriage to a Jedi, which is not allowed, she has to hide the fact that she's going to have babies. All of the costumes had to disguise these facts." - Iain McCaig
"I was told by George Lucas that I would be playing a large part in the story including the delivering of two twin babies and playing a role in a major battle scene that involves many war machines. In fact, the opening action scene involving many Wookiees takes place on one of the many new planets seen in this movie." - PM
Pablo Hidalgo has seen no proof that Peter Mayhew's comments about "Chewbacca saving the twins" and/or "being in an action scene involving war machines" are anything more than rumors. - PH
At the end of the movie, the twins Luke and Leia are less than a month old. - RM
Leia's recollections as described in Return of the Jedi have no inherent flaws and are valid given the greater context of the saga. But I suspect those looking for contradictions always find them. - PH
There were at least two shots of real babies used, played by a crewmember's newborn, doubling as twins. - PH
Padm? will give birth to the twins on a brand-new, never-before-seen world. - PH
For Luke and Leia, rubber babies will be used. - RC
Obi-Wan knew of the existence of Leia before The Empire Strikes Back. - PH
Bail has two roles; to be one of the early architects of resistance to Palpatine's regime, and to become Leia Organa's foster father. His role will be fully realized by the end of Episode III. - PH
Knowing Leia's strengths in the political arenas, Obi-Wan had profound doubts about her abilities to become a Jedi capable of ending the Sith rule. - PH
