I like the idea of them finding a message from Padme. They could be really mean and have Anakin's Force Ghost with whoever sees it.
This discussion about Padme got me thinking, do you think Bail would have ever told Leia about Padme? I know she told Luke she didn't remember her mother, but I still wonder if he ever told her stories about Padme, even if he didn't she was her mother.

Leia's aware that she at least had two mother-figures in her life.
"Do you remember your mother - your real mother?"
It's not really known if Leia knows about Padme or not.
Did Bail's wife die when Leia was very young and then he remarried? I suppose it's possible he told Leia Padme died shortly after giving birth to her and 'real' is mentioned to differentiate Bail's wife from Padme.

Leia didn't recognize the queen statue (other than she had a "feeling") in that recent comic, so I don't know.
I suspect Bail and Breha were vague at best. Or, perhaps when Mon was over for dinner, the three of them told Leia tales of their old senator friend without mentioning names or ever stating she was Leia's real mother.
I suspect they were afraid that if Leia ever actively and consciously thought of Padme as her mother, then she'd blip on Palps Force radar, but she still has a right to know what kind of person her mother was.

Was there ever any EU material that mentioned Breha Organa dying before the events of the Original Trilogy? Bail didn't die until the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, but we know little or nothing about Breha's fate after the final moments of Episode III.
I think Bail decided to tell Leia little or nothing about Padmé and if he did it could have been a name mentioned to his adoptive daughter as one of the founders of the Rebellion when it was just a group of disaffected Senators increasingly fed up with Palpatine's growing authoritarianism. She may not have learned who her real biological mother even was until Luke told her details during and after the events of ROTJ.

We already got one. She was released in 2008. 
Except the Tonnika Sisters.
They probably won't get around to making them. Long story, and likely involving legal wrangling. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Oh, I know. I've heard the Tonnika Sisters story and theories talked about so many times over the years I just didn't want to type it out in that post. In the collecting community it's become one of the great discussion topics and a tiresome one at that.
"Will we ever get figures of the Tonnika Sisters?"
"No. How many times do we have to go over this? Now shut up and talk about something a little more realistic, like a 6-inch scale Jabba's Sail Barge."

Interesting at least in Legends they were also the two Mistryl Shadow Guard character that appeared in the Hand of Thrawn Duology.
According to her Legends entry of Wookiepedia, she was still alive and with Bail on Alderaan when it was destroyed. They even have a drawing of them together as the superlaser hits behind them.
Jesus.
It's like falling through a sewer grate in a back alley of the seediest part of town!
I just finished LOST STARS. It was pretty good. The only "young adult" thing about it is the obvious beats of the tragic love story, but it was really cool to see that set against the backdrop of the OT. The first third when they're just kids wasn't very thrilling though.
The ending had some major revelations about the post-ROTJ state of the universe.

I prefer to think that she died quite a while ago and is the woman Leia described in RotJ.
Back before we knew anything about Padme (IIRC the EU kept trying to make her out as a "Jedi Princess" before the prequels came out), it wasn't a problem. The original implication being that Luke & Leia's mother stayed with Leia the way Obi Wan stayed with Luke, but died early on. In retrospect it makes no sense for Leia to have a memory--vague though it may be--of her *real* mother.
In the context of what we now know, it's possible Bail remarried, or perhaps preferably; Leia had some sort of surrogate maternal figure (perhaps an aunt, or a nanny of some description) that she thought of as a sort of adoptive mother, since her "real" mother (Breha) died when she was still an infant.
That would make the exchange with Luke make a little more sense in retrospect IMO.
If Breha was still alive when Alderaan was destroyed than the 'real mother' Leia was talking about couldn't have been Padme since she'd have no memory of her at all beyond some sort of possible Force sense that she couldn't have possibly understood at that age or later without knowing she had abilities.
