I actually did reference those in another way. Leia talking about how she went to Naboo and saw the mural was a reference to the Princess Leia mini-series, where she really did see a mural of Padmé and felt some sort of familiarity towards it. The implication of the comic was that she was connecting the mural to whatever Force-impressed memories she had of Padmé, so I took that idea and ran with it more.

I don't know if I'll be writing more Star Wars stories soon. Time shall tell!
