I've always worked on the assumption that Leia didn't know she wasn't an Organa for real. She never knew she had a "real" mother because Breha was her mother. Breha also died while Leia was between 12-16. This is roughly 10-15 years before "New Hope"(my guess). Things happen, and that could be why her memories of her mother are fading.

I have always put this down to the fact that the story for episode three changed slightly between 1983 and 2005. In world explanation?

Luke Skywalker, son of Anakin, has the potential to become as evil and twisted as his father had become. Luke in fact sees many images of this later in the series (for those who have ...

Yes, of course! If it could not travel faster than light, interstellar travel would be impossible, and battle station that would be restricted to a single star-system would be pretty useless. In Star Wars Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the Death Star travel travel from Alderaan to Yavin IV, which are not in the same stellar system. Without faster than ...

In the first movie, Luke mistakes the Death Star for a small moon the first time he sees it, as shown in this clip. There isn't any further implication that the Death Star was MEANT to resemble a moon. In the novelization, however, there was a passage about the Death Star being covered in lights that could be turned on and off to mimic the phases of the ...
