įollowing Padmé Amidala's death after giving birth to twins, Breha and Bail Organa adopted her daughter, Leia.ĭeath could occur during childbirth. However, during his imprisonment and subsequent questioning as to whether he was the father of Lyra's child, Coruscant resident Galen Erso disputed this. By the time of the Clone Wars, a rumor on Vallt held that the human women of Coruscant no longer carried or delivered their own progeny and hired others to do it for them. Sentient beings called midwives or midwife droids could assist with births, which might take place in a maternity ward or birthing chamber. Resource limitations also led to childbearing restrictions in the city Arratu Station. On the desolate planet Parnassos, atmospheric impurities or poor nutrition due to scarce resources among the warrior clan Scyre led to decreases in conceptions, and most pregnancies never made it to term. Ĭonception did not guarantee that the pregnancy would result in a birth. Pairings of the Quarrens and Mon Calamari species could also produce hybrids. Humans could also reproduce with Theelins, Mirialans, and Espirions the latter resulted in a hybrid species on Alderaan, Alder-Espirions. Shaeeah Lawquane, Jek Lawquane, and Jacen Syndulla all had human fathers and Twi'lek mothers. Some humanoid species were capable of conceiving hybrid offspring with members of other species. Beings could also choose to have a child without a sexual partner, such as Amidala's sister, Sola Naberrie, who delivered a daughter, Ryoo Naberrie. She gave birth to twins, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Senator Padmé Amidala of the planet Naboo became pregnant during the Clone Wars with her husband, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, as the father. For instance, Lyra and Galen Erso were lovers and spouses who conceived a child, Jyn, and Lyra delivered Jyn on the planet Vallt.
Or some version of it." ―Senator Padmé Amidala and Queen Breha Organa, discussing reproductive options Īmong some species, such as humans, reproduction often involved a pair of beings conceiving a child together as biological parents. I think I would like what my parents have, though. And I imagine that I will, too, however my child comes to me." " My mother told me that she had a similar shift in her thinking after I was born. It's put me in a mind to think about the future in a different sort of way than I usually do." That's the only reason I hesitated before accepting your invitation.
