I guess this gets into "what did Lucas know and when?", which too often seems to take on overtones of "I'm offended my personal theories weren't correct." Had more been made of "Mrs. Skywalker" in 1983, I'm sure speculation would have bloomed over the years of waiting. (The Return of the Jedi novelization, though, did go so far as to say "Anakin didn't know his wife was pregnant when he left her"; I admit I'd supposed right after Attack of the Clones he and Padme would be separated during "Episode III"... although after enduring the nasty spin put on things by others, I'll also admit to feeling pleased at the first reports that wouldn't be the case.)
