I don't remember that scene. Which movie was it in?
I believe those quotes are from two separate scenes.
If they're in a movie it's probably called "The John DiBella Lookalike and the Bad Robot".
In that case Leia would probably tend to think her memories were of Breha. On the other hand, if Breha died later, Leia could be confusing early memories of Breha with memories of her real mother.

KOTOR 2
I would have made a few changes to the end of Revenge of the Sith. I definately would have cut out the scene of Senator Organa taking baby Leia to Alderan.
In fact, part of me thinks that the movie needs to end with the shot of Darth Vader & Emperor Palpatine overseeing the construction of the Death Star. End with that dark, badass cliffhanger rather than squeezing in that ray of hope establishing baby Luke at the Lars homestead. But I guess Lucas' ending was the more commercial one. Revenge of the Sith is already much darker than nearly any big sci-fi movie would dare be.

It wouldn't really be a cliffhanger since we already saw 4-6.
Future generations of 7-year olds may watch them in number order. That's my principle gripe. Lucas deprived the next generation of the awesomeness of the revelation in V.
And I'm not saying that it isn't possible to justify Padme's death by saying the Force drained her (mediclorax sounds more like a treatment for thrush to me). I'm just saying it was as superfluous to requirements as naming the twins, showing Leia's adoption, and even showing Luke being taken back to Tatooine. Why can't Anakin be left burning on the mountainside? It makes Ben's assertion that Vader killed Luke's father a lot creepier in IV and keeps a bit of the mystery for the kids. Just how does Kenobi know Vader at the end of IV? It raises clues for the kiddies without being overly specific.
These are all issues that are dealt with in the later movies - we don't need to extend this already long movie by half an hour tying all these loose ends up in a bow and ruining the surprises that are in store for our great grandchildren. I'd pay money for a re-edit!
My solution: never show your kids the prequels.
By the way, Mr. Plinkett just put an app up in the app store. You canw atch reviews, use a Plinkett soundboard, and email pizza rolls
Only 59p? I may just have to get that...
Yeah it's 99 cents here. Worth it
Unless they've been very, very bad.
Ah, good one. Of course that would involve purchasing them again, so I'd be punishing myself too!
I love it how some bitter fanboys would like to tell kids what they should see and what not.
My advice: grow the hell up.

True enough. And that's how I generally watch them now. And an awesome cliffhanger is an awesome cliffhanger regardless of whether or not you're familiar with the resolution. In fact, knowing how things turned out in A New Hope was what made the Padme/Anakin wedding such an oh-shit moment at the end of Attack of the Clones, not to mention the massive formations of the clone army. Foreknowledge of A New Hope simply reinforced the sinking "This will not end well" feeling.
But with Revenge of the Sith, there were 2 ways to end it: Remind the viewers of how bleak things are when A New Hope begins or remind the viewers of how nostalgic they feel about Luke, Tattooine, & the Lars homestead from A New Hope. I suppose I can understand Lucas wanting to end on a positive note since it was going to be the final movie to be released.
