Original trilogy

Return of the Jedi

Return of the Jedi, the final film in the original trilogy, alludes to the character. While in the Ewok village on the forest moon of Endor, Luke Skywalker asked if Leia Organa remembers their "real mother". Leia answers that "she died when I was very young" and also says that "she was very beautiful... kind... but sad" while Luke confesses to have no memories of their mother. In an extended scene of Return of the Jedi, when Obi-Wan talks to Luke he explains in detail what happened to his mother. It differs from the prequels in that Luke and Leia's mother snuck away as a handmaiden of Bail Organa and was with Leia until the Princess turned four, making the line Leia says to Luke about remembering their mother more believable. However, some made the argument that Leia could have been referring to her adoptive mother (Bail Organa's wife, Breha).
