Great explaination...wish i could communicate better...lol. How about this?
Luke knew He was adopted. He said "Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru" . In the original Star Wars it clearly implies Owen and Beru explained that to him or atleast he was old enough to know better when he came under their caring. If he was a baby when that happened like the Prequels were written, how did he know he was adopted? They would be like his actual parents unless like Laspector said, they told him...but told him what? You're adopted,Luke...your parents died. How? Based on ROTJ he clearly doesn't remember his mother so that checks but he doesn't know about his father either until Obi-wan tells him he was murdered. Obviously, Owen and Beru are holding back and trying to protect him because they know the truth. But when Luke says in ROTJ, "i have no memories of my mother" he already knew he was separated from his "father" at birth based on his conversation with force ghost OBI. Knowing Leia is now his sister and that he and his sister were separated from their father at birth, the only connection that Luke tries to piece together is their mother...thus the question. "Do you remember your mother? your real mother?" She does, obviously, a little bit. She reveals to him, that her mother died when she was young, remebers her beauty and kindness. Then Luke becomes self aware and (in my opinion) puts all the pieces together of what Obi-wan told him..They were sheilded from the whole truth and understands the threat the Emperor really is. Leia asks, what's troubling you? Lukes response, "Vader's here". I just had a thought:
The question by Luke "do you remember your mother, your real mother?" could just be him processing everything and it slipped knowing she is his twin and that he is adopted . Even so, Leia (in my opinion) was talking about her and Luke's biological mother only. Ron, this is why just sticking with the OT is the only way anything makes sense...lol. Too much info from all the other stuff that came afterwards has only clouded my mind and not clarified anything. Probably the only reason why that line stuck out to me after 40years was because of the Prequels.
