A couple spoilery questions about Revenge of the Sith

[brak666]

So, it took them like three years to get about a quarter done with the Death Star and 20 years to finish it?

And Leia was totally lying to Luke in Jedi when she told him about her mother?

I was wondering about that myself.... Maybe fighting the Rebellion got in the way?

I always took Leia's comment to mean her adoptive mother -- there's a possibility that Bail's wife died young.

I don't think the first Death Star was a new in episode IV. I think it had been "keeping the peace in other systems," so it's possibly that straight arrow Leia wouldn't have been aware of it or rumours of it and probable that old Ben Kenobi wouldn't be.

As for Leia, curse you, George Lucas!</i.
