Oh OH!! I can answer that UC :)
You mean there is an actual answer to that conundrum? I didn't know that.
But make sure you cite chapter and verse of the Book of George. We'll have to confirm it by the Scriptures.

LOL.
It is a lame answer though, I warn you.
Leia is referring NOT to Padme (her actual mother), but to the senator's wife who adopted her. It is lame because of course we are led to believe from the earlier episodes that she is speaking of her true mother, who was sad and died young. Then we know that can't be because Padme died giving birth. So now we have to shift from Padme being sad (because of Annakin, and losing him to Vader), to the senator's wife being sad (because of the loss of the republic?)
Luke of course has no memory of this because he was sent elsewhere as a baby.
Anyway, there you go :)
You are SOOO welcome!
Peace,

LOL, Tammy...
It makes sense, in a way....
But it's still just an interpretation of scripture. The original manuscripts do not jive with later manuscripts.
I have faith only in the original testament of Obi-Wan and the apprentice Jedi, Luke. All later manuscripts, even though said to be penned by the Almighty George, are inferior to the original Holy Writings and create plot holes and inconsistencies that can't be fixed.
But thanks for the explanation... heretical as it may be.

In the Bible “three days” does not necessarily mean three full days.
In the Bible “a generation” does not necessarily mean a generation of 48/70/80 years.
Roughly 2,000 years ago they were 'spot on', give or take a few hours.
Nowadays it is a bicentennial hit or miss lookout.

Any comparison to stories in the Hebrew scriptures were made after the fact by those who believed Jesus to be the Messiah. No one in Jesus' day were looking for a "sign of Jonah" regarding their Messiah. The story of Jonah is not found in the Torah (first 5 books written by Moses) it is the story of a prophet (who didn't speak at all about the Messiah) there is nothing in that story that implies that it foretells anything in the future.
Coincidence on the number of days is not evidence of prophecy. Patterns in life are normal and can be used to "support" any theory. Didn't we learn that from the JWs?
Truly, there are plenty of prophecies about the Messiah in the Hebrew scriptures without trying to retrofit other stories as prophecy.

Rocky_Girl : I woudn't say a man being in the belly of a whale for 3days/3nights is a coincidence, especially not when we was vomitted out at a shore after all those days.

The "three days" is a coincidence. Just because one story says that something happened to one person for three days doesn't mean that it is a prophecy about another person in the future. There have been millions of "three day" events in history, who says that these specific two are connected in any way? The book of Jonah has nothing to do with any messianic prophecies.
