flawlessly, as in Leia is a princess because??

A) Naboo queens are elected, hence no princesses

B) remember that little talk on ewok trees she had with luke about her real mother that died when she was 4 (or so)...

Also note R2's jet propultion.

And don't forget Anakin's half brother that is 20years old like anakin although he did not exist when anakin was 10 (just so that he and the wife appeared... The story would have been fine with him being 10...)

 

I am hardly a SW reference but these points enoyed me when watching the movie... and they could easely have been avoided...

all the more reasons to show them in creation order imho

At the end of Episode 3, Padmé gives birth to Luke and Leia.  Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Bail Organa decide that the twins must be hidden.  Obi-Wan takes Luke to Tatooine so he can live with relatives. Bail Organa, who is the head of the royal family on Alderaan, takes Leia.  The Organa's adopt Leia.  Hence her name, Princess Leia Organa.

Your point in B does seem to be a plot hole.

I don't think R2's jets are a plot hole, they are just stupid.

Owen Lars is actually Anakin's step-brother.  Anakin's mom married after Anakin left Tatooine, which is why we don't meet him earlier.

its possible that her adopted mother died when she was 4
